Put a baggie of baking soda inside and air bag outside, preferably in low humidity. Keep doing that and replacing the baking soda as needed. It’ll take awhile, but hopefully should help. Yes, I agree it should be disclosed that it came from a smoking home.
Thank you! I will try that. I thought about putting a bowl of vinegar in it, but that's too risky.
You can also use dry coffee grounds or kitty litter in a big bag with the purse inside and tied shut. I used this to get smoke smell out of a leather jacket. Didn’t need to be outside or repeatedly replaced. Took a couple days.
Thank you! I love the smell of coffee! I will try that too!
Wow! It is huge! thank you!
A triple 1941 reveal! I've bought three items since March started...the black quilted rivets Dinky was my PCE purchase from my "home" at Coach House, and the black Soho and surplus (? - didn't have the original tag so there was no color info) small trifold wallet bought 10 days apart at 50% off each from the Coach at Macy's Herald Square, which sometimes plays by its own rules... Unless something SUPER compelling comes along (like that black quilted rivets Parker at least 30% off...although I'm not as must-have about it as I was a couple of weeks ago now that I have the Dinky) I am now on ban for awhile - hitting Italy in October, and when in Italy a Gucci or Prada might beckon...

You know, I’m pleasantly surprised about how nice the Charlie is. I bought it mainly to fit my iPad Pro (12.9 size) to meetings. I usually carry a tote bag but I don’t need all the space, all the time.
The leather is really nice, and it holds a ton. I can certainly see getting another one if it goes on sale. I’m not sold on the strap though. For one, the hardware is brass/gold and the Charlie is silver. I, for some reason didn’t see that when I bought it today.
I should stay out of the store though, because the signature Charlie is calling my name.
The thing I have used for smoke smell is “airboss” it takes a while I put it inside the bag for a while and put it outside on nice days too I was able to eliminate the smell in a bag that way. But it did take about 3 months and a couple airboss but I don’t notice the smell anymore. Those are beautiful bags. I still have a couple. There isn’t really anything you can do about the corners except redying that was one bad thing about those legacy duffles.
So lovely! I especially like the Dinky.A triple 1941 reveal!

OMG, me too re: signature one! It's so fun! I've been carrying my washed red for days. Get many compliments!You know, I’m pleasantly surprised about how nice the Charlie is.

Wow. Great bag. Thanks for the shots.
