2 weeks ago I was faced with a fire evacuation. Over 20 yrs on our little farm, we have never been this threatened. We gained much perspective that we have a lot of stuff that doesnt matter! And we need to get organized. My new plan is to encorporate ready to go storage. Not to totally live out of boxes, but make it easier to pack, should this happen again. I am also making a master list while I unpack, so it will be easier and quicker. Started unpacking today.

That being said, it was time consuming rounding up all my LV stuff. My handbags are all in dustbags on a shelf (easy to box them up when needed) So all my SLG, Pochettes, EVAs, straps, & luggage tags Ive put in LV boxes and labeled them. They will actually be easier to find and use. I can also grab them quickly for evacuation. (hopefully we are not burglarized) But then I found this thread that says dont store them in the boxes. I feel like a plastic tote wont let them breathe and is not as attractive. Im in California, its dry here. Please consult and give me another ideas0-18.jpeg.

I've also thought about this, if we have to evacuate for a hurricane or for some other reasons.
What and how would I grab most important papers, items, etc. I figure I have receipts for almost all of my Louis Vuittons except for a couple that were delivered these last few month without receipts. But some LVs you might never be able to replace.

I used to have a list of the most important items to get and where I have them But, over my moves, I haven't kept up with it. Would be good to make another list and plans!

Thank you! :heart:

Sorry for the late reply! I bought the unit on Amazon. Here's the link on the UK website! It's really sturdy and looks very nice, I think, for the price.

Inter Link Display Cabinet Collecty, Black/white

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.

This is great. I also heard about not putting slgs or bags in boxes. My bags are in their dust bags not in boxes. However, I keep many of my slgs in their box and some in a drawer with just the bottom part of the box.

To prevent moisture, I put 1 or 2 little packets of silica gel in each box. I collect these packets before I throw empty med/pill containers. Some of the silica are even in this cute little cylindrical plastic container.

Since you’re using larger boxes with more items, perhaps throw in a few packets. Just sharing what worked for me. I also live in CA :flowers:

I did the same with mine, but took the tops off the boxes to let them breathe. If you don’t want to completely remove the tops, can you store the boxes somewhere where you can just lay the tops out behind the box so the items can breathe?

I store my bags in their dust bags and put them on a shelf in my walk in wardrobe which doesn’t get any sunlight, I live in a dry climate with no humidity but still open the dust bag for the bags to breathe once in a while. I wish I had a larger wardrobe so I could have better storage of them though.
