Really HORRIBLE chemical smell

I spent a lot of time shopping before I found the simple and uncluttered wallet I needed. And it's made in America, which I like to find when I can - and you know how difficult that can be. The packaging was beautiful and delivery was quick. Yes! Class! One small issue: the wallet is actually 3.75 inches, not 3.5 inches tall - top to bottom. I like the slimmer/shorter wallet that holds US dollars rather than euros or whatever, but I'd keep it if that was the only problem. A big problem: the wallet is completely RIGHT with shoe polish or some kind of chemical solvent. The texture of the skin is more diaper like than "smooth" so I figured maybe it was because of how that surface was made and it would settle. But my god - TWO days out in the sun and fresh air and it stinks to high heaven. It also seems to me that the surface seems to be erased from the hands. I have to wash my hands after touching it to get rid of the smell. Even my cat can't get close to it and is mostly curious (of course...) The surface finish of the diaper also ensures that it won't slide in and out of the back pocket without great effort or without turning the pocket lining inside out. Argh! Kate included a handwritten note in the package thanking me for the purchase and asking me to support her small business by writing a review. I'm sorry Kate, but that was the best I could do. I sent the wallet back and received a refund.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
