When Vintage Turns Deadly

As in; "Holy hell that stiiiiinks!" You know what I was about to do today? Write an ode to my collection of Lady Pride bags. Just as I was about to take a pic of them, I sprayed my newest one with febreeze just to lighten my day and see the mist sprinkling in the light. Five seconds later I almost died. A horrible fish smell came off of the bag and it was one of the worse smelling things I've ever smelled. Ever. Seriously. Anyway, I googled this issue and found a lot of people have it, and surprisingly they get it from newer leather bags. Turns out it can be a preservative spray causing the offensive odor. I think that must be the case, this bag has never been used. Well, I like to pride myself to be the ridder of smells but I did everything but bomb this thing and it still reeks! I once had a vintage suitcase that smelled so musty, finally I spilled an entire container of Scentsy spray on it and the smell somewhat went away. I have this thing soaking in Rug Doctor cat odor eliminator and I think it's the only thing that can help me. Here's a pic of the offending bag, but I will let you know how it turns out and if so, provide steps and tips to removing odors. Until then, this thing is banished to soak in its own misery and stench.
