Needs to be aired out for a while but worth it!
I was skeptical upon delivery because the tanning oil smell was very pungent.... A tad too disagreeable for my taste. I removed the packaging and let it air out outside for almost 2 weeks while I tried to figure out what to do with it. Luckily the airing out worked and the smell had vanished by a month later. The leather was pretty stiff upon arrival but softened up and darkened very nicely after kneading and use. If you're willing to give it a chance and a little work this is a perfect light duty bag for the money.
