Sorry
I can see it easily! I have the reverse and hope I never have a problem with it!!! Like you, an exchange will no doubt be impossible. The only thing I can think of to fix it, is can they reglaze that area? I would certainly ask, you have nothing to lose. I am sorry you are having to deal with this. Quality control really needs to up their game!!!!! The bag is gorgeous!!!! Congrats and good luck!
