Do YOU use your dustbag?

[Younna]

Not only do I use dust bags, I keep my Hermes bags (2) in jcrew dust bags to throw off burglars!

Clever!

I use all my dust bags. If I finished using a bag it goes immediately back into its dust bag.

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.

This is great stuff. Thanks for the helpful suggestions...now to find some old cotton t-shirts

Do you guys clean your bag before putting it back into the dust bag?

I generally take a cloth diaper (unused of course ) and wipe down the outside of the canvas bags I have.

I keep my LV's in their dustbags and then I put them in the box they came in. Is that bad? Should they be kept out of their box?

I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I've heard others follow this same method of putting their handbags in their dustbag and then into the original box it goes. Plus, if you ever decide to sell it, the resale value is helped tremendously by the original box alone

I always use the dust bag. OCD = dust bag.

Yes i store my precious in their dustbag when they're not in use, if they don't havea dustbag I'll find one for them to wear.

Same here. I feel like I'm doing them an injustice if I don't. They deserve better, lol.

I store all of my bags and small leather goods in their dust bags. If not, I utilize little pouches for them. I also pick up extra dust bags while thrifting incase I lose a dust bag or a bag doesn't come with one.

Right now I only have the one Coach, which did not come with a dustbag as I got it from Factory online....I have been just putting it in the clear plastic bag it came in and setting it on my office floor....my hubby gripes that I'm going overboard, but I spent good money on it and I want it to stay nice!

You could use a white pillowcase!

All my bags are in their dust bags if not in use, I don't see them taking up anymore space than just the bags themselves so why not use them
