How do you store your bags or SLG's?

[Guy Chanon]

As @CornishMon said, there a several threads discussing this. For me, if it's not my daily bag I will clear everything, stuff it and put it an its dust bag and place it in my semi-transparent wardrobe along with other bags and SLGs. However, if it's something I use daily, I would just leave it as is in the wardrobe and wipe it clean after a couple of use.

In a dust bag on my closet shelf
Several threads have noted not to store in the box as this could cause the canvas to be damaged over time hth

Thanks for all the positive feedback I decided against the round bench, as it was priced so high ($4500). Hubby made me a great bench with some goodies from Amazon!

I want to come and live in this room lol

Bags in dust bags, slgs in dustbins in their boxes.

I keep seeing vids with gorg custom closets and bags and accessories are closed up in cabinets and drawers. I thought this wasn’t best for them though?

I feel like such a goof for asking this, but what does the acronym slg stand for? I figure it means smaller items like wallets, etc....? Does it mean small leather goods?

It took me a bit to figure that out as well. I kept reading “slg” all over the forum until a lightbulb in my head finally went off.

Anything I’m not using I store them in their respective dust bags and/or just have them placed somewhere with nothing heavy pressing against them.

So basically I don’t use my lv handbags very often. There stored in my closet in there dust bags and I do have central air because we don’t want any mold. Anyways. I usually go and check out my bags every single day I’ll open my closets to get more ventilation in and leave it open for 5 mins or so and close it even tho there are cracks in the door but yea. I’ve been stuffing my bags with bubble wrap and I’ve started realizing that there’s been this odor. It just started happening. I took the bubble wrap out of one bag that I smelt didn’t smell right checked if there was any mold and there was nothing perfectly fine. But the bubble wrap developed this gross smell. Is it safe? What should I do? I need help ! Someone help me.

I don't bother with dust bags anymore. My bags are in my closet, but I don't close the doors fully in order to allow them to breathe. They are stuffed with cheap pillows from IKEA to help them keep their shape! My SLGs are on the shelving on top of my closet, and some of my favourite pieces (occasionally swapped out for other pieces!) are in this display cabinet from Amazon.

Plastic is pretty porous and will pick up odours easily. Think leftovers in tupperware - if you’ve been storing fragrant foods in them, they often retain an odour even after being washed.

Though you’re airing out your closet daily, the vast majority of the time it’s closed, so I don’t think it’s surprising that the bubble wrap is absorbing odours. It’s highly unlikely imo that it’s harming you or your bags, so you’re safe there.

If you’re still concerned about the plastic, maybe use something like tissue paper or bag shapers in its place?

This is a fantastic idea, I love it! Could you please share the link for the display unit? I love slg’s and have about 30, it would be great fun picking and choosing which ones to swap around. It must be a hard choice for you, I remember that you have amazing limited pieces.
