I received my (first and only) LV in the mail last week... a Cerises Speedy I purchased from ebay. I was a little annoyed at the way the bag was packaged, but otherwise the bag seemed as described.
The seller hadn't mentioned any weird smells, and I hadn't thought to ask... A HUGE mistake.
The inside of the bag smells extremely strongly of perfume... and I suspect it was used to cover up the smell of cigarettes. I like perfume, but this I find really unpleasant.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do? I was thinking of putting a stack of dryer sheets... or dumping some baking powder inside and vacuuming it up. (Or will that make a stain?) I left a sock with baking soda inside, with the bag open and my dining room fan turned on, and it did nothing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I want to love this bag, but the smell is making it impossible :cry:
