What I'd like to know is whether H has SOLVED this problem or not: are there still skunk bags coming out of H stores???

I think issue solved
Dyeing stopped leather destroyed
Nothing from recent bag released so far
No complaints here in tpf bout newer r or t stamp
However i believe some of older skunk are still lurking around worldwide stores or warehouses
Unless they did random checking individually all items
Which likely not possible and hardworking
Epsom and clemence are widely use in many items

Thanks Bagidiotic,yes I guess there are still older skunks around, especially on the secondary market.

I've recently purchased a birkin and a kelly, both togo, with no problems. They both have a lovely smell of delicious leather with no hint of anything bad.

If they should act up I will report back.

Thanks to everybody for the encouragement. I'm trying really, really hard to hold off on any other bag purchases until this one comes in, but if it doesn't come in soon, I'm going to cave. A girl can only go so long without a new bag. Ha!

The problem is resolved for newer bags based on everyone I have spoken to. The skunkifying "agent" was introduced and then eliminated, upon discovery of its unintended effects.

So glad to hear this. Now I can stop worrying that my replacement (if it ever comes) will be a stinker too.

The skunk agenda I purchased last week from my H store is a Q stamp in Togo - therefore, yes, it is still possible to purchase a skunker from a boutique, but is less likely with items that have a high turn-around - B/Ks, etcetera.

I just wanted to give an update, although I already posted in the thread regarding SO's. My replacement SO FINALLY came. :yahoo: It took a little over a year, and now I just feel so relieved that I have it, and it's perfect. It sat in the sun in my car for over 45 minutes on the ride home. The leather was very warm to my touch, and it smelled of nothing but yummy leather. My first bag started stinking after about 20-25 minutes on a sunny seat in my car, so I'm feeling pretty good with the sun test on this bag.

Out of curiosity, is there anybody else who is still waiting for a replacement?

Me, I am still waiting for my birkin replacement. I just got my Kelly bambou replacement two weeks ago but no news yet for my birkin.
