Great leather BUT IT WILL BREAK!

Purchased 16th June 2018. Now on 14th May 2018. So far.1) The first thing that needed replacing (after 2 months) was the stitching around the ends of the main zip. The zipper has no stopper. When that happens, it opens fully. It took quite a while to rezip and align the zipper properly. I was able to fix it and then put stops on each end to prevent it from happening again. That's something that would cost a penny. 2) It was fixed at the same time as the zipper. The straps on the pockets do not prevent them from opening. The first 2 months it was unbearable! My stuff was CONSTANTLY falling out of three bags. I paid to add a stud and hole for hanging the strap to prevent my stuff from being pulled out and lost. I ended up just cutting off the straps on the sides. "Click" was useless. 3) The lining, which appeared to be nylon, has started to peel away from the skin. The laptop bag began to unravel at the seams. I never fixed it. Every leather shop I've taken it to has asked for more than a backpack to fix. This happened about 6 months later. 4) MAIN ZIPPER had problems with this test. Seams divided, stuck in nylon, divided on the inside. The zip came loose behind the tab etc. About a week ago it failed completely, a tooth fell out and many more were lost or bent when trying to zip up after the back came loose due to the stitching throughout zipper fell apart. The zipper broke and in most places it cost about $200 to replace the zipper. This backpack is exactly what I want, but MANY little issues are keeping me from buying it again. The leather is of excellent quality but there are too many other issues. Hope that helps. I was looking for a new backpack. I hope the next one doesn't have these problems. I probably won't find A ZIPPER.3)
