Although I don't have it anymore, my Nelson had the same micro cracks to the white leather straps. Fairly soon after I got it actually (purchased new from Condor). I've always kept the leather nourished with leather dubbin wax, and never had any issues over the years. Fairly certain this is only cosmetic...
tbh this is why I buy second hand carradice bags and not new ones, the leather is three times the thickness on some of the old ones and will never stretch and break
