the musty smell comes from usage (leaving lotion, sweat, skin celks,etc., at a micro level) let it sit and the smell becomes more aware... sometimes the older the bigger the smell. Using it helps... but you need to properly clean it (look for DIYs covering damp cloth to vodka cleanings) and condition your leather bags. Don't know how?... check with your local shoe or boot repair shops. Hope this helps.
Fresh air and lots of usage seems to work wonders! I bought a vintage keepall and managed to get rid of most of the odor by leaving dryer sheets in it over many nights. plus leaving coffee beans (wrapped in kitchen towels) inside. Great vid as always :) xx
Hi What I do is make sachets or pockets filled with baking soda and leave in the bag for a week or so or more even. I do the same with old clothe too. The BS absorbs the odor and you can a few drops of you favorite essential oil to the baking soda if you want. Voila! It works.😄
@@kashafzahid585 Hiya, yes it does! When I buy vintage / secondhand clothes and coats I now put them in a vacuum bag, add the sachet or pouch then suck out the air and then after a week or so I take them to the drycleaners. They smell so fresh, you wouldn't know the garment is old! Definitely worth it! 😊
I used a product called OdoBan. I took a white wash cloth, sprayed OdoBan on the cloth and dampened the cloth. Then I wiped down the inside of my bag thoroughly. I put dryer sheets in and left it open a couple of hours. The odor was faint. I repeated this a couple of days later, the smell was just about gone. I did again one more time and it was gone. I also used the bag.
I'm a seller and buyer on Poshmark. I have had too many experiences purchasing strong musty items! I mean STRONG musty stuff. How the sellers don't know is beyond me! I tried everything to make these usable for myself, but ended up throwing them away as not to contaminate my clean stuff. I don't like perfume and that's a whole nother issue, or items sold that are febreezed beyond help. I recently purchased a Vera Bradley garment bag that smelled musty to the point of a headache. I have washed it 3 times in white vinegar, now I will try bagging it up in active charcoal. As a seller I would never do this to buyers. It's dishonest.
I just bought a bag off of Poshmark. The seller doused it in what smells like Estée Lauder perfume from an 80’s sampler gift. I’m super pissed off. She was obviously trying to mask the STRONG mildew smell. I’ve washed the bag in various different ways several times and the perfume smell is still there. Ozium spray on the liner helped a lot though. Thankfully, I love a challenge and will get the smells out if it’s the last thing I do. I just wish the seller would have been honest. It’s really nasty. Rant over.
I am done with buying from Poshmark since I have been sold bags that are smelly and not disclosed. If it’s not returnable, I don’t buy it sight unseen. Simply not worth it.
My vintage Trousse 28 had a mildew like smell. I tried wiping it down with baby wipes, didn’t work, then a towel soaked with scented washing detergent, didn’t work... spraying perfume, didn’t work... stuffed it with dryer sheets, didn’t work and finally I used a Q-tip soaked in lemon oil on the zipper fabric and I rubbed the vinyl with the lemon oil and sat it on the window seal with the window open for a week and finally the smell is gone! I believe tea tree oil will work too, since it’s anti-bacterial.
I had/have the same issue with a Chanel Maxi that I purchased recently. When I got it it had such a strong mildewy smell... I haven’t used it THAT much because of the coronavirus pandemic... but I did decide to let it “hang out” in my room and not store it when it’s not in use. Fast forward to today (2 months after I got it), I smelled the maxi flap and the smell seems to be almost gone. 🥰 I: -Used some bed sheets that were previously soaked in fabric softener to both help remove the door and to help shape the bag when it’s not in use -Let it hang out in my room to remove some of the smell (away from sunlight, but in a ventilated area) -Used some leather cleaner and conditioner to condition my bag (I think this helped a bit to kinda neutralise the smell) -I used it. Even though the smell was a bit pungent I used it. I used it to the grocery maybe 3 times lol
I bought a Trousse 28 that was impeccable but smelled meldewy. I did the whole ritual of baby wipes, vinegar cleaning. I washed it twice on gentle. Air dryed. Still smelled. I bought a pound of heavily flavored coffee beans. poured them in. Shook the bag every time I remembered, then used it a lot. 99% gone. Now my stink freeing project is my Shopping Sac. Sent it to be repaired by a LV group person. She kept it forever. Finally got it back. Great work on the straps. The mold smell which wasn’t there when Insent it to her, was coming through the packing. Livid. I pulled the lining inside out. Wiped it down, aired it out. Put charcoal bags, then Downey beads with Gain beads and charcoal bags for 6 weeks, sealing it as much as I could. It is airing again now. The smell is in the lining. I am going to buy the airban(sp) and start using it. Wish me luck.
Thanks for sharing and everyone! I bought a Neverfull recently and it came with a smell. I’m definitely going to try the baking soda and USE it everywhere I go! My other Louis have no smell but I did purchase those brand new.
@@davidavalosbocel5363 hi David I bought the largest LV Bandouliere with the smell of mold. I’m using bamboo charcoal, letting it sit inside out in backyard and will put those baking soda pods in there next. I am going to try to clean the lining with a water/vinegar solution, not straight vinegar. Do you have any other advice? Thank you.
@@HeidiLovesNYC that’s me and how I feel. I said dang let me just save up get a new one! The seller didn’t mention there was a smell and I brought to her attention. Needless to say it’s as is if you’re not face to face.
Personally I would be too scared to get the bag wet but those Sila packets that come with shoes and things like that are great at absorbing smells. If it’s a larger bag you can take a box of baking soda( just like the one in the back of the fridge) and place the entire box inside the bag and close the bag and put the bag inside a garbage bag for a day or so.
I tried most of the techniques listed here and they had minimal results for me. I believe in baking soda and storage for a long period of time. I also had good results with direct sunlight. but I saw on youtube that a person recommended a product called Odoban for $3.50 at Home Depot and the spray really did a great job for me. Also if you have those silca packets that come with your purses and clothes save them they work good to in stopping mold with storage. Another storage tip is cedar and mothballs they prevent moldy smells. Good luck.
Omg you’re an angel! I bought a gorgeous vintage coach bag off eBay and it arrived stinking of mildew and covered in baking soda! I didn’t even think of odoban but I had it and I think that has worked! Fingers crossed!
So that is a perfect description! I just got a vintage LV and that exactly what it smells like! I find that once I put my spearmint gum in my regular bags, that will take any smells over. To The point where my protein bar would taste minty LOL
Cashin in on click bait? 😄That thumbnail is life!! ❤️❤️ I actually figured out just using my bag gets rid of the odor. I had one bag that smelled really vintage and I just made sure I took my cards and cash out and carried them in a throw away zip lock bag inside to prevent smell transfer. After several uses the bag smells fine. I don’t buy or own any knock offs now, but I have purchased one LV knockoff several years ago and close to the end of her life I threw her in the washer and the canvas and leather were fine. I don’t think I could throw a real Louis Vuitton in the washer.
Hahaha 😂😂😂 I scheduled this video and UA-cam picked its own thumbnail instead of my custom one lol I didn’t realize my facial expression was so dramatic though 😩😂
I know what you mean by the smell! Get an open box of baking powder and just open your bag over the box and just have it there for a week! If you get another one that’s smelly!
Appreciate the efforts! I’m at this point too just using it BUT I’m more worried about the scent transferring on my notebooks, wallet, and whatever else I put in it. Did this happen to you?
I was given several bags that smell like mildew. Probably not the same smell you’re talking about But I heard lemon juice diluted with water works wonders
Hi. I feel your pain.... I have alot of bags from years of buying High end lux mostly.... Just 2 weeks ago I was devastated to open the wardrobe door where all the bags are kept and there was mould on almost every bag..... The smell was death,.... I cried for an hour...... Then I rang my mom,,,, she said to use White vinegar and a dash of baking soda. I washed them all over a week. I then hung them on the washing line in direct sun light. They were better, but some needed 2 or even 3 washes!!! Then, a few at a time I brought them in the house and used leather cleaner and conditioner. The final step was serious spraying of one of my sons lynx deodorant...... A couple still need more work but overall none of them had to go in the rubbish... My mom also said to start using different bags, as using them does help too.
Your hair is beautiful and so is the bag they say coffee beans dryer sheets and putting outside and it takes time also ozeum spray unstoppables work charcoal bag from Amazon I used all it did work but it took about a month 😂
Girl I just bought a huge tote full of vintage genuine leather purses/clutches/handbags/and tote bags. And they ALL stink EXACTLY how you deacribed. I stupidly threw several in the washer on the cold & gentle cycle but those are completely RUINED!!! And no I did not dry them in the dryer. Plus they all stank the same as before they got washed. I have a crap ton more though that I need to get that smell out so I can sell them.
Thanks for this! I just received a leather Gucci Bowie bag that I purchased from Ebay. It's not vintage but it smells of the person's home plus cigarette smoke. It's disturbing and has taken the shine off my "I just bought a designer bag" moment. I saw advice about baking soda and vinegar but as it's leather Im not taking the chance - and fresh air is definitely the least risky option. :)
Great video, because I think I'm going crazy with this Papillion that has a smell but I bought and it's a gorgeous bag but I never use it because of the smell I have tried many things I guess now it's just time to start taking it out and using it ,thank you!!!👛💐
@@BrittanyGood mine is the largest LV Bandouliere and because it’s luggage I can’t use it every day. Sitting outside inside out, next Bamboo charcoal, I bought the baking power pods and next will try a vinegar and water solution. What do you think? Anyway, love your channel and subscribed. Thank you.
Honestly this is the best advice of all the video i watched. This worked for me too, i tried many methods but this advice goes well but is a slow process tho
I’ve had Baking soda. Carpet powder. Bath n body spray in mine for weeks and it still smells like mildew. I started out wiping it down inside n out with diluted bleach. Usage, air and time are my best bets I suppose
I cant get the Chemical Smell out of my Knock Off Poshette metis, i aired it out for 3 weeks, then put 50 fabric Softener Sheets in it for 2 more weeks, Nope, nothing helpes. Being that it's a knockoff I'm afraid if I put it in the washing machine it may fall apart LOL
@@BrittanyGood yeah, been doing that now for about 5-6 weeks. There's No Help for this bag. Too bad to, cuz i really liked it. I don't know What the hell shit chemicles they're using over there in Damn China, but obviously they haven't a Clue !! Hope this shit isn't Toxic, lol Smells it tho !!
Just wash it in the washer, if you can’t use it the way it is take a chance. What’s the worse that can happen, if it’s ruined throw it out, or it may fix the problem. I’m going to do it with my vintage coach court bag I received yesterday. Not worth shipping back, so I’ll try the washer.

I bought a bag from goodwill and it was an expensive bag, I took it back, it was not worth it. Didnt notice the smell till I got it home. Please smell them before you purchase them.
Put some coffee grinds in a ziploc and place inside opened. Throw the coffee grinds away when the smell goes away. This video should've been titled what not to do to remove odors 😂😂😂
I bought a used makeup bag that has a really strong odor of VERY old, stale makeup or perfume. It's really awful. It doesn't have any stains on it, just the smell. I've tried vinegar, baking soda, and washing it, and it still stinks! A musty odor I could tolerate, but not this stale perfume stink. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey I have washed coach leather bags in the washer on gentle cycle and I let air dry and put Apple leather conditioner on it and turned out great.take care
I’ve done a million things to deodorize old bags. The best thing ended up being propping it open and letting it sit in the sun for a couple days with baking soda in it.
I have a vintage coach court bag I bought off of eBay. Smells of moth balls. Do you think I could put it in the washer on delicate? It doesn’t have the big middle agitator , should be ok?
@@blankspace5185 thanks for replying. I did that with the dryer sheets, sat it under a calling fan, hung it outside when I could. After a week smell completely gone. I’m so happy. I’m actually shocked because the smell was so strong. I left the dryer sheets (one in main compartment, front and back slip pockets) and stuffed main compartment. I’m all set now.
I just bought a vintage bag and I smell a vintage smell slightly. Do you think it’s just a storage smell or mold smell?
Its hard to (at least for me) to determine that... maybe someone else in the comments can help?
the musty smell comes from usage (leaving lotion, sweat, skin celks,etc., at a micro level) let it sit and the smell becomes more aware... sometimes the older the bigger the smell.

It may takes time to take thr smell away when you used it all time 😂 another bag, my niece threw in the washing machine, it worked hahhahaa
what lv bag is this?
The Pochette accessoires
I have a vintage coach court bag I bought off of eBay. Smells of moth balls. Do you think I could put it in the washer on delicate?
It doesn’t have the big middle agitator , should be ok?
Try putting dryer sheets in it and leave them in for a week. Helped with my LV alma and I'm using on a vintage gucci I just bought
@@blankspace5185 thanks for replying. I did that with the dryer sheets, sat it under a calling fan, hung it outside when I could. After a week smell completely gone. I’m so happy. I’m actually shocked because the smell was so strong. I left the dryer sheets (one in main compartment, front and back slip pockets) and stuffed main compartment. I’m all set now.
My goodwill bag smells like a grandma
Lol....That sounds like when i got a vintage Gucci. Beautiful bag i got but it had that smell. I could not take it i put it back in the box.
