I think the leather is either poorly tanned or newly made so it has a really strong animal smell. post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.46466 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:27:03 -0800 sachabright cleaning leather unpleasant smells deodorizing http://ask.metafilter.com/46466/How-to-get-rid-of-bad-smell-on-leather-bag#708717 <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/4113">This</a> has been suggested for removing bad smells from leather before.
