GUCCIGAL:Good idea with the white handtowels. Why do you need to let the clemence breath? Thanks!
My Kellys are stuffed and stored in their sleepers on their tissue pillows inside their orange boxes. I remove the shoulder strap and put it in its little sleeper and tuck the clochette under the Kelly's closed straps to keep it in place. I tend to wear them only a couple of times each month, so I don't mind storing them in their boxes.
My Birkins and HAC are stuffed with Scandia Down down boudoir pillows. The straps are closed but not placed through the strap "keeps." The bags are then tucked into their sleepers and laid on their backs on closet shelves.
My Bolide is stuffed with tissue, tucked into its sleeper and laid on its back on a closet shelf. The strap is tucked into its own little sleeper and placed inside the bag.
I recently posted about a woman at Hermes Madison asking Claude how to restore the shape to her Birkin. It was either Clemence or Togo, not sure which. He sighed and suggested that she stuff it and keep it on its back to try to undo the damage she'd done by not doing this on a regular basis (or ever, most likely). Claude's sigh wasn't very encouraging.

I fold, then roll a bathtowel (white or not) into a configuration that fits the Birkins (35), pull straps into position but not necessarily through guides, and store on side in their sleepers.
I don't store them in their boxes but I have all the original boxes.

There was an article posted here ages ago where a Hermes rep suggested the best way to store the bags was lying down, ie: how they are in their boxes (they said something romantic like "lying asleep on their little pillows"). It takes the pressure off the bag, and reduces the slouching over time. I store the ones I am using in my dressing room, standing up, and the others in their boxes, as 24 does. And like Pepper, I don't put the Birkin straps in their keepers.
I leave my babies on their sides also. Leathers like chevre are inclined to slouch and crease otherwise. It wouldn't matter as much for a slouchier leather like clemence.
Uh oh, the Hermes police are going to come and take all your bags away and charge you with negligence and abuse! You will only be able to visit them at prearranged times and only with a chaperone who will make sure they are returned to their proper sleeping positions!
Someday, will you do a thread with pics of your armoire if you haven't already?
Pretty please?
I keep her in her dustbag, with all the appropriate stuffing, and on her pillow each day I'm not using it.
I love the slut!
