I purchased a Brahmin Copa Cabana $8, and a Bendel $16. Unfortunately, the Bendel smells like cigarette smoke. I'm so upset. I have placed a coffee filter filled baking soda in it, hope it helps. It's such a nice handbag. Actually. it's two bags in one. The front unzips and it turns into a smaller bag. I am also reshaping it. Wish me luck! If anyone has an idea on how to beat the smoke, let me know.

Nice bags! I’m sorry about the cigarette smell, that is the worst! The only thing I’ve found to work is airing the bag outside and time. Maybe you could clean the interior like pull it out and use dawn and water?

I would donate it, not worth the time for the effort.

I will give it a try, and if it doesn't work...off to the donation.

I will give it a try. The smell is not overwhelming, I just smell it.

Looks so nice!!

Thank you friend. It was on a new rack they rolled out. The rack was stuffed with beautiful handbags. I ended up giving some of what was in my cart to someone else. Everybody deserves something nice!

That’s great, I agree!

Cut a large raw onion in half and put it inside the bag and leaving it outside to air definitely helps.

My mum used to do the onion thing when my dad smoked and it works ok.

Salval on a ridiculously rainy Saturday, I’ve been watching this piece and the manager marked it down to 50.00 for me, it was 75.


It’s called Married couple flowers for the Madonna. I used to love Giuseppe Armani but as always life goes other ways. Now they’re at the thrift!
