this is a nice bag, but it smells awful. i even washed it TWICE and can't get the smell out. it's not a mothball smell, but smells like some chemical similar to gasoline or a cleaning fluid....it's weird. i've had this issue in the past from shoes i've purchased online that were made in China, but this is the first time i get this same smell from a handbag! it's too inexpensive to send back, i'll keep trying to wash it......

will not buy stuff anymore online that has any comments about bad smells!
