Yes mine smell petrolly too- it is the dyes (I bought a cheap tablecloth from Egypt with exactly the same smell).

Hoping a few days hung outside will make them less smelly.

Mine have been outside for about 5 days now (mainly hanging on the washing line when it's dry) and they still stink. I was expecting a bit of a smell, but not this bad.

We love sea salt, off to have a look. I just wish that there boys clothes went up to a bigger size, they are great and good value in the sales.

Not coming up free delivery for me, any ideas?

Edit, just saw date of first post, obviously I missed the free delivery

Oh dear. Mine arrived and smell too, and that's what I was intending to do. I've just googled but haven't found anything that is a good solution. It seems that poor quality jute gives off the smell of kerosene. I'm rather sad that Seasalt have chosen to go for this; I've bought this type of bag before from other suppliers and never had this problem. I'm now waiting to see if any MSE-ers have a solution!

I bought quite few of these bags last time round and the smell was really strong. I opened the plastic packing bag they came in, but theft them in there a few days - the smell wore off, a few days more and the whiff was completely gone! They are gorgeous bags, really strong and excellent sizes
