Hello,
I'm hoping someone can offer some insight here. My wonderful husband bought me a metallic gold caviar Mini Flap bag from his trip to Las Vegas and got it in the Chanel boutique at his hotel. My question is do the metallic or iridescent leathers smell a little different than regular lambskin or caviar leathers? There is a faint odor when I smell the exterior, and I am afraid it is stale cigarette smoke because of the air in the casinos/hotels! Please advise! It's gorgeous, but I want to know what that smell is from. It is not overtly cigarette smoke, but there's some smell there that is different than leather and I wonder if it is the metallic finish or the stale smoke. Thanks.
