Review on 🍫 LolliBeads (TM) 3mm Genuine Dark Brown Espresso Flat Leather Strip Cord String for Braiding - 5 Yards by Carrie Spencer

MOLD THROUGH PACKAGING.

First, the lace I received was NOT a bundle of glued pieces, but a strip of rawhide. If you're expecting a durable pair of work boot laces, forget it. Buy a pair of strong shoelaces. This item is ideal for hanging pendants and other light jewelry and decorative purposes. Or it would if it didn't smell. And no, airing doesn't help. The smell is mold. Unfortunately, the manufacturer chose to pack and ship it in a sealed plastic bag. Skin, at least elastic skin, has a high moisture content and needs to breathe. Knife makers know that they should never store a blade in a sheath, as the knife will rust and puncture if the sheath loses moisture. Don't even keep a knife and sheath in the same drawer or case. bottom line? Nice light leather strap. Terrible choice of packaging and shipping. I soaked the piece in a solution of alcohol and water and hung it to dry. Let's see if that helps. Update: the lace has dried, the smell is gone, now it smells like leather. I mixed warm water, some hand sanitizer and mouthwash to kill the mold.
