[Nikalette]

I received the yellow and blue ones today. For those who are wondering what the stench is, it is the new lining which is smelling chemical. Just pull out the dust bag and take a whiff. The leather doesn't smell. The crossbody strap is really long, but I like that...I'm 5'6 and it is at least low hip length, so might be way too long for more petite ladies. The flapping long strap...the difference form shortest to longest hole is about 4 inches, so it is only a couple of inches difference. Now the short strap can be made longer, long enough to fit comfortably over the shoulder. Anyway, the bag is smaller than I thought..the problem with quick sell outs is not being able to see the bag on a model. It has quite a few pockets for storage, and although I love big bags, I don't carry that much, so I may keep them for walks, shopping, movies...etc. it would easily fit into the TSV tote. I think something in the process of changing the lining color caused the smell...maybe they didn't let the cloth dry long enough. I'm leaching all the pockets and the bag open for a couple of weeks to see if it dissipates.

I really dislike the new lining so if it smells too, well, I guess there won't be anymore oryany bags coming my way.
