Wrinkled Nylon... Le Pliage?

I just got a Black Le Pliage (Nylon), from Sands Point, and it's quite wrinkled. Although it was neatly folded when it arrived, unfolded, it looks sort of like it was wadded up for a little while. I have the same in Navy, (also from SP), and it was just a bit wrinkled from being folded, but the worst of the wrinkles smoothed out with a little use. Is the Black one flawed, or will it actually look nicer after I've used it more?

I would think it will look ok after you use it for a while. I'll say that the last LP I bought was black and it feels thinner/flimsier than all of my other colors and I could see it wrinkling more easily.

That's funny...the Black one seems thicker than the Navy. I thought maybe that's why the wrinkles weren't working themselves out. Hmm..:P

I just emailed Sands Point Shop, and asked for their advice. My Navy is so perfect. I cant help but think there's something not right about this Black one. Since I'm still in the return window, perhaps I can just exchange it for another Black....

Could you try to steam it?

Also you could try washing it- I've washed mine inside a pillow case on the delicate cycle and they looked good as new.

I agree with Candy, and I have washed 4 of my LP in the washer also, on delicate cycle using Woolite. I put them on a hanger by the strap to dry and they come out fine. But the wrinkles also seem to disappear with frequent use.

Perhaps I should try that...The leather trims and straps turn out okay?

Yes they turn out fine. I have had no problems with the straps or flap. After it completely dried, I put Apple Guard Conditioner on the leather straps and flap, to keep the leather from drying out in the future. I also spray by LP bags with Apple Guard Rain & Stain Repellent!

You're very welcome!!! Also, you might want to call Sandspoint and ask if they would exchange it since it arrived very wrinkled. Which means it possibly was a return. I ordered the black LLH LP a few months ago from Nordies and it was folded, but not wrinkled.

I did email Sands Point, but in the meantime, I've about decided to exchange it.

Thank you, everyone, for your input, much appreciated! :woohoo:
I got a reply from Sands Point, and I'm exchanging the bag. I'm fairly new to Longchamp...I've had three experiences with Sands Point Shop, and have always found them to be most accommodating.
