Default Keepall Owners

I have a 45, which I've never stored in anything and I have my new 55. I took the 55 out to make sure all is well but I want to store it until my trip in a few weeks. So how do you store yours when you aren't using it?

TIA!

i got a used one recently. just to hold me over until i get the one i want.
i keep it on a shelf with the rest of mind. i don't have it in a dustbag, but it already has a nice patina. no pillows or anythihng inside of it so far, but i am considering using an old bed pillow just bc i like how it looks all shaped out!

so, im saying i don't worry abou tit. bc its going to get messy sooner or later and this can't be a piece i am afraid of. ill baby other pieces!

My 45 I leave out because I've had it forever. I am not using the 55 until next month on my trip to Palm Springs. I have it in the dustbag now but would like to also put it back in the box it came in.

I have a 55 and I stuffed it with pillows and its on top of my wardrobe "tanning" I liked when the leather was white but i really like when it evens out all around in that honey color so thats where I have it... To maintain a nice shape and a great patina.

I got these bubble pillows from a great SA yesterday. I will start using those in my Keepall now. I keep mine in the dustbag, inside the box. I take it out every now and then for it to get some fresh air

^The new one is in the dustbag in the box. I took it out the first day I got it and haven't since. I am taking it out today though for some air.

I have my favourite downfilled duvet set in my 55 right now (I don't use it on my bed 'cause my bed's a king and the duvet is a queen). It fills my keepall nicely and keeps my duvet and cover protected.
