I know I should stuff them, but at least they all make it to the top shelf in my closet safely tucked away in their dust covers.....Oh, and I keep those teeny little magic packets of whatever it is (silica) in them to absorb any humidity that might happen.
 
my coach, i stuffed with a some sort of cushion (given by the coach mgr) put it inside the dust bag and into a open-air cardboard, same goes for my burberry blue label.

As for my chanel, i put a short inside to stuff it, put it inside a dust bag and put it on a chair.
 
Hello ladies,

I hope this hasn't been covered somewhere else but I am moving back to my home country this fall and have some storage issues to deal with, namely that my bags will be packed, shipped and in storage for 3 months until they catch up with me at the other end. I have A LOT OF bags and would like to possibly sell some of them later to make space for new ones, so I want to avoid any crushing or damage. I would like to know how I should ask the storage company to deal with them? I don't have a great deal of Premier Designer bags like some of you, but I do have 3 vintage Chanels, a couple of Louis Vuittons, a couple of Fendis, a Miu Miu, and about 4 Guccis that I am thinking of keeping with me in my luggage whilst travelling this summer before I emigrate back home.

I should think that the others would be stuffed with tissue paper, put in their dust covers, then wrapped well but beyond that? Has anyone had any good or bad experiences that I can learn from?

Once there, I will be fitting out a walk-in closet and wondered how most of you store your bags? If it is alright with the forum admin, could anyone with dedicated storage post some inspirational pics so that I can get some good ideas?

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies :smile1:

I would hand pack the bags after conditioning and stuffing into properly sized boxes for shipping/storage. And I'd label all 4 sides of the storage boxes so I'd remember what's in there.
 
Condition and clean any wool ones. Stuff and store. Maybe toss some baking soda (or is it powder?) to prevent mildew. Oh, and wrap the chains in tissue paper and tuck into the bag. Otherwise, the chain could leave an imprint.

You might also want to see about insurance, just in case...
 
All good advice, thanks everyone.

Now does anyone have some good closet storage pics? Shelves? Hanging storage? A combination of the two? Am wondering what to do in the new place. :confused1:

I guess i'll post this here since i didn't find it posted already in another thread...(sorry in advance if i missed it)

Does anyone have any suggestions to offer about purse storage at home? I don't have the biggest closet in the world, right now my bags all live hung up (either in their dust bags or not) on the back of my closet door on various hooks.. but it's gotten pretty out of control and i feel they deserve a better storage system... Ideally something better to replace my vertical system.
Links to good storage systems or pix of what works for you would be greatly appreciated! (keep in mind, closet space is at a minimum)
Thanks!
