Toteme belt hobo bag

Does anyone else have this bag and can offer advice?

I’ve ended up making a duplicate purchase to compare the leather on the Toteme belt hobo bag after my first one (left) arrived with big creases.

The 2nd one is much better but still has a slight fold in the leather down the middle. Is this typical in this bag style?

Leather is a natural thing, not man-made, so it’s understandable there are differences. edited to say - they do advertise their leather as pebble grain, which is exactly what this is. The bag on the right looks fine - as you wear it, it will relax and loosen up.

Thanks! Glad it’ll loosen, and looking forward to more of a slouch.

To clarify, the few people on social media who have shared photos of this bag show it to be pebbled but very smooth on the flats of the side. So my question is more about whether the creases like the ones I’ve shown are standard in real life and the smoothness isn’t just a product of instagram/careful editing.

Ah, gotcha.
