I posted a while back about the bad luck I had getting DD a GILI bag that wasn't defective. And I posted that I had ordered this one, keeping my fingers crossed! It came. We both checked it over VERY carefully! She noticed right away that the hardware joining the strap to the bag was ONE piece, instead of two pieces glued together. She has been carrying it for about a week now, and she loves it! I'm so glad we finally found one that wasn't defective! She loves the color, which was the color of the others she received. So I'm happy too!
The other thread has closed for comments, which is why I started this one. I told Krissie I would post when it came!
