Yesterday I went to LV to pick up my Bedford and I was asking my SA if I should stuff this bag. I know that in the past I have purchased bags on ebay that seemed to have lost its shape...anyways she told me that to preserve the shape of my bags that I should always keep them stuffed with tissue paper. (especially with Vernis as the lining will seperate from the exterior if you don't stuff it causing the bag to look "mangled.")
