Why Does Summer’s ‘Cutest Handbag’ Smell So Bad!?
If you've ever shopped for anything online, you'll understand that sometimes you're disappointed when you receive the purchase, right?
I'll admit that last week I got sucked into Instagram and started following a bunch of style and fashion blogs. A LOT of those ladies had this handbag, and I fell in love with it because it's simple, and not too clunky.
I bought it. I LOVED how it looked. Then, I got a whiff of something weird... it was like it'd been placed on a grill and smoked. Sure enough, I was right. That's literally what happened when this bag was made.
I was surprised that my bag included a separate tag on it explaining that it was made in Bali and "especially smoked" to give off a tropical vibe. I thought, "well, that explains the weird smell." I've seriously inhaled it one hundred times since it's been in my possession and I can't decide whether I like the smell or not.
Whatever, it's about how the bag looks, right?
