Hi everyone! This is my first reveal...and my first pre-loved bag...and my first Epi bag...and only my second LV!

First, I would like to thank madforhandbags for graciously answering my many questions about this beautiful bag. Her detailed answers and photos really helped me make the decision to purchase! She arrived yesterday and is just beautiful. Just beautiful. Like a delicious red apple!

Please meet my new to me Coquelicot Epi Leather Doc BB!

I do have a question about the Epi leather though. I noticed there are a couple spots where the leather has "vertical" striations. One area is on the side right where the padlock hangs (picture below). The other side of the bag is perfect. And another area on the back of the bag (picture below). I circled the areas in the pictures. Is this normal wear and tear for Epi? Please let me know what ya'll think. Should I be worried about these areas? Thank you!!

Yes, these are normal signs on less-structured épi bags. It happens less often on more structured bags like the Alma, but you see it on Noé in épi for example. It comes from the natural movement of the leather.
