I just got a Cambridge Tote in Plum, I love it...except I noticed that the hardware, including the metal hangtag show what looks like a peeling or tarnishing of the metal? Is this normal? I know that it is suppose to be a distressed look, but does anyone else that owns this bag have the same issue? I'm hoping it's not defective! Thanks for any input.:smile1:

I think I know what you're talking about, but can you post pictures? I got the large cambridge clutch in plum and the hardware is for the plum bags is called "amber" which has a matte look to it and is a bit darker than the gunmetal hardware on my navy cambridge satchel. When I bought my clutch (with the amber hardware) I noticed the floor model's hang tag had funky spots all over it, almost like it was... oxidizing?

The one I got also had this (didn't check til I got home -doh!) So I took it back and they ended up exchanging it with the hangtag from a black clutch with the gunmetal hardware because all the plum clutch's hangtags were like that. I think it's the way the amber hardware is treated. If you look at ebay auctions for the cambridge collection you'll see lots of tags with those funky spots on them.

I had the Cambridge plum zip-top tote and it had the same thing, and all the other ones I saw had it, too. IMO it fits the look of these bags - like Peggle said, it looks "distressed." You have a lovely bag!
