I bought the bag on April 1, 2014. Now the lock was broken as early as 6 1/2 months. I had bought the bag at the company Bags & More. I have complained about the damage: "One of the magnetic locks the bag is broken attached two pictures with the defect, the intact closure is twice as high and with depression..." In response I received on 11/04/2014 clock by the company Bags & More back: "Hello, thank you for your email We as dealers give guarantee this will come into force if an item from the beginning has to a shortage This can here... not be the case if the article was already over 6 months in use and was free of defects. This case falls under normal wear and tear, we can not be as warranty case. If this were to happen in the first few weeks, it would be clear but after more than 6 months and no longer. Regards Team Bags & More, The answer is in my view an insult. With such a high-quality bag so must not already break a metal fastener in normal use. Even insolent I found answer to the Company Bags & More attention to my complaint. I can only recommend it further customer distance from the product and a purchase of the company Bags & More take.
