Camel Leather Smell

My new camel leather hand bag smells, how can I get rid of smell?

Camel Leather Smell

Good leather has a 'fragrance'. As a horse person, the smell of good leather is heavenly to me - so earthy and rich. I suppose you could try Febreeze, but it (or anything else) will probably discolor the leather. (09/26/2006)

Camel Leather Smell

We have just purchased a camel leather bag in Morocco only to have the bag start smelling once we arrived home! Someone suggested to us rubbing lemon onto the leather. We're still waiting to see if this works. Have you found any solution to the problem? (01/01/2007)

I have the same problem as Annette... maybe we went to the same leather market in Marrakech! My bag stinks to high heaven. Can anyone suggest a way to lose the smell of dead camel? (01/11/2007)

I normally like the smell of leather in a new bag, but my camel leather bag from Morocco just plain stinks. I hope someone will post a way to get rid of it, for all of us poor bagaholics who splurged in the Souk. (02/24/2007)

I think I may have found an excellent alternative solution to ridding the pungent smell from the leather. I recently (last week) purchased 7 bags from Fez and Chefchaouen that smelled horribly. I purchased 2 ozium odor and smoke elimination gel containers for home, car, and office. I placed 2 large leather bags into one black large trash bag with the gel container opened fully tied the bags shut. I proceeded to leave the bags outside for 2 days in the sun. So far, the smell has been reduced by 90%. I have decided to keep them sealed for a couple more days for added measure to completely eliminate the smell. You can buy the gel on amazon for $7 bucks or your local advanced auto parts store.

I purchased a leather Camel bag and a leather camel backpack from Morocco Fez at the end of May. After arriving home, the horrible pungent smell appeared. I took them to the shoe repair for treatment.

The bag smells 100% better but that backpack needs some help. I now wish I left both items plus camel leather slippers in Fez.
