I had thought that the stink problem was over for Hermes, but I was wrong. Yesterday I received an evelyne pm from h.com and just about fell over when I opened the box. It was the strongest smell of glue and plastic! I took the bag outside and smelled it then and it was still horrible!
I'm sending the bag back but am really disappointed in the brand right now. It's just unacceptable to continue to sell bags with this issue. :nono:

So sorry to hear this! I have an epsom bolide that has the same sort of smell. I have wondered if it's considered defective too. I have had others that definitely were that true skunk smell and they were replaced within 6 months. I hope you can find another evie that is perfect!!

i am shocked to hear this as well
i remember wrongly thought a preloved bag was a skunk 2 years ago
this is very disappointing especially given that you ordered from h.com

i really do hope that they are doing something about this
and i am so sorry that you have to go through this..

An update on my Birkin situation. I got a call yesterday and my replacement bag has arrived from Paris. It's the exact same bag just brand new. I live 1000s of miles from the boutique but luckily hubby is traveling there for work and will pick it for me!! So excited and delighted. It took 6 weeks only. Had been told to expect at least 4 months of waiting.
Could I request help with the year stamp for 2016.. Is it X? Thank you in advance.

I received a tpm with the same sell... not skunk... but very strong, unpleasant smell... I aired it out for a day or two... smell is gone. Thankfully for me bc it was in Rose Sukura and I did not want to part with it.

Nevertheless... very disappointing.
