I had purchased a brown one of these in 2015 and even though it's well worn(I use it now instead of a purse) I love it so decided to buy another this time in black. I was disappointed it wasn't a prime item(I feel safer using prime) I still bought it. It looks amazing but as soon as I took it out of the plastic bag a chemical odor hit me. I wasn't that worried about it because I have purchased clothing and bedding that also had the same type of odor and normally if you let them air out for 24 hours they don't smell anymore. Well not this one. I have had the item for over a week now and had it hanging the whole time and it still smells nasty! I'm so disappointed as I wanted to start using it but I don't want to have the odor insulting my nose as I wear it. If it did not smell or if the smell had dissipated I would have given this item 5 stars like I did the brown one. *SIGH* I still have time left until I have to return it so I'm going to wait a few days more to see if finally the smell will be gone.
