Hi guys! Here to join the club with this beauty I picked up today 
Really glad I got it as it was the last one in london.... But got home and after inspection I noticed it has this crease / scratch on the inside ... Pretty upsetting when you're spending so much, don't know if it's just that bit of leather or whether it has an actual scratch on it!! I have warmed the leather by rubbing with my finger and it has reduced ever so slightly.
I would normally return but as I knew this was the last one it means I wouldn't be able to get another .. Especially as 2 different SAs told me they were discontinuing these ...
Here's what I mean
At least it's on the inside I guess [emoji17]

Your bag is gorgeous! I'm so happy you got it and I am confident you will Love it! It's such a beautiful, classy bag. I wouldn't worry about the " scratch". Maybe the SA could tell you what you might safely put on it to condition the leather in that area. It almost looks like a slight scratch from a fingernail. I'm a perfectionist and take excellent care of my bags, and I can assure you I wouldn't let that upset me and I'd keep the bag for sure. You will rock this bag! Congrats and enjoy!
Thank you Hun
yes I am feeling better about it...not even sure what it is, could be a deep crease, but yeh it's on the inside so I am over it, I'm pretty sure I have the grainier leather but in the classic .. My tag said 15C but with code A1506. I actually got to see a seasonal one with different code which was bigger in size and personally too big for me! Going to wear this t work tomorrow Thanks for all the help and advice xxx
Based on your pic, I'd definitely say you got the newer ( more grainy) leather. I love this leather on this bag! Mine is the same, I believe. A15206 . I have the gold hardware. My SA owns this bag in both gold and silver because she loves the bag!Thank you Hun

Have you ever tried using meltonian delicate cream polish on your bags? It works wonders as far as taking out these small scratches. I use it on my caviar and lambskin bags and it works so well!! Congrats on getting one of these beauties. The cerf tote is one of my absolute favorite bags
Congrats on getting this bag, such a timeless piece IMO! I really feel that is just a deep crease. I have a similar line on the inside of my cerf tote as well. It's all part of the beauty of natural leather grain! Enjoy and wear it in good health.
I changed it up a bit today & put the gold chain from my golden class flap onto my gh black cerf.

That looks good!! Holding out for a red one some day...
Has the price increased in the UK?
Ooh thanks for that. You did well to find one, can't believe this lovely bag is being discontinued xx
