Do YOU use your dustbag?

[LevyH]

A lot of luxury brand handbags almost always come with a dust-bag, but does one use them after a week after getting that gorgeous bag?

I admit that I have become quite lazy with my dust-bags

I currently own a small Givenchy Antigona Duffle, a Mulberry Oversized Alexa and a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM and as I look at my closet now while typing this, none of these bags have their dust-bags on !

So basically why I started this thread is because I was wondering if anyone else is as lazy as I am or rather the opposite.

Do any of you ladies or gents actually use dust-bags?

When I store my LV in the shelf I always used my dust bag just for protection from getting scuffed or scratched, but always leave the top of the dust bag open to avoid storage smell specially if the bag is made of leather.

But how does a handbag get scuffed or scratched sitting on a shelf? If we were doing this right we'd put them in the dustbags when we wear them.

I was advised by a few SA of different Designer shop not to put my bags inside dust bag. At first I was reluctant to leave all my bags in the open shelves. But after hearing more n more advise from Sales Assistants, I don't keep in dust bags any more. SA said dust bag is not good for humid tropical weather where we live.

Those living in humid tropical country, Please advise. TIA

For high end handbags I always use the dust bags.

I'm in a tropical country and use my dust bags. I learned these tricks from some friends after the first monsoon season:

I buy those dehumidifying boxes that collect water and keep them in my cupboard with my leather bags. I also periodically wipe them too. I sometimes use a dehumidifying machine in the AM for a few hours after turning off the AC and opening the windows.

It's good to let your bags "air" and use them regularly.
My patent leather bags became slightly sticky. And it's suede bags that are especially sensitive to moisture.

Yes I use the dust bags to keep the bags when I'm not using them or to carry them in my luggages, especially when I'm travelling to tropical countries

Yes, I use my dustbags and I put some silicone packs inside it for moisture protection. I mean it works to maintain shoes why not bags?

I use my dustbags in the bottom of my bags so they are "protected" ☺

I do use my dust bags. I switch out bags once a week starting on Sunday, so I clean out the old one and place it in its dust bag before I transfer all my stuff into the new one.

I do the same thing when I change out bags. All the stuffing goes back in, the dust bag goes on, and everything goes back into it's original box. I have bags that are decades old that still look beautiful because they are not exposed to the elements while not in use.

I use the dustbags but take out the bags atleast once a week to check the condition of my bags or just want to see them all over my bed

I also use silicone packs and bought dehumidifier for my cabinet.

I use my dust bags to preserve my handbags. Even sunlight can ruin your bags! Also...I have a toddler.

I used to use them when I'd store them but I have a closet room now where the bags are on display, and the dust bags are folded underneath the bag so that the bag is sitting on it. Meanwhile I stuff the bags with air bags or bubble wrap.
