I keep mine stuffed with those clear plastic air filled thingys (I don't even know what they are really called:shame: ) They are MUCH better than tissue paper, t- shirts etc, as they are pretty much weightless.

i've been laying them flat in their dust bags.

that's a good idea, stuffing them w/ those inflated plastic thingies. thanks cassidy! btw, where can i buy them? at the ups store or fedex? :shrugs:

Stuff them with clean sheets/ tshirts and leave them upright in their dust-bag...

From the advice of another PF'er I dont store them in their Box, as the leather needs to breathe...

I stuff them lightly with tissue paper and put them in the dust bag. I used to also them put them in their boxes, but it became such a pain to get them in and out of the box. So now, they just sit on the shelf in their dustbags.

I rotate mine on a daily basis, so I don't bother with stuffing - nor do I have the room to keep them stuffed! I keep them in their dustbags, laying flat, one on top of another.

^^^I didn't know that the leather needs to breathe, so I've been keeping them in the boxes (for the ones I have boxes for!). I'll now store them in dustbags lightly stuffed with tissue paper until I receive a package that has those inflated plastic thingys.

They're called 'air pillows' and you can purchase them on eBay. Do a search on packing materials or styrofoam peanuts, and those air pillows should com up. ;)

i'm fanatical about storing my bags properly but my bbags are the only ones i don't stuff -- they don't need it (partly because i use them all the time but also because the leather is so thin and supple it doesn't crease). i suppose if they were going into storage i would stuff them. btw, someone once told me to never use plastic to store anything: clothes, bags. the reason being that plastic (especially soft plastic) "outgasses" and can have an ill effect on the material (like my wedding dress -- plastic would cause it to yellow). so i use only acid free tissue paper to stuff my bags and i store them only in the dustbag (i actually think it's ok to store in the box since paper does breath -- i would just make sure to air them out once in a while).
