Cheaply made and really smells.

I bought this to use in my travel watercolor art kit so the flask and the cups will work fine for that. I shook the flask pretty hard and there were no leaks. I also filled the cups with water and let them sit for about two hours...again no leaks so why not 5 stars then? The leather does not feel or smell or look like leather, at least any leather I have seen and since the description says leather I feel that is misleading. It is very thin, cheaply made and sown. I don't think the snaps that keep the cups in place will last anytime at all and omg the smell! I have gotten things from China in the past that smell just like this, like diesel fuel. Unfortunately in my experience this doesn't go away as it is a chemical compound used in the making of the item. I tried using my very good smelling leather milk cleaner, it worked for a few minutes and then once the cleaner was dry it once again smelled like diesel. I will keep it since the flask and cups work as I want them to and two collapsible cups allows for a dirty and a clean paint water but I am disappointed in both the quality and most of all the smell of this item so I wouldn't buy it again.
