Hmmm...that crease would probably annoy me. Great price though! Hopefully others might have tips on how you could get that crease out.

Thanks for being honest. I feel that way too (even though it hurts)... It was a final sale, so I hope they exchange.
I would definitely try to exchange it. I don't think it would go away and since it's in front it's very noticeable.
Thanks! This is my second Little Minka, too.
Thanks!I have loved this bag since it debuted!Especially the pale blue and neutral beige~~~!
It is a great color. Thanks.

Same here...
I posted this in another thread as well, but thought it could be beneficial here as well. I kept my 'creased' Little Minka and decided to try to remove the crease using a method I found online. It worked! Here's what I did (and the "After" photos).
1) I removed paper stuffing and over-stuffed it with fluffy hand towels. Especially focusing on puffing out the area where the crease was. I also stuffed a smaller folded towel inside the front flap, where the crease began on top.
2) I conditioned the leather with Kate Spade leather conditioner.
3) I hung the handbag on the door hook inside the bathroom (a large hook where I normally hang my robe).
4) I turned on the water in the shower as hot as I could handle on my skin. Then closed the door and window, with the handbag inside the bathroom, and showered for 10-15 minutes. (Obviously you can do this without taking a shower, but I live in California and don't want to waste water so I did). 15 minutes of steam is what was recommended in the article I read, by the way.
5) After my shower (and drying off) I immediately 'smoothed' the crease out with my hands. I did this from the inside of the handbag, focusing on the area where the crease was-- and then from the outside as well. Then I left the towels inside and hung it in my closet for 2-3 days.
Voila! Here are the results:

Thanks! I'm so glad it worked. Funny thing is, I left the tag attached, just in case (and tucked it inside the bag). Whew!
