[Bag Odor Tips & Deodorizing Tips] Dear customers, new bags may have a slight natural odor from the raw materials (such as the natural smell of leather or fabric, or a slight odor from sealed storage after production). This is normal. To quickly remove odors, try this: Upon receipt, unzip your bag, open the pockets, and place it in a cool, well-ventilated area to air for 1-2 days (avoid direct sunlight, as this will damage the fabric and hardware). If the odor is noticeable, place a small bag of tea leaves or dried flowers in the bag while it airs to help absorb the odor.
