The Bbag Chat Room

Damn. I know it's hard to get odours out but persevere if the bags are gorgeous!

Yes, they are and I will persevere! I actually got pretty good deals on them so...

On the other hand, my rouge theatre city from 2005 smells like a dream. Just needs some moisturizing and she's good to go! I've been on a tear lately acquiring these bags, BUT prices are right for buyers and they're beautiful! Now I just need somewhere to go.

I’ve never tried using it, but does Febreze work well on this problem or not?

Not disclosing foul odors is not cool for a seller to do, IMHO!

Yep. I'm going to view this as a learning experience to always ask sellers about odors. (I forgot I also had this experience with a bag on fashionphile, but the returns there are so much easier.)

Then you smell like Febreeze, which isn't a favourite of mine. The trick is to eradicate the smell not mask it and Febreeze leaves behind a smell.

O.K., I learned something new today.
You know, as well as anyone here, that it’s not cool to not disclose ALL details during a sale.

Especially when it comes to mold/mildew. The concern there are spores that will eventually grow into mold/mildew. (One of the reasons why cigarette smoke is easier to remove. No spores.) So my first order of business is to blast this bag with as much sunlight/UV light as possible. Luckily it's the summer where I live and the skies in my area at this time are mostly clear of smoke.

I so hope this works out for you.
It’s just a shame that this wasn’t fully disclosed to you in the first place!

Thanks! But as @muchstuff said, I'll persevere.

I know there are so many other unpleasant things happening in the world right now, but it's so nice to be able to rant about a smelly bag without any judgment. Thank you, purseforum!!

I sometimes wonder if owners can actually SMELL their bags. For instance, maybe they cook with something in particular and everything they own smells like that? Like you can't always smell your dog because you're so used to pet odours? I always get someone else to smell all of my bags, I need an objective nose .

smokers do not recognise the smell of cigarettes, and people who live in damp climat usually do not sense the smell of mold, because they get used to it.

I think that can be the problem with some people not listing odours.

certainly!
especially for those buyers who have some conditions, allergies, or astma

I really like the look of these bracelets. Does it get in the way of writing and typing at all?

Not too much for typing. Since I wear it on my left wrist it doesn't get in the way of writing at all.
