Hi. I've tried the cedar blocks and lavender clothes spray and that has worked for me. You can purchase these items at bed, bath, and beyond. Saturate the cotton balls with the lavender spray. You can place the saturated cotton balls in a plastic ziplock bag so that they don't wet/stain the interior lining. Leave the ziplock bag open and close your bag for about a day or two. Hope this helps.
Odd smell in LV bag...

I bought my first LV last night and am thrilled! The only thing is the bag smells of must 
the owner of the consignment shop said someone told her to put the bag in the freezer with a potato and baking soda and it removes the smell. Has anyone heard of this or done it?!

I purchased a Gucci bag and have the same problem. I've tried cleaning it in vinegar and baking soda, I even put a box of open baking soda in the purse and sealed it in Ziploc in the freezer and nothing. I also purchased the odor bags at amazon, not helpful either. I saw someone said cedar chips, I saw them at target so I guess I will try them. Good lucK!
I've got the same problem with a Gucci bag, I've tried everything but the cedar chips, so I'm going to try this today! Thank u
I bought a used monogram alma from eBay recently and its in great shape but also has a musty smell I think I will try what one poster stated about the stuff from lowes and see if that works.
I had a musty smelling bag LV speedy from eBay, and had a hard time getting rid of the odor, but this literally worked like a charm. (I did try baking soda inside a dish in the bag, newspaper, dryer sheets, febreeze and none worked).
I found those little scent beads you put in the washing machine ( I used Downy brand in shimmer scent ) got rid of the smell completely. I placed some in a dish, placed that in the bag/zipped up the bag/viola! It probably took 3 days, but the scent was gone, not just covered. It did such a good job when I sold the bag I didn't worry about the odor at all ( and I have a very sensitive nose ). This worked on the musty type smell - not smoke odor, but worth a try
. Good luck!

. Good luck!What I found that works is this:
1. Put a ton of silica gel bags (those tiny paper packets that say "do not eat" when you buy shoes or bags, we collect them) inside the bag
2. Then put a scoop of good smelling powder detergent in an envelope and tape all the seams so it won't seep out. Put it in the bag.
3. Put the bag in a sealed box/taped paper bag and keep it sealed there, undisturbed for 2-3 days.
Smell is gone now!
I bought a preloved LV Saumur 35 that smelled old (musty, woody, cabinet smell) and I am so happy I got rid of the smell. I also wiped the outside of the bag with a damp cloth. The inside was clean so I left it unbothered.
