Himalayan Handmade Silk Tote Bag (India) (shopgirl924, san francisco, 2008-01-09)

The purse was a gift and well received. The purse was just as pictured and the silk fibers beautiful. The best part is helping women in small villages earn valuable income by purchasing it. The only complaint was that the purse has an unpleasant smell. There was a note in the bag saying that it would need to be aired out as it had come over on a long ocean voyage, however don't most imports? We aired it out a week before we gave the gift and it still smelled. The odor was not of the natural silk fibers but was almost a combination of fuel oil and mildew and was quite acrid and unpleasant. I mentioned to the giftee that if the smell did not go away after airing it a bit longer, that we should return it.

Beautiful Silk Bag (Arlene49, Los Angeles, CA, 2008-02-01)

Simply stated, this is a beautiful bag. The picture doesn't do it justice. The colors are rich and vibrant, and it is soft in texture. There was a bit of a musty odor, but after a day or two of airing the odor went away. I bought it as birthday gift for my niece, and she absolutely adores it.

shouldn't have given it away (momathome80634, Greeley, CO, 2008-01-08)

Should have kept it for myself! The colors were beautiful. The craftsmanship was great. It was true to the picture (slight color variation), and of heavier quality than I'd expected. Wish I hadn't given it away for Christmas!

Nice (Chetna, Near Oakland, CA, 2008-01-13)

Really enjoy this Nepalese bag. The fabric and colors are enjoyable. My 4 year old daughter really likes this for me. The one I reeceived wa darker than pictured and I was acceptable to this. Would recommend to a friend.
