What you are referring to just might be a mildewy smell. How about some type of cloth sack with baking soda in it and just let it sit in the open air with the baking soda for a while......

I always hang bags in the bathroom, something about the steam and rose scented bath oil neutralises odours.
my bag was left near a big time smoker and it was like a sponge, soaked up the smell. i have such a sensative nose that i can't take it.
the whole bag smells like smoke, how do i get the smell out? it smells inside and out. i sprayed with my Borba Atomizer, and its still smells really bad.
i think most would not be able to tell, but i can. im so alergic to everything... and cig. smoke is probably the worst.
please chime if you have any suggestions?

I know it's not the best smell in the world but, if you take a glass and fill it with white vinegar and put the bag and the glass of vinegar in an enclosed space, it will suck all the smoke out of the bag. Weird but, it works.....I used to do that in cars that smelled like smoke.
What kind of material is your bag? If it's fabric, you could spray it with febreeze and set it outside for awhile. If it's leather, just try setting it outside ( no febreeze ).
Works like a charm - put the glass of vinegar and your bag in a large plastic tote, at least overnight. An open box of baking soda or kitty litter in the plastic tote with your bag will also work, but vinegar's the best!
I read that ground coffee in an enclosed bag will soak up the smoke. I hate to waste coffee so I almost didn't post this.
Another advocate of the Bounce unscented fabric softener here. Put some sheets in the bag, then put the bag in a paper bag and close it up with still more Bounce sheets around it. Leave it for a week and see what happens.
Sorry this happened. I, too, hate when smells get in my bags.
