Nice bags! Bigger bag was a bit larger than I would have liked, but only because the bigger the bag, the more stuff I carry. I LOVE that the medium bag snaps in, and I can pull it out and wear cross body to go shopping without toting in the big bag. The medium bag has a very handy zipper pouch attached through the middle, which means I can section the few things I want to carry in it (my wallet, phone, etc)  Even with the medium bag snapped into the larger one, I still have plenty of room for my other million things I feel I must carry and still have room.  I will use the shoulder strap on the medium bag, but I can also fit the larger bag over my shoulder with just the handles...handy!! The little pouch is really a bit worthless (in my opinion) and I doubt I'll use it, but the other 2 are great. The chemical smell was expected, but not bad enough to say this is a bad set. I love that it came with a dust bag to store it in later also. Love the color, the material of the bags does not look cheap and looks easy to clean. I'm happy with my purchase.
