I am new to this thread and am shocked to read that H have this issue with the skunk smell bags! Now it got me worried because I just got my first Birkin recently. I haven't used my newly acquired B yet and it has been in my house where AC is pretty much on all the time since it's quite hot out these days. Does anyone know if 2015 Clemence leather have this problem? Really sorry that people have to go thru this after paying thousands of dollars to get a smelly bag![emoji22]

According to the few posts back, here is no issue with 2015 bags. My Gold B is from 2015 and thus far no issue. If you still worry about it, just let yours out for few hours by the window and see. GL.
Thanks tonkamama. I will try that tomorrow! From reading thru the thread, it seems that it only affects Togo is that right? Or other leathers are also effected?
From the reports on this thread, Yes...Mostly Togo, just few Clemence and maybe one or two Epsom. Mostly dated back 2013 and few 2014 (ladies please correct me, thanks). Nothing yet has reported on the T stamp (2015) production. My "T" stamp Gold B is Togo and smells like leather, I think yours should be fine.
Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but I thought 2015 would have a "S" stamp? Q for 2013, R for 2014 and S for 2015?
No issue dear, I am also learning about Hermes, thanks to all the wonderful and knowledgeable ladies and gentlemen here.
Please kindly refer to below link for the year stamps, apparently "S" is reserved for some special sales...

If I purchased a skunky birkin from a reseller, will Hermes do something about it or do you need to have proof/history of purchase directly from a boutique for them to issue a replacement?
Any boutique is supposed to take your bag and send it to Paris and Paris will decide what solution to offer you.
Oh My.. Im new in this forum. i can believe all the people with smelly *problems* jeje. I am so lucky i got My replacement so quick that i cant believe it after i read this forum.
I bought on abril 14 a black birkin 40 Togo GH.
After 4 months i detected the bad smell of the bag. But i really didn want to return the bag. Finally on 1st of June 15 i returned my little baby the smell was terrible so i imagine that the leather was getting bad. After 9 days My SA cal me to give the news that My SO was in the store. So i went there and he gave the great new that another black birkin arrived so i bring black home two new babys. My so took 4 months and My replacement took 9 days. Im from México.
