I store all my bags in dustbags and boxes. I have never had any problems

I store mine in its dust bag too as the box takes up too much space.

I agree with your SA. The leather will breath better in the dustbag OUTSIDE of the box, otherwise, it is possible the bag will get moldy and mildew-y.

I keep my boxes too, I just keep them in another closet.

Lovesbmw--our driveway is chock full of older BMWs -- you'd love it here! To the topic -- if your tossing any boxes, let me know. I really think whether or not to leave the purse in the box depends on climatic conditions. I've never encountered mold, mildew, fungus, smells, anything on my purses and they're all stored in boxes. Granted I don't put them in the dusk jacket for fear of squishing the chains into the leather. If the environment is non-airconditioned, damp, humid, then itake precautions but if the house is pretty much the same temp be it heated or a/c, then there is no reason for anything to begin mucking with the purses. It's not like boxes are devoid of air. (My oldest Chanel is over 20 years old and last check was doing just fine.)
