Does your Lambsin smell?

[pws22]

HI ladies..

Firstly.. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YR!! wish everyone has a wonderful year ahead of you

about my question.. Lately I have noticed.. if i havnt use my lambskin tote or jumbo flap for awhile.. when i take them out from the box and dustbag.. I can smell the leather has a bit of a "sour" smell.. does that happen to you??

and does anyone know why??
will it be becos it has been air-ed after it has been used?

Thanks

lambskin can absorb & retain smell. For example, if people live in smoking homes, the lambskin starts to smell like smoke! I'm not sure about the sour smell--I haven't experienced that with mine- but I only keep them in dustbags- not in the boxes!

Mine never smells strange.
I carry a lamb WoC and always store it back in box wrapped in felt.

There is no smell on my white lambskin, reissue!

Mine is also in a box, and it's wrapped in black felt..........no smell :wondering

Hmmm maybe it is because you haven't aired yours in awhile

Mine has no strange smell either. I store mine in dustbags only, without the box.

Have not had a problem and I store my lambskin tote in the dustbag and in my old apartment it was even in a closet near the kitchen (I know prob not the best idea but you have to take any space you can find in NYC). Try airing it out for a while, maybe put one of those scentless oder absorbing sponges from the hardware store inside?

Mine never smell either. Well, they do smell like leather but that's a great smell.

Mine never smells either... and I never store it in its dustbag
