Just got mine. Seems very sturdy and solidly made.After reading the reviews I already knew about the dye rubbing off on everything as well as the odor the bag has out of the wrapper. So first thing I did was throw it in the washing machine by itself and ran it on two fast cycles. On the second cycle, during the rinse stage I threw in two cups of salt (learned that for cotton fabrics salt sets the dye). Afterwards no more odor and dye seems to have set and not rub off on anything.I got this as a everyday bag for totting aroun my laptop when I don't want to lug around my laptop case with EVERYTHING in it. Just for laptop, maybe power cable and few small items to run around with.Will provide updates over time, but so far happy with my purchase.
