The chemical odor was so strong, I soaked it in the sink with Dawn, washed it in the washing machine, soaked it in water with baking soda, and sprayed it with Febreeze before I could stand it. The good news is that it held up well with all the washing (except for the color leeching.)Cute lunch bag. The rose gold color was what I expected, but it is much smaller than expected. I thought our bento box could sit flat in the bag (similar to the containers in the stock pic) but it cannot. If you managed to get it in that way, it’s a struggle to get out, especially for a kiddo. Otherwise it’s good quality and the shoulder strap would be super helpful for handsfree!This insulated bag seems well made. It has a sturdy zipper. You can choose whether to carry it with the handhold or with the (detachable) shoulder strap. The shoulder strap has a comfortable shoulder pad. I just don't like how shiny, glitzy the color is: I'm a senior citizen and not much into bling.I purchased this bag over others specifically because it had a strap, but there was no strap with it when I received the lunch bag (hence the 3 star rating). Otherwise, I am happy with the lunch bag and love that it can expand and collapse. Would really like for the company to reach out and send a strap as I don’t know how to contact them other than writing a review.The neoprene smell was overwhelming, otherwise nice size and made well.Surprised at the price I got this bag. It’s got tons of room and is very pretty. It keeps my items cold and opens up very wide on the bottom.I like the material of it and I like that it is washable but a lil smaller run I was looking for but it works greatThe guys at the office give me a hard time about man purse lunch bag.....I don;t care, I love it!!!
