They do look beautiful, but I have a couple of hopefully constructive comments:
I'd go with double straps and no dowel in the lid for these reasons: 1. Severly overstuffing will round out the bag, and the dowel in the lid will make the lid fit poorly. 2. I doubt these straps will ever break, but you never know, and if you have 2, 1 will still work. I also support symmetrical reflective stripes and blinky loops. Hopefully these panniers will see some world touring duty, and there are quite a few other countries where people ride on the left (Thailand, S. Africa, etc.). On second thought, save a few bucks and lose the blinky loops. Much better to put your blinky on the bike frame or rack, where you can make it point exactly where you want it to.
