Review on Piel Leather Buckle Flap Backpack Saddle by Joseph Swanson

I have all three backpacks: black, camel and brown. I've had Brown for over 6 years now with a laptop and some books. He has held up fantastic. The only reason for 3 stars is that I received the black buckle today and there is oxidation/rust on all 3 buckles which seems far from normal for this product as others have arrived with no problems. Disappointed, yes, especially for the $$$ paid. These are stunning bags made from thick and soft leather. Very durable and well finished except for the oxidation error I got. Hopefully they check their products on the shelf from time to time or implement a good quality process.
