I am still waiting for my Honey mini crossbody....it says it in Seattle at the distribution center since the 19th...hope it starts miving soon!

Oh no! Hopefully it will suddenly show up. That is what happened with my Oxblood.

I think this cool strap can go with either of these as well as a few others. Funny how just changing a strap can change the look. Love it!

Love that strap! What brand/where can I find one?

It says SHIRALEAH and then Chicago beneath it. It is really cool.

It is snowing on and off here today but decided to test drive my large circle bag my brother bought me. I have to say I love it.

That is lovely! What does the inside look like - any lining, or pockets at all?

It is Leather the same inside as the mini , kind of suede . It does however have big slip pocket inside as well as the outside slip pocket.

Has anyone had any issues with an odor when they first get the bag? I can smell leather but it’s covered in an oil and chemical smell. I hoped it would be better once it was unboxed a few days but it’s not. It’s so pungent that I can smell it from 20 feet away. I just wonder if this is normal. Do the pebbled leather have the same issue or is just the smooth? Can anyone give me any feedback? TiA!

My mystery bag smelled like nice leather smell. Like a saddle, if that is a good description...

(Edited) I see that was already answered...I am late with my reply. LOL.

No worries! I appreciate the input. Mine didn’t smell like that. Wish it had! Lol

Today I'm carrying the PLG Crossbody Tote. I've had this sitting new and unused in my closet since early this year!

I know this was already answered, but I'm throwing in anyhoo. I've ordered quite a few bags and accessories from PLG over the last few years. None of them have ever had any type of chemical or other odd smell. Just straight up leather, like a saddle shop.

Thanks for your input! I must have got one from a bad/stronger smell batch because it definitely was not a leather or a saddle smell (been around horses most of my life). PLG Representative I spoke to said they use a combination of wax, oil and resin and that this happens sometimes where the smell of those products is stronger in some batches than others. Like someone else here mentioned, they also said the smell wouldn’t really diminish over time. I loved the bag otherwise so I’m trying to decide if I want to risk another one. Thanks again!

Did you return it? They said it wouldn't diminish. So strange because I am hyper sensitive to smell and mine that had an odor is now very slight. Sorry it was such a disappointment for you.
