Hello everyone! I recently purchased a preloved Lindy 26 in black Clemence leather, and it’s in great condition except the shoulder strap and handles have a slight perfume scent to it. Ugh! It’s not an offensive smell, but I am sensitive to scents and I could smell it as soon I as opened the package.
I’m wondering if this smell can naturally go away with time? Are there ways to remove the scent from Clemence leather? Has anyone tried? I did a search already on the purseforum and saw that it is difficult to remove perfume scents from leather in general. Please direct me to the right thread if there is an existing one. And lastly, should I return the bag and keep hunting?
Besides that I think the bag is gorgeous, and I’m definitely adding a Lindy 26 in my collection!
Thanks to all in advance!
