Steve 2 I just received the bag.The bag itself is great, spacious and look exactly like in the picture which is nice.However you have to know that upon receiving it, the bag have a terrible chemical smell coming and it is absolutely HORRIBLE. It cannot stay inside the house as it is so strong and bad smell.I left it in the balcony for 24hours, and the smell is still there ... horrible.It never happened to me to have that strong smell in leather product before, which means there is a problem or it is NOT real leather.I am considering returning it at the moment or if I tried to wash it with specific products.In any case it is a hassle so I am very disappointed, its a shame cause the bag is great..
