Hello lovely tpfers

Has anyone had issues with this particular lining smelling unusual? I think the term I found was a crayon smell. If you did, did it go away?

Thank you so much for your help!

On the early releases of the white multicolore line, it is a known "fault" that the glue reacts with the red lining and did lead to the white canvas turning peach on a number of bags. I wonder if the smell then is also linked to this if it has occurred on a number of bags?

I have gotten rid of a number of different smells simply by airing bags outside - this is particularly effective if you can pull the lining outside of the bag but I can't remember whether the lining is glued down or not in the MC Trouville.

Hi - I know exactly what you are talking about regarding the MC line - mine happens to be mono only.

The lining in this bag is supposed to be "washable" I think? I think its more of a travel item so they make it really cleanable, but I think there is a wax or something that they coated it with to make it easily cleanable that makes it smelly lol -

I'm fairly sensitive to smells so I was hoping someone might have had experience with particular issue since it's not a mold or cigarette smell issue.

Thank you so much for your time!

Sorry. Post #3 confused me - thought we were talking about the MC Trouville.

There are a couple of threads somewhere on smell removal - might be worth looking at the suggestions there.

Maybe put a tiny perfume sample paper with a little perfume on it? My preloved trouville has a smell too. It is not that noticeable so I didn't do anything

Thank you beezygal. You are a gem :) its reassuring to know that yours has a slight smell since I think the smell is actually dissipating a bit - I think the previous owner just didn't use her at all. there are definitely worse smells, its just plastic smelling, but i think once its not so strong that it wont bother me :) I will try your idea though! Thank you!

I thought the smell in my bag is from the way the previous owner stored the bag since it is a preloved one. Now that I read ur thread, the smell might really be from the lining. Since my bag is in pretty condition inside and out, the previous owner must baby the bag. :) ur bag will smell like ur favourite perfume.

How do u like your trouville? I love it so much. So cute and not a lot of ppl have it.

Hello!

I LOVE this bag.

I was really concerned about it not fitting over my arm because of past reviews but I can actually wear it with my puffy winter coat let alone my bare arms (I am very short/petite though). I love the shape, the fact that it opens all the way making it so easy to access my stuff. Mine came with a detachable strap for crossbody wear and I am impressed with how nice this bag looks that way.

It holds my necessities and more. I am clearly a big fan lol.

So here is my take on this smell:

I got the crayon term from Yoogis who has a few posted stating that they have that odor, which they say is common in this style. What I think the smell is, is wax (I believe what crayons are also made from) I'm sure they coat the lining with wax or something similar to make it washable. This wax probably starts to smell over time. Again, not a terrible mold, mildew, or cigarette smell, just a wax/plastic smell.

That's what I am thinking at least :)

Hi fellow LV lovers!


I have a question about a wallet I got for Valentines day. I love it, its the Josephine Wallet however it smells. Is this typical for the wallets? This is my first one. I thought the odor would lessen up but its been 3 months now and it still stinks like burnt rubber. None of my other canvas pieces (purses) have ever smelt like this.

I did try airing it out with no success. Anyone have any tips?

I had a clemence in mimosa that smelled so strong! I actually took it in right before the 30 day return period and kept store credit for 2 months until I re bought in fuschia. What color is it?

It may be the new glue or canvas they are using. I got a speedy DA in April and noticed it smelled different than my other bags. Not like burnt rubber, but more plasticy or something.

Hmmmm not normal. I've had many LV wallets and never had that kind of smell. Maybe try returning/exchanging it.

Thank you all for the replies. I wonder if it is a new material glue that is being used. Kelly was your speedy made in France? My wallet was. I probably should have exchanged it but I figured the odor would fade. I got it at the Vuitton boutique in Saks.
