Su-lee Ling Two things: Point 1: The post-curing smell of the bag-being vegetable tanned [I found this-when I went to return it bcoz of this odour- but found you cannot return a pre-order].. I left my bag outside hanging on my clothes rack, but not getting rained on. The smell dissipated
after a full week or slightly more.
Point 2: The underside material of the shoulder strap: it's a copy grosgrain style of material- but polyester I am sure. I do not like it. Why do that>..? Why not just double side the leather-it seems nice and thin and interfacing [suitable to the functional needs] could have been inserted.
I am getting used to it-but quite frankly- it looks ugly, and to me spoils the aesthetic of this cute bag, and sure- it makes it ‘lighter’ in weight…But mere grams and Id prefer the visuals of a regular full leather strap.
Hi Su-Lee,
Thank you so much for your order and feedback.
Glad to hear the smell of your bag dissipated after a week of airing. We do talk about the smell of veg-tanned leather in depth on our website, as it's something we want our new customers to be aware of. This earthy odour is a well known characteristic of naturally cured leather. We recommend both airing and simply using your bag ~ when the leather is used, it softens and the smell is released. After a couple of weeks of using the smell will be gone completely.
We choose to reinforce all of our adjustable straps with nylon as this ensures that the straps are durable and pass the test of time. We found that using only leather straps meant they were susceptible to wear and tear and eventually needed repairs. We try and show both top and underside of the straps in the images on the product page on our website.
I hope this clarify's why we've chosen to design the bags this way.
Regards, Dom

Julie Saunders I love everything about the bag but mostly you have given consideration to the strap with reinforcement so it doesn’t lose its shape . Great size and just enough room for what I need

Mr Joseph Michalowski Love the easy access compartments, with the long strap, and soft leather. LLO love all your versatile bags you have to offer to the consumer. Keep on bringing out all the great products. You’ve won me over as a long term purchaser xxx

Christina Miletic I’ve got this beauty in the tan colour and I’m absolutely in love! It’s the perfect size to fit all of my essentials and the leather is so soft. The strap is also adjustable which helps all those who are vertically challenged (like me!)
Thanks LLO for making this great product x
