There is a comment on the leather smell! Of course all leather has a particular smell, but how bad is the smell?!

Not bad at all! I had no issues with an overpowering smell and I love the bag!

Only the straps are partial leather and there is no smell. Unless of course you put your nose up to the strap then you may smell leather. Great bag. I put my nikon with 2 lens and my fuji x100s plus chargers for both .

I got this and didn't notice a smell. It's a great bag but a little larger than I wanted but that's good if you want to pack more lenses and small tripod.

There was a slight odor. It really didnt bother me. Perhaps time or maybe set outside in the fresh air. Good Luck!

You are very welcome, I think you will be satisfied with the results of this product. It is very touchy to attempt to clean leather, I feel comfortable at least trying to clean it with this product. I cleaned my new husbands leather recliner that was about five years old and it looked great when I was done, in fact I was just looking at it today thinking I should do it again now that I have started my spring cleaning. <3

It's not leather, but it is soft. Probably easier to clean than leather. No smell at all with mine.

The quality of the leather is excellent, it's the zipper that has a low quality. I hope this helps, be blessed

It feels like real leather, but I really don't think it is. It doesn't have the smell like really leather has.

It does have a smell, kinda sour and considering that it contains humic acids, common in composted or fermented products, I can understand, but no it doesn't smell like rotten meat, that is a distinct smell and if yours does then you may have a problem ;D

There is a slight odor if you have your nose up to the bottle. It smells like leather, no chemical smell.

They're very much synthetic leather. Hence why they smell like plastic death when you first get them. No way you can get genuine leather at this price.

I don't have the packaging labels anymore, but it looks, feels, and smells like leather! Didn't taste it. ;)

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

Yes I think so. Smells like leather, but there is some good imitation stuff out there. I've use it a lot and it has held up well. I had to buy more paper for it. Doesn't come with much. I hope this helps

I'm not sure what you got. It must be fake because mine smells and feels like fine leather. I love it. If you bought it here on Amazon I would return it.

Hey A-Aron - mine has no such odor! I am very sensitive to such things - I think you should exchange it for another pair. It's a great case!

Its not real leather, and it doesnt get dirty. I guess that depends on the color.

I did notice an odor. Part of it was from the packaging. Part of it was from the materials the bench was made from. However I went ahead and assembled it and after a couple of days I didn't even notice the smell any longer. It had dissipated. Come to think about it the smell is pretty common from products made in China. If you have a very sensitive nose this may or may not be an issue.

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...
