Bag quality is surprisingly nice.  Leather is soft, stitching is of good quality and the design is good.  BUT - there is such an OVERWHELMING "gas" or petroleum smell to the bag that I am tempted to return it.  I am letting it air out in my basement because it is too offensive to bring into the house.**** UPDATE*** after letting the bag air out for a week the smell went away.  My daughter LOVES the bag!  Great size, nice feel to the leather, looks great!
