This bag smelled so bad that I put it out on my porch for a couple days to air it out. After a couple of days, the smell had improved only slightly. I didn't want to put it in my closet, nor would I want to be caught with it on a wet day. I returned it and got a refund minus the postage. So I paid about $8 for a bad smell. I don't know if my particular bag had not been tanned properly or whether they all smell like that. If you're looking to meet an old goat, carry this bag and I'm sure you'll attract one.

I've used this bag nonstop since I bought it about a month ago. I was looking for a compact cross-body bag (one that could look nice in most situations) and I decided to try this out. I like it because it's compact, sturdy, streamlined, and has plenty of pockets. I am a kind of person who always carries some sort of bag, with my whole life crammed into it. I like this bag in part because it forces me to prioritize. Its shape also makes it ride comfortably against my body, whether I wear it on my back or on my stomach. I usually carry my wallet, keys, phone, chapstick, small book or e-reader, other misc items. There's still room for more after all these. I love the abundance of pockets - different sizes and in different places. I counted 7 pockets, not including the main compartment. I think my favorite are the secret pockets that bookend the main compartment. There are also 2 zippered pockets in the main compartment and I haven't found a use for them yet. I think there are a few things that could make this bag better: Lining in a lighter/contrasting color for greater visibility - for example, black leather outer with a light grey or light purple (or any other color) lining, and brown leather with blue, green, or yellow (or a print) lining. Two-way zippers to close the main compartment More colors!
