Review on Urban Dezire Leather Backpack Rucksack by Tina Stamey

If you can stomach the initially stronger leather smell then this is quite a unique backpack. If anyone knows about leather tanning you will understand why. I have it to store a 17" laptop and an 11x17 clipboard and it works great. I added some foam to increase protection which luckily I have done with other bags. To get rid of the odor, which will take a while, and to speed things up with some elbow oil and a 24-hour soda bath in a large garbage bag. It really helped with the smell in the bag. Then I used leather conditioner. After these steps, the smell was slightly stronger than a regular retail store bought recently. Leather. I think this leather smell lasts for months without intervention. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's what I need and it looks like it will work great compared to the cost.
