I bought this to replace a black Aisling bag that I loved. I had the black one for about a year, then the top zipper started to be a problem. The fabric near the zipper, at the curved area, started to tear, which then made the zipper catch in the loose fabric. The bag is still in great condition, but can't be used now. The Kipling warranty is one year, and I am just over the year. I'm not sure if it would cover this zipper issue. I was reluctant to replace it with the same style, but I took a chance and ordered another Aisling. The photos don't show the curved ends, so I thought maybe Kipling had modified the zipper. The new one I ordered has the same curved end on the zipper, so I'm not sure if I will keep it. I may switch to the Angie, which is slightly smaller but has a straight zipper across the top. Seems too expensive to only last a year, and I think this could be a flawed feature with the zipper. I have attached a photo. It's not that it looks bad, but the zipper catches in the hole/frayed area.
