Customer #1: Hi, my girlfriend bought me a grey knife backpack through Amazon as a gift, but I was wondering if I could exchange it for the black one instead? When I saw the backpack in person, I was starting to get a little worried as it may stain more quickly and the stains will show more on the grey than the black one, so maybe the black color would be better. I'd like to know if it would be possible to exchange for the other color and how I would do so through Amazon. Thank you.
