Yes, I thought about that myself. Not too sure how to contact Kipling directly though. I'm also a bit surprised that no-one else has had this problem. I can't believe there are only 2 defective bags in the world and I happened to get sent them both?

It's still in stock (though the price has gone up), but to be honest I've got no confidence that if I order a third it will be any better.

I love the monkey mania but it soo light a colour. Off to look at the other colours.

Blue flower print is nice, but I still like the monkey print.

Well now I'm in a quandry. Received the replacement Farifax from Amazon. I still have the first as I wanted to compare them side by side before deciding which one to return. The replacement is actually worse than the first!

My original moan was about the lining being visible under the seam stitching where the front pocket is stiched on to the main body of the bag... well on the first one it was visible for a couple of inches on both sides of the pocket. On the replacement it's visible right the way down the seam on one side and not at all on the other side.

This one is also made in Bangladesh so I can only assume they are trying to save money and have opened a new factory with really poor quality.

I think I'll end up keeping the first one after all because I do like the colour, but it's disappointing that it has these little issues, like the stitching, also on the front pocket flap on the first one the stitching is tied off in the centre of the flap and also the Kipling badge seems to have a little mark on each side. It's just not up to the quality of previous ones.

Has anyone else bought one recently with these issues? It's the Flash Blue.

That's not good they will soon lose their loyal customer base if quality slips.

Yes, I posted about it earlier in the thread. Mine was in the Expresso Brown, which I returned (although that wasn't why I returned it).

Must have missed your post - sorry! I'll have a look back through the thread now. Was yours also made in Bangladesh?

I don't know, I had already returned it before I saw your post.

I bought the fairfax vintage via amazon and the label says made in china and there's no bag name on it- is it a fake? Just looked at my old bags and these have the name inside some but not all of them (all bought via amazon/javari) and all apart from one other say made in Belgium- hmmm

Just looked at my fairfax kipling which I have had for a year and can see a label but it just says kipling, nothing to say where made. Should there be another label?

Found the label, checked bag against fake guide and its genuine. Says made in china too.
