Guess you just have to carry them at all times.
HA, you are a genius! I may have to use your idea.

At first, I only hang my reissue flap n medium/large lambskin flap in this way as I couldnt keep their straps inside the bag. So I left my 2 caviar jumbo just sitting in my wardrobe. But, later I found that one of the corner of my red jumbo is a bit/slightly sagging. Ended up I hang them all in that way...no choice. What do you guys mean by "paper tissues"? Do you mean regular tissues? My bag didn"t come with any tissue paper. Is it ok to wrap regular tissues around the chain/ can the leather in the chain still breath through the tissues?
^ I'm wondering that too! Sorry I'm such a noob. Just got my first ever M/L classic flap Chanel in Caviar
and I'm getting anal about storage (after reading this whole thread) as I live in a humid country. Someone please help! TIA!wow hippo@alice, this method is cute! but really need a bigger wardrobe.
for me I simply put them in dust bag n in box... yeah, and put them in my wardrobe together with "thirsty hippo" or silica gel. Touch wood so far no mould haha. I would take them out once in a while to see them. I put them in upright position, with tissue wrapping the chain. For double flaps, I'll just pull the chain to both size and wrap top, so far no unwanted marks.

I have always been told that if I'm going to store a leather bag (leather, lambskin, etc) that it should be taken out periodically to "breathe" ... it makes sense to me. I've never heard that you shouldn't store a bag in a dustbag ever, just that you should take it out from time to time.
Earlier in the thread it was said that if you store a bag upright the sides will begin to sag. Is this true in lambskin or caviar? Does anyone have pictures of this? Because I'm not sure if I believe that will happen with a caviar bag because of the structure of the bag.

I totally agree with the first part.
Yes, both the caviar and the lamb could "sag". I remember seeing before and after pictures from a tpfer who always stored her bags upright and then began to store them laying down and what a difference! At first, when she stored it upright, it looked like it had shrunken next to a new Jumbo. And after a couple of weeks, with having it on its back it was back to normal again.
But this is just what I saw from that thread, I can't promise that it's actually true.. Don't remember the name of the thread or the tpfer I'm afraid, long time ago..
And this is how I store my flap:
In the dustbag, laying on its back, but not in the Chanel box
This is how it looks inside the dustbag
The tissue paper is protecting the leather from the chain
I also store it with the little "cloth" that comes when the bag is purchased
Stuffed with tissue paper and the chains inside

Sorry about the bad pic... This this is prob half of my collection... the rest are either laying around my apt (totes, portobello etc) or like my 10C blue roi kept in its box and taken out to breathe every once in a while.. The ones that can't stand up on their own (hidden sequin, 10A muliticolor etc.) stay in their boxes.
There is little pieces of tissue paper in between all the flaps/cam case and none of them are touching.

NYCavalier-good watermark! And rows of books followed by rows of purses-What else is there? This is like the poster I saw: justification of higher education-(poster had a bunch of Ferraris parked in this beautiful beach front house.)
