I never had a strong smell problem with any of my H bags. Maybe all bags smell the same and some of us have more sensitive noses?

It was definitely an issue that was acknowledged by H. My bag (along with many others) was sent back to Paris, evaluated, deemed defective and destroyed. My belief is that the leather wasn't tanned properly and bacteria started to grow, causing the skunky/sulfur smell.

Take a read through this thread. It's sad, but interesting.

It was caused by new dyeing technique
Unfortunately it did not work
Explained to me by one of the asm in fsh leather section
Terrible indeed both clients and h
So much lost and inconvenience

My SA also told me about the dying process change. I mostly feel so sorry for the craftspersons who made those bags! All that hard work gone into waste as those stinky bags are destroyed.

Thank you for sharing this. My SM couldn't offer any reason, so I had to come up with my own theory.

I've been waiting for over a year now for my replacement. [emoji20]
