tonka so good to see you !!! You look great as always !!! ❤️
thank you ladies
Old and trusty raisin lindy today !
First trip out for my birthday with my new to me Birkin... Although I wasn’t sure whether to make a new thread but I’ve just got home and have been thinking all day... what smells like marijuana?!? Turns out it’s my new bag! It STINKS like seriously hums! I have no idea what to do, I absolutely love it and can’t send it back.
But will Hermes help? as I bought it pre-owned and I don’t have a receipt. And I don’t know any SA’s.
I’m so gutted because this bag means a lot to me sentimentally. Any advice would be very much appreciated TIA
Also let me know if I should have made a separate threadfor this topic.

what a nuisance! It is truly a lovely bag, I am sorry to hear that it comes with that horrible stink! Try airing it, use appropriate leather cleaning products to clean inside and out and see if it helps? Hermes spa will help with touch ups but I don’t believe they are known for getting rid of smells!
Once you do the airing and cleaning, I’d get those mesh dried flower/fruit little smell sachets for wardrobes and would leave it inside the closed bag for some time....
About 6 or 7 years ago, many of the H bags smelled like marijuana especially when they sat in the sun for too long. H said it had something to do with the tanning process...I think there are a bunch of threads about it on TPF.
Edit: Meant to say the bag looks beautiful but clicked 'post' before I was ready. What is the color?
This is defective and you should contact Hermes. They know that no amount of airing will help. It is an issue with the leather processing and all affected bags are deemed unsaleable. We know a lot about these batches Good luck!
out and about (for essential grocery shopping)!
Thank you all for your lovely comments, I really appreciate it.
I just got off the phone with Hermes, and I’ve got an appointment tomorrow with a leather specialist to assess it. I’m just hoping it’s a bit warmer than today so the smell is noticeable again. As it’s definitely the hot wether that makes it stink. And it’s pre-owned with no receipt so fingers crossed that won’t be a problem.
The colour is Rouge Casaque, in size 35. I’m 5ft 10” and it doesn’t seem too big on me.
It’s my dream shade of red, especially in the Epsom. It’s such a perfect bright red, I’m completely obsessed with it. It seems to go with all of my outfits.
Thanks again guys x
It's a gorgeous bag. Perfect size and color for you. Please let us know how things turn out - hoping for a good resolution!
Presenting here an "unorthodox" Hermes bag: My vintage Hermes Aline Tote Bag!
This bag is featured under the Hermes Equestrian section, and is traditionally used as a grooming bag to store horse treats. Here, I have used it as a daily tote bag for work
I have also added on my own canvas strap
