The Bag is amazing, I had to laugh about the smell. I read a lot about the smell and sure enough, everyone is right about the strong smell. I've sprayed Febreze and hung it in my car port for a weekend and it still smells. I would give it a 5, but the smells makes its a 4.

This purse has a fishy smell to it and I have had to air it out since delivery yesterday.  I also sprayed the inside with Lysol and perfume.  The smell is getting better.  Other than that it seems like a pretty good purse.  Wanted something to wear with jeans or sweatpants on the weekends and this purse seems like it's a perfect fit for casual looks.  Don't expect to carry this purse upon arrival unless you can endure the odor.

It has a funny smell on the inside, but the bag itself is so cute i hardly care. It comes in a nice kinda protective rucksack and the 'leather' is so smooth! I wouldnt recommend putting anything too heavy in it, if its anything like another bag ive purchased it will easilly fall apart

I absolutely love this bag. Perfect colors for Seahawks game days and lots of room for storage. My one complaint (I knew this might be a problem when I bought it but hey, it's an awesome bag) it does smell kinda fishy. I solved this with an entire box of fabric softener, lol just kidding I sprayed some scent killer in it and used a few dryer sheets. Smells ok now but it isn't like I bury my nose in my purse all the time either. The smell is the only reason I gave 4 stars if it wasn't for that it would be perfection.

Smells weird. Not a shoulder bag. Besides those, I love it. It's my new found love. And the removable mid section is awesome. It's like two bags in one.

The bag STINKS very bad!!! Why is there a buckle that opens nothing?  I put a bounce sheet in it to help with the smell.  Other than that I do like the bag.

I cannot for the life of me pinpoint exactly what this smell is but the inside of the bag reeks. And I've had this nag for 2 months or so now. And it looks great but it just ... awful. Like noxious fumes. I don't understand why it won't go away.

The bag itself is great. Fits all of my stuff, including my boxing gloves easily. My only complaint is the bag had a really terrible smell out of the package. I've washed it several times with oxy clean and detergent, and the smell hasn't quite dissipated.

I love the size of this tote. I often find myself having to pack my laptop among other things for flights-- and this serves as an ideal "personal item" (purse) for me. It's got a zipper closure and a very spacious interior. I only gave it 4/5 stars for now because it has a disgusting smell (like very potent plastic). I have set it out to air it out.. I hope the smell goes away.

The bag is lovely, very stylish but it smells damp!  I am trying to remove the musty odor with Febreze.  It is upsetting for a Tumi bag and have to smell like a damp basement!

this is a cute little bag but.....it smelled horrible! i still cannot get the smell out and to make matters worse i left a mint in it and the mint smelled like it had absorbed the smell and the bag the mint smell and now it smells funky. Dont get me wrong i love the purse, other than the smell i loved it!

I love this bag but it had a terrible, odd smell!  I rarely write reviews, but I have had this bag for almost a month and cannot get the smell out!  Yes, I did wait too long to return it, but I have traveled with this bag for a month and actually washed it when I got home, but still it has a very odd odor.  In fact, my entire suitcase smelled like it when it was packed away.  Don't know what the problem is, but I am very disappointed.

The bag itself is great.  My only problem is that it arrived smelling VERY musty.  It's like it was sitting in an old storage unit for a while.  Had to Lysol it and place sachets in it.

I LOVE this bag! I only have one complaint. It smelled really funny. Kind of a "new" smell but not pleasant, smells like a strong plastic or chemical smell. Not quite sure how to describe it. But I got rid of the smell by placing some cotton balls in it with essential oils on them. After about a day or two it was mostly gone. So, If it weren't for the smell, I would have given this 5 stars. The look and quality is great and the construction is very well made. The material looks like a better quality with a nice feel as well. It's attractive and very functional. My Dell 2 in 1 fits perfectly and there is room for cord, mouse and paperwork without being bulky. I don't use the shoulder strap but it seems sturdy enough if I ever did need it. I would recommend this bag. Just be prepared to air it out. Not sure why it had such a strong odor.

Love the bag looks great just as it appears, but still can't use  it (after over 2 months) because the smell is soooooooo strong.  At this point its pretty much unusable going to see if Amazon will help with this.  I would really like to keep but....we will see what they say.

I give the bag three stars due to the quality of the item and the fast shipping.  However, be warned.  The bag smelled strongly of fish and needed to be washed a handful of times, aired out, and febreezed for a week before the strongest of the scent dissapated.

This is a really cute set and I love that it comes with three pieces (tote, shoulder bag, change purse). The size was perfect for me, I used the tote as my carry on and it held my 12 inch laptop, kindle fire, and smart phone. I received several unsolicited compliments...however, don't get too close because the bag stinks horribly! I thought it would air out after a little bit, but I was wrong. I feel sorry for the person sitting next to me on the plane, because every time I opened the bag a big puff of stink would billow out. Had it not stunk, or even if the smell would have worn off, I would have given this a much better rating
