The bag has slightly smelled of neoprene when unpacking, but the smell dissipated after a few hours. The bag has inside a soft lining so that the laptop does not get scratches. The material is a little harder than I thought, but still light and still pliable. What I like very much the pattern, which was not cheap but really it printed sewn. The zipper is not binding and it is not afraid that this just like that, on first use of drops. I am anyway a huge fan of vintage and bohemian look, the reason I have in my pocket not hesitate to buy them. For size, I can only say that a MacBook Pro 15 inch pure fits perfectly. But you have to be careful, because the substance of the case is not very expanded because of neoprene and therefore not fit all laptops, so looking at the page again for the measurements and compares these with your laptop.
