The bag looks and feels just as described. However, there was no mention of the offensive odor. I put the bag in a well-circulated spot in my basement for two weeks, with odor-removing charcoal bag. There is still a strong musty smell which triggers my allergies. I cannot use the bag.
This product is really good, shown as in description. Made of natural cow leather, quality is very high. Recommend this seller and his store!
