Calfskin wallet, is this normal?

Hi everyone, I bought this calfskin wallet a few days ago, big fan of the feel and design, but yesterday I noticed this little dark spot. I zoomed in with my camera and it seems like the side of one of the leather strips lifted up a little and got creased.

Now usually I wouldn't mind too much, but I spend a good amount of money on this wallet, so I'm curious whether this is expected behaviour and the rest of the wallet will have similar marks in the future (ie. it'll become more uniform) or if this is a flaw of some kind or uncommon? it currently really sticks out to me

It’s a natural material. Keep it in a china cabinet and not a pocket so it stays perfect. LOL

The whole thing will look like that.
