There are some marks on the outside of the bag included in the photos they are light and hard to capture on camera Good preowned condition review photos for flaws, a smoker did own this bag so if you are sensitive to those kinds of smells this one probably isn’t for you! Updating to add: the smell is not super strong. I treated briefly with an ozone machine - I just disclosed for anyone who may have an allergy or extra sensitive nose. If anyone were on the fence thinking it’d come smelling to high heaven that is not the case!
