Angel Jackson Biker Bag .... help needed! Hiya guys

won my dream bag on ebay a few days ago

http://www.angeljackson.co.uk/acatalog/totes.html

( last bag on this page, but in black)

It arrived today, and I adore it!

I got it for a really good price too!

However, It really smells,

like a combination of mustyness and cheap perfume!

it actually gives me a headache,

I dont want to ask for a refund, as i know i will never be able to own this bag so cheap,

but what can I do about the smell!

I would love any advice!

Thanks in Advance

Milly

Air it out- put some kitty litter in a bag and put it in the purse, I heard this works- Cute bag!

Try ZorbX spray, it removes all kinds of odors. You can get this at Target.

oooh just looked up ZorbX,
It looks really good as its fragrance free and non toxic

However I'm in England, and it doesnt exist here!
cant get it on any websites either

Depends upon what the lining is made of....
For light colored cotton and twill fabric linings, I have used a DIY home drycleaning kit, following the directions for "spot removal".... which entails moderately wetting a piece of the dry cleaning cloth and simply wiping down the lining, then letting it dry out.

the lining it black and quilted, also due to the design of the bag some of the inside isnt lined as such about 1/3 is a flap of leather

Try putting some activated filter carbon (pet stores sell it for fish tanks) in a shallow dish at the bottom of the bag .... that will absorb odors.

l'm not sure if its bicarb of soda, or the tumble dryer sheets, that might work......l know lots hate it, but l like fabreez....dont shoot me

oooh that sounds like a good idea,

then i dont have to actually spray or put anything on the bag that might ruin it,

Might try and go to the pet shop tomorrow!

Baking soda absorbs odors

Thanks I think so to,
just saw they have 30% off on their website, so i might get another one in a different colour!

that is one gorgeous bag!!! I love it. I'm in the US, and I haven't heard of this designer before.

BTW, I would put a little dish of baking soda in the bottom of the bag. Put the bag somewhere so that it will not be bumped. Close the bag for 24 to 48 hours. The odor should be gone when you open the bag. Carefully lift the little dish of baking soda out of the bag, so that you don't spill it.

I'm going back to that website!

I would put some coffee (five big spoons) into the bag and leave it for 48 h, this will absorb the smell

You got a lot of different solutions so I hope one or a combination of all these remedies work for you.
