Help guys!
I have in recent years not been in LV threads much - been stalking Chanel. However, there is one bag I absolutely LOVE in LV I could not replace with any Chanel - that is the speedy band. I have the 25 in DE and waiting on my 30.
I bought my 25 speedy b DE in 2017 and have been very careful when not in use - always kept in its bag, stuffed so it doesn't lose shape, and kept it clean. REcently I noticed awful BRASSY smell. You know that smell with old tarnished coins? THAT - also tends to cause other areas to smell too. Like handles and even onto my other stuff in the bag. The horror!! The hardware itself is bright and not tarnished, but just smell god-awful tarnished brass. The bag looks just like it did when I bought it, it has held up really well as most LV does. I am just soooo disappointed right now, and not looking forward to the 30 now.
. I have had 2 speedys in the past, but never had issues with smell. I have a NF, Totally, Eva, pallas and lots of SLGs but this speedy (which happens to be my fave of all the LV) is the one that has issues!
Help! Anyone have similar experience? Suggestions (short of selling it, that is)? THanks guys!!
