I didn't know this.
I always keep my bags stuffed and in its dust bag. I do put those desiccant gel packs in each dust bag. There's also a Thirsty Hippo in the wardrobe where I keep the bags. I tend to change my bags pretty often and will clean the one I am using before storing it.
I usually also give the bag I plan to use the next day a once over just to ensure it's pristine.
My oldest bag (8 years old) still looks good so I guess it's working?[emoji28]
I have all my 40+ bags on shelves without dust bag ever since few SA from different brand suggested to me 2 years ago. So far everything is still ok. Having bags out on display also makes it easier for me to see what I want to match with my outfit. And I think we wouldnt mind rotating more often too.
I feel like keeping bags in the dust bags might lead to them getting more scratched especially those with chains. When I started putting them in dust bags, I have to make sure that all the chains and hardware aren't digging into the leather. I feel dust bags are a bit unnecessary unless you live in a really dusty area or where your bags can be exposed to the sun.
I have not used it yet but now after seeing all these posts can understand the necessity of using the dustbag.
Hi ladies, I was at hair saloon recently n saw article from old magazine on how to store our beloved bags.
In the article, writer advised switching to cotton pillow case if dustbag provided is too thick or in dark color. The resin is because storing inside thick dustbag doesn't work well if we r living in tropical country with high humidity.
Pillow case with thread count 200 is good, nothing above 400. Thicker isn't good for breathability. Breathability refer to how the fabric allows moisture vapor to b transmitted through the fabric this keeping moisture level low inside the bag to prevent growth of mold. N get while or very light color, avoid prints.
As for some people who use dehumidifier, the writer also have guidelines on how to set temperature according to which country we live in.
Unfortunately I can't take the old magazine with me lol. And I'm not good with explaining. English is not my main language. [emoji23] I've been told that my English sucks!

I used to live in one of the most polluted cities in the world, and I found that leaving my bags out left the hardware to oxidize pretty quickly. It wasn't a particularly humid place, so I personally blame pollution. I think it really depends on the climate of where you live
Yes on some of my bags, but not on the ones on my regular rotations. Makes it easier to see, style, and also grab and go!⚡
I only keep the bags that I don't use all that often in their dustbags. Those that I do wear, I just stuff with paper to maintain their shape and put them on the shelf. Eye candy
But I do keep all of the dustbags, I never throw them away.

I usually keep my bags in their dustbags when I don't use them, especially if they're more expensive. If it's something I use daily, I'll leave it out so I can take with me when I go.
