Ladies, we get asked that question all the time!!! :))) If you'd like to keep you leather items looking beautiful I strongly recommend to use dust bags to protect the leather against scratches while storing. Also, do not store light colored leather next to dark colored as darker shades could transfer and cause irreversible damage. One more thing, please avoid spraying perfume near leather as it can affect its color!

THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this advice - it is much appreciated.

What about bags that you use very often ? Putting them in a dust bag for a day doesn't make sense. Is it a good idea to empty a bag, stuff it with tissue paper and lay it flat on its side in order to maintain the shape and let it rest ?

Well, I feel like an irresponsible bag owner now! I never use my dustbags. I used to all the time, but then I found that I would tend to just use the bag I was currently using. Once I took them all out of their dustbags and I saw them on a regular basis, I starting rotating them way more.

They are stored in the closet room where the blinds stay closed so there is not sunlight on them. And I don't notice the closet having much dust at all. I just like to be able to see them so I am more encouraged to rotate them and actually get some use out of them. :)

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 :whistle:

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:laugh: !

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

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

Absolutely.

100% of the time.

Never used to, but have seen the toll it has taken on some bags. Now, all the important bags in the collection are stored in their bags, and given room to breathe, and where required, stuffed.

I change bags daily, and although I get lazy at times, I normally come back home empty it into a lil drawer I have for "purse contents" and store it in the dustbag and then put it in shelf. But lately I'm feeling I should have some exposed (some particular ones per month) so I make more use of my bags.

You change bags everyday?! Wow! I wish I could do that but I have to force myself to change every other month or so.

To the original OP, I store all of my bags in their respective dustbags, in the closet. And those that didn't come with one or were missing, and I'm talking about bags that I really love that didn't come with them because they're not on that level (Abbey Road Bag Lucky Brand), I put them in old pillow cases. Even in the closet there's dust creeping around so it's better to keep the bags protected.

Currently half my bags are in dust bags, the rest are out on "display" :)

I go through phases where I'll either pack everything into dust bags in one go, or I'll pull every bag out of their dust bags just to enjoy seeing them out for a bit.

It's a small walk-in closet and it's nice to escape into it once or twice a week to visit my bags :)
