I agree with LJ, if airing it out doesn't dissipate the smell, return it.I love the squeaky leather handles, just what good leather does. 
As for the smell, try airing it out for a few days and if that doesn't do it completely then you could try aquarium charcoal. I bought a bag off of EBay that had a horrible perfume smell and after trying everything I tried the charcoal. Bought a jar of the loose stuff and poured (carefully) into a small dish and sat it in the bag and it has just about cured the odor. But of course, I had to take drastic measures as I was stuck with the bag but in your case you could always just return it.

I bought the bag on ebay[emoji31]. I will try airing it out
I think its just a really strong leather smell
Thanks
No smell with my Chelsea's, however, I did have a strong leather smell with my pre-loved Natural Clayton. At the time, I didn't think it was leather but when I wore it to work, the girls said... "Wow that bag smells good". Lol. It didn't smell very good to me. I have squeaky handles on most all my bags.
