hi, mind sharing a pic of your dry cabinet. And what brand are you using pls. Thank youHi I set it to the lowest humidity, which is around 50-55RH. I don’t take them out to air at all and so far the bags are doing okay
Should the classic flaps be stored with the flaps completely closed or is it okay to keep them open? I went a bit overboard with the felt and I don't know if storing it this way is doing more harm than good and causing a crease on the back. Here's pictures.

I just put mine with stuffing.. in the dustbag with the chain in the separate back compartment provided for the dustbag and close mine with the felt inside so zipper put no dent marks on inner flap
Just wondering if I travel to Asia and humid country, will the bag be okay to stand a week full of humidity? I'll be staying at my friend's house so I think it's impossible to bring dehumidifier to their pkace to protect the bags. Are molds growing easily within days?
For a classic flap (or any structured east-west style bag), no. But for a bag that is more prone slouch over time, definitely. I use them in my hermes bags and have been pleased with their ability to help keep the structure.
Hi babe, I think it shouldn't be an issue. I live in Singapore (very humid) and I keep my CF in its dust bag but air it once in a while, and I don't have a dehumidifier.
I store my bags in the boxes. Most are not in the dust bag because it’s black and the bag is a different cover. Unless it’s tweed or all black, then in goes in the dust bag.
My bags are protected by the paper and felt they gave or I also add soft paper towels on top to avoid the chains from touching and rubbing against the bags.
I really don’t understand why most dust bags are black… The last time I bought a light colored one, the SA took it out of another white non Chanel dust bag. That’s the way it came in, brand new and never touched! Then she gave me both but clearly the white dust bag isn‘t the normal Chanel black one.
I air out the bags here and there when I don’t use them.

Just purchased my first Chanel classic flap last month....so a newbie to the brand and have been reading a ton about how to store the bag etc....
I just ordered a pillow off of etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/836332...36332671&click_sum=b1f249d9&ref=hp_rv-2&sts=1
Should I be concerned about using this in my new classic flap? I was using a t-shirt before ordering this...after reading about different fillers I want to make sure this won't damage my bag in anyway!
Appreciate any advice/input!

Just make sure it's all natural fibres
If you're using regularly, should be OK anyway.
Living in a humid city compared to a dry metro city, I now store my bags upright, stuffed with tissue or clean cotton wash cloths/hand towels in their dust bags with the top of the dust bag exposed. I don’t put them in their box because it does not allow them to breathe and can cause them to mold. Dehumidifiers are a must in humid climate. I place them inside the bag. I let my bags breathe every month by giving them a couple of days to lounge around the house.
Do u all store the bags standing upright or lying on its back? Would standing upright for prolonged period of time, cause wrinkling at the base of the bag ? Coz others say lying on its back will cause the quilts to deflate. Therefore, to stand upright or not?
Does the bag wrinkle at the base of stand upright for long?
That looks terrible really. The bags will misshapen n squashed up
Does anyone know what causes wrinkling at the base of the classic flap caviar? Is it storage? Cause I seldom use mine n starting to see creases forming the the corner base of the bag, back n front. I leave my bag standing upright n stuffed with paper
I put them on their back. I haven’t noticed anything. Most of my bags are caviar.
I don’t see why they would deflate though as they seem very rigid. I never even think it was possible.
However if you put them standing without the box I could see why the bag would sag as it ages and becomes softer if you use it a lot, especially lambskin.
I have heard that rotating from standing to upright can help. Not sure?
Depends on the space you have in your closet!
