Having read some of the replies, I feel like I am committing a cardinal sin by not keeping my bags in their dust bag!

I use my dust bags to keep other things e.g. I have all of my bikini's in one, and I keep the 3D glasses for my TV in another.

Haha!

I use my shoe dust bags for other things! My handbag ones I've been good about using for my handbags, but I never store my shoes in dust bags, nor do I take my expensive shoes to travel.

So the shoe dust bags I use as packing baggies. Ones with drawstrings are especially handy in corralling socks and charge cables.

I don't use them to cover the bags. Excuse my ignorance but I really don't know what they are for! I take care of my bags and have a lot of bags. If they are covered, it turns into an out of sight, out of mind situation for me. So I store there where I can see them and give them a good rotation. Now, I do use the dust bags as a stuffer to keep the bag's shape. I put plastic bubble wrap inside of the dust bag and put it into the bag. But covering them for storage, I don't do.

If it works for you, keep doing it! If you don't use dust bags to cover, using it to stuff a bag with bubble wrap is a great alternative! Would make stuffing and unstuffing a lot easier. Plus it protects the inside of the bag from the materials used.

The more expensive the bag, the less I tend to use them so they live in there dust bags. The more I use the bag, I become more lazy to put them back into dust bags...

Same as Doll2luve, for those bags that are more expensive, they usually remained in the dust bag,
However, for those bags that I use frequently, they are sitting on my chair in my bedroom.
It is quite troublesome to dig out from the dust bag, so I have a chair solely for my bags and I don’t use sit on it. (haha)
Whenever, I have to change a bag, it is most likely be the one sitting on my chair.
Occasionally for events, I will dig out the bag from the dust bag in my wardrobe.
Those bags in the dust bags, are usually in pristine condition, as I don’t usually use them.

I read a fantastic use for dust bags on another thread where someone said she places her bag in the dust bag when she's flying so she doesn't mind stowing it under the seat in front of her. I thought it was very clever!

I go through periods of keeping them all in their dustbags, or I'll take them out to display. Usually my LV and Chanel are in their dustbags a little more often than not. If I plan to sell some bags down the road, they stay in their dustbags.

Sometimes my bags are really all over the closet so I just drape my dustbags over them.

I use my LV dustbag (the brushed cotton/outer cloth) to buff my vachetta (no lotion, etc)

Yes I store all my more expensive bags and small leather goods inside their respective dust bags, though not inside their boxes because I learned somewhere that leather needs to breathe.

I use mine. Things get dusty real quick here so whenever I am not using a bag, she lives in her dustbag...

There are exceptions of course. I have one large H bag that I lost the dustbag for...so she just sits there collecting dust :( literally.

The only bag that I always keep in a dust bag is my Saint Laurent, because it's so expensive and I don't carry it frequently. I have almost all of my other bags in rotation, so I don't put them in dust bags.
