Hi! I bought a preloved speedy B 25 damier azur. The bag has a very strong perfumy smell especially on the vachetta. I added pics up it has splotchy areas on the vachetta and on tue side straps almost looks like some liquid ran down and left and "v" mark. This makes the handles and vachette not as smooth as my other speedys. I am wondering is this be because someone sprayed appleguard or something similar on it? I am wondering what this could be to cause these marks. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Almost looks like it had sat in something wet and the vachetta absorbed it up from the base. Yes, a spray treatment can be a cause of both scent and irregular coloration. Was the vachetta properly shown in pics, and the scent? If not you have recourse with the seller, I think. I'd be disappointed if it was unexpected!
