I can second this. Even canvas bags are prone to cracking when stored in a box. ;s
Do YOU use your dustbag?

Dustbag and stuffing always for my expensive purses! Stored inside my closet as well.
I hang my cheap, faux no-name purses on a coat stand. I don't really care what happens to them.
My closet is tiny so only my special bags go in there.

Funny I should see this thread today ...
I re-organized my closet over the holidays and today I went shopping for fabric to make dustbags for my good bags (Several Coaches, Several Dooneys, RLL, Calvin Klein, Rebecca M., etc). I plan to customize each dustbag with the name/style/color of each bag on the dustbag, wh embroidery or vinyl text.
My "Very Good" bag collection (1 - Prada Tote, 3 Gucci's, 2 Gucci Wallets, 1-Salvatore, 1 LV, 1 JC, 1 LV Wallet, 1 Fendi Wallet) pales compared to many of you, but I worked hard to get them so I try to protect them by keeping them in dustbags with silicon sachet bags.

I have gotten better about keeping the designer dust bags. For the bags without one, I use pillowcases. I also use bubble wrap to stuff the empty bags so they keep their shape.
Thought I would share one of the dust bags I made - per my post above.
The material is flannel. I am storing my low cost bags in this dustbag design.
Medium priced bags will go in another type of flannel. For my more expensive bags that I don't have dustbags for I had used muslin - but the fabric is very thin so I plan to buy white or off white flannel to make dustbags to store them.

Thank you LoveLvSpeedy. The different dustbags will help me organize my handbags as well. I plan to use the smaller scraps pieces of fabric to make covers for my SLG's (wallets, small crossbodys) . I'll use Velcro for fastening as opposed to drawstring.
I always use my dustbags. Mostly, for those bags that are not in use for a prolonged period of time. Another suggestion, you could just drape the dustbag over the purse to sort of cover it up while on the shelve. Another suggestion, you can fold and display the dustbag as a placemat for your bags. I always take a dustbag with me while traveling.
I like luv2bling's idea of a bag picture on front of dusty.
I use dustbags--but, don't store handbags in magnetic boxes, etc.
I write bag style/color on pieces of ribbon, using permanent marker--then tie these labels to dusty drawstrings. Or safety pin onto dustbags without drawstrings.
Lets me recycle boutique packaging ribbon, plus see which bag's in dusty @ a glance.
