Do YOU use your dustbag?

Yikes! I need to take better care of my bags! Some of them are in dustbags but they are not stuffed and are laying flat. In fact, I have them all in 2 drawers on top of each other. Hmmm....maybe that's not such a great idea.
 
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!

Don't leave it in plastic. It's bad for the leather and if you live in a humid environment it can encourage mold. Def get some kind of cloth covering for it. If not a generic dustbag then put it in an old pillowcase like bakeacookie says or even an old cotton t-shirt.
 
I store all my bags (when not in my 'current use' rotation) upright on the top shelf of my wardrobe, stuffed with tissue paper to maintain shape, in their dustbags.

In the current rotation, I'll typically have one or two workbags and one weekend bag. They all sit on an occasional chair in our front alcove so I can pop the one I'm using straight down as soon as I walk in the door at night. In the morning, I either pick it back up or do a swap of cards/wallet/cosmetics etc into the bag I want to use that day on my way out the door :D
 
Yes, all my bags stay in their dust bags (except the one I am using), some stuffed with tissues on the top shelf on my wardrobe. Even all the small accessories go back into their boxes, pouches or dust bags.
The only thing on display is my jewelry but every piece has a dedicated space in the jewelry box.
 
I always put my treasures in their dustbags, although may occurr that humidity make them smell of mould...
I check very often if this happens and then I wash immediately the dustbag.
Anyway, I think it's better to use them for protecting bags and they're so chic...
 
Yes! I always keep my bags stuffed with pillows or other soft materials to hold their shape and keep them inside their dustbags. They are all stored on a designated shelf in my cedar closet. The other day my sister-in-law was over and we were doing "show n tell" with our bags. She couldn't believe how good all my bags looked, many which are older than hers. She said she noticed a real difference between mine which were properly stored, and hers. If I buy something without a dustbag, I use a pillow case to protect it. I do have one bag out right now because I use it daily.
 
When I had them out in the open on shelves in my closet, they were all in dust bags. I hated how I couldn't see which was which so I bought two enclosed cabinets to hold all my bags and I do not keep the dust bags on them anymore. I just open the cabinet doors and see everything I have. They are stuffed and there is space between them. AND they don't get dusty. It works for me ;)
