Wrinkles In New Leather Wallet At The Fold

[YZDrkY]

Wallet is about a month and a half old (store bought). Used everyday. Are these wrinkles normal? It almost looks like the light colored outer leather was glued to an inner layer and this glue was not dried, and when I opened the wallet it wrinkled.

What do you think? I've never seen a wallet wrinkle like this and am thinking of a return for replacement.

Inside radius and outside radius of the fold are different so something has to give. Usually you notice the bunching up wrinkles on the inside more than the outside. But your outside leather has stretched, so when you open it flat, it wrinkles.

If you make your own wallets, there are techniques to minimize the problem.
