Do YOU use your dustbag?

[MsInternational]

Yes, I put my bag in it's dustbag when I know I won't be using it for 1-2 days.

I rarely use my dustbags even though I always plan to. Good reminder for me to put all my bags in their dustbags now!

I always store my bags in their dust bags, never can be lazy about it because it would be on my mind constantly if I didn't, lol

 

[CrackBerryCream]

I store the ones I use less frequently in their dustbags, the other ones are either standing in my closet or on the floor...

I never stop using a bag long enough for it to get dusty so I tend not to bother with dust bags. I suppose if I had a light coloured or suede bag I would use them because the get marked so easily.

I always use the dust bags, I always get so OCD about storing my bags. They must have something in it to retain its shape and be in a dust bag.

 

[applecidered]

I should take better care of some of my bags lol! I do stuff them with old sweatshirts but haven't gotten around with dustbags.

always and stuffed!

All of my purses/handbags are in a dust bag (if it came with one), or in a pillow case. I have many handbags, and take very good care of them. Whether Michael Kors, LV, Marc Jacobs, Dooney, Cole Haan, etc. All are stored when not in use.

 

[MarianaSM]

Always it makes my purses always organized and protect them.

 

[KRZE1234]

ALWAYS. I stuff the non-sturdy ones and I have them in several black closet boxes I got from Ikea. It's actually quite a job rotating them everyday so I change bags every 5 days. I always take 2 out, put my wallet and other crap:giggles: in 'em, put them back in their dust bags and put them near the door. I take out one bag with gold hardware and one with silver/brass.:blossom:

I slide them in their dustbags (or shoebag or pillowcase if they didn't come with a bag) and leave the ends open (pointed out towards me) so I can see which ones are which easily. I don't have all that many (12) so it's a pretty easy task to keep track of them. My goal is if it doesn't fit on the shelf I have made for the bags, then something has to go to move another bag in.

 

[Lita Sixx]

Yes, i use the dustbag in every single one of my bags except for the one i'm using currently, which i keep on top of my dresser

I use my dustbags when storing my bags. However, I've read a that many of you also stuff your bags so that they retain their shape. Is it necessary to stuff one's bag? Any suggestions on good stuffing material to use?

From previous threads I've read, old cotton tshirts are good or acid free tissue. Apparently the tissue you get with bags has acid in it that can discolor the linings. And I think the same may be true of the air packs you can get, but am not really sure about that one. To be safer, if I am using some airpacks because multiple tshirts would make it too heavy, I put them inside an old tshirt so the tshirt is touching the bag interior, and not the plastic air bags. Some people also make or buy cloth pillows for bags that need to retain their shape.
