How to remove a musty smell from the inside of a leather handbag?

I'd use a tiny amt. of DampRid, sprigs of Mint/Basil/ and Cinnamon in a mesh veggie bag INSIDE the handbag. Many leathers are tanned in foreign nations with horse urine. Vanilla flavoring in a spot on a sponge is an alternative. Baking soda in an open envelope might be a good thing to keep inside the handbag between uses. Be careful about mixing too many fragrances, though, but rather use the ones more pleasing to you since you have to live with it. Be prepared that the odor may be the urine and not removable, as are many dye odors not
removable. I pray God will help you choose the best one and that it will work along with the baking soda between uses. Good luck and God bless. (09/01/2006)

Hang your jacket on a clothes line or some where that it can air out. Try to hang it in a shady spot as it is not good to hang leather in the sun. I got cigarette smell out of a leather jacket by just letting it air out for a day or two. Hope this helps.

I sprayed this citrus magic air freshener on my vintage leather jacket and it seems to have gotten rid of the body oder that was there.

I recently purchased a full length vintage leather coat. After doing a little research I found that cleaning it with a "leather lotion" by Kiwi, and then spraying it lightly with a product called "leather scent", it has restored my coat to almost brand new. Good luck.
