Great bag!!!! The smell can be handled
What a cool bag! I love that Amazon has actual artisans on here. So let’s address the smell and how I got rid of of it. This bag did smell a little chemically at first but as the letter said that faded with use. The problem was that a sweet poop smell came after that and I couldn’t wear it for like a week. I was reading that baking soda can help remove smells and airing it out specifically in sunlight helps. So I actually took the arm & hammer pet order carpet powder (pictured), put the bag in a medium box, sprinkled it all over the outside of the bag, closed up the box and left it over night. The next day I put it out side in the sun and let it sit there for most of the day. This really worked and I could wear it again. The smell started creeping back a couple times but I just placed it back in the box with the powder over night and boom! It’s all good. I haven’t had to put in back in the box for a few weeks now. It smells faintly of leather now and looks and functions fantastically! I’m glad I was able to deal with the smell because I LOVE this bag!
