I am not sure but...I think it is the dye on new leather. Still like the bag.

Other reviews talked of a "strange odor". My bag (that I like very much) had no such odor.

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I didn't notice an odor. When you get it, let it sit opened up for a day , if that's a concern.

I don't smell it anymore, and I don't remember it being an issue for long. I have migraines, so I am sensitive to odors. It has not been a problem for me.

I don't know how to describe it, since I tend to get mattresses with scents (the kind that keep on purpose, like aloe or something); but I do notice another smell the first day after putting it down and pressing my nose against it. It's gone in less than a week, maybe less, without me doing anything at all to get rid of it.

I'm not sure what the chemical odor is, but it eventually goes away (after a few months!).

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

Mine does, so I'm pretty sure yours will, too. Put a few laundry sheets in with your laptop to get rid of the smell. It does go away, but after months!

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

To be honest, I've had this for over 2 years now. When the smell went away, I have no idea. However, it is gone now and I love it.

I don't notice the smell and I cannot remember if I did even in the beginning. It may be that it is in a large enough space that the smell is diffused or it has just gone away.

I suppose it is like a new car - the "new chair" odor will disappear with time. I did not notice a strange objectionable odor. I was more concerned about the stability and functioning of the chair, which I found to be excellent.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

No, there should not be an odor. Something must be wrong with the particular item you purchased. I would send it back and ask for an exchange. I have never noticed any odor at all and I have used it for years. Good luck!
