Hmm creases and wrinkles don’t sound good...mine is a soft lambskin on the sides so I wonder if that would happen to mine too. I will monitor it!

Never happened to my lamb WoC, still looks new after 15 years.
I realised that could be due to humidity, I get little bugs or aka booklice growing on the boxes and afraid mold will attack my bag I took all my bags out threw all the boxes. Stuff my bag and let them sit up right and have bunch of dehumidifier beads around dem.
If u air it or there’s like good ventaliation it’s fine just don’t put it directly to sunlight. You can just get 1 box of thirsty hippo beads and put there to use : if it’s humid I will scare of bugs/book lice too.
Hey I realised it too, I use a chanel19 pillow and stuff hanky at the back to prevent the sag. Aft a couple of use I realised the back will sag/sink in but aft my stuffing method it’s fine like back to shape. Don’t let it sleep ! It will sag at the back. I’m fussy as u!
Hi! I have a brand new small lambskin flap and used it tonight for the first time. I stored it in the dust bag with the original felt it came with, one underneath each of the flaps (So two pieces of felt total). I also pulled chain to the side and tucked it in, and stored the part sticking out on top of bag wrapped in tissue paper.
Just want to confirm this is correct!!! TIA!

That's what I use that pocket for, for my caviar cf and calfskin reissue. My bags have been fine.
That is great to hear! I might be wrong but I feel like there are so many who tuck the chains in the bag but it seems like that could potentially be damaging. I suppose whatever works works!
I agree I do see this frequently but I never do this. I always wrap the chain in tissue and tuck it into the dust bag pocket. I also have purchased some chain wraps from samorga which can be used to cover the chains and then I tuck them into the dust bag pocket. I do understand that there is some way to pull the chain into the bag which doesn’t damage the bag but I prefer not to do this just in case.
I actually placed my lambskin cf on its side like the photo above.
The chains are tucked in the other end of the bag (with a paper placed in btw the chains and the bag to prevent imprints on the leather) .
The flap is left open to prevent further wrinkling and the open flap also provides more support standing this way .
The other part of the chains are left dangling like the photo (but the chains are wrapped in soft paper) .
I was advised to place the bag this way to prevent wrinkling forming at the base of the bag (if it were placed standing upright ) . Since the sides of the bag are sturdier so there will not be wrinkling on it's side like it would be on the the base of the bag if it were left standing upright. The bag is empty except for bag inserts
I think there’s no hard and fast rule - depends on the bag and leather etc. I have bags where the chain is stored inside the bag, but cushioned between paper so the chain isn’t in contact with the interior. I also have bags stuffed with a bag pillow and the chains are outside the bag, but I place felt between the chain and the bag to present any marking. Unlike most people, I store my bags on their backs in their boxes and haven’t had any issues with quilts deflating etc.
I don’t use my dustbag for storage so I never noticed a pocket for chains lol
I store mine on their side like this but I don’t wrap the chains
It is for the chain, for years I did this to my oldies and they were always fine.
