Default Rigid Locking Leather Saddlebags... leaking

So the old lady got me the HD rigid locking saddlebads for my birthday and I'm kinda bummed because after washing the bike today I found that the insides were a bit wet even though I didn't really blast them much with the hose. On top of that the leather around the locks is bubbling up from the plastic, as if water got underneath and now it's swollen up from the bag.
Has anyone else had the same issues? Will the leather flatten back to it's normal state?

Rigid and locking does not equate to waterproof.
