Review on Vintage Leather Messenger Bag for Men, 15.6-17.3 Inch Laptop Briefcase Satchel, Large School and Work Bag by Rubeen Black

Two stars for style, size and compartment organization. However, this bag had a terrible smell inside. I've tried the baking soda trick, airing and time. Nothing worked. I contacted the seller and they said to give it time, it's probably because it was out of stock. I've given it three weeks but I don't think the smell can be eliminated in time. It's not a musty smell. I don't even know how to describe the smell, the closest thing I can come up with is the smell of cat urine, very strong and disgusting. I would never put anything valuable in this bag for fear it would smell like it. I didn't see any other reviews mentioning the bad smell so maybe I just bought the lemon. That's a pity, because I like the look and size of the bag, as well as the outer material. It looks solid and has large compartments for organization. I thought about reordering the same bag, but this purchase left an unpleasant smell in my nose and I was afraid to try again.
