The Darlington Fringe Crossbody was adorable! Perfect size, great suede…fringe was fun and sassy…great zipper, and strap. When the first one arrived, the odor was very strong. It wasn’t the great smell of suede or leather… because I love those aromas… but rather a very pungent chemical odor. It literally stunk up the entire room. I loved the purse and thought that with it being out of the box and plastic bag the smell would go away or at least neutralize but no such luck. I even hung it outside in the fresh air to see if that would help, but unfortunately, the strong odor remained. I retuned it and had a great experience with customer service (Katlyn assisted me…OUTSTANDING and efficient customer experience!!). I received a new one… and if still had that awful odor…however this one wasn’t as strong as the original purchase. I kept it a few days to see if the odor would minimize but again, no luck. I returned it yesterday. I was told that it could have been the spray protectant that is applied to the purse. Just sad…because it was perfect in every other way!
