How to Get the Chemical Smell Away from a New Purse

I know some people don't feel comfortable about the bad smell that comes with the beauty of the purse, some even have allergic reaction, like tight throat and watery eyes and a headache when they use the purse. The smell is from the glue that is used to put the leather together, which is a necessary or even indispensable process to make a bag, and you know all glue products are chemical, and all chemical products have certain bad effect on our bodies. If you find yourself allergic to this, I don't suggest you use any leather goods any more. Most fabric and nylon products do not have that smell.

You may wonder why the authentic bag does not have the smell. Honestly, do you know how long it takes for authentic kind to get to the counter after it's off the production line? If you get your replica bag that long, it won't have the smell either.

That being said, I do have a pretty smart way of getting the glue smell away. It's my personal experience, nothing professional. When you get a new bag, don't use it until the smell is gone. Some of you already know that you can put it somewhere with a good natural air flow, but the natural way is gonna take weeks or even months. My experience is, you can also put a whole ROLL of toilet paper, preferably the kind that comes with a nice natural scent, say the lavender or lemon, I am sure you can easily find such kind of toilet paper in any supermarket. Remember, it's a WHOLE ROLL of it inside the bag. It only takes like a day or two, and the smell will be gone. After that, you can spray some (not too much) of your favorite fragrance to the inside of the bag and the smell of the fragrance is gonna be there forever.

How do you like the idea of that? Let me know how it goes!
