For those who store their bags in boxes, don't forget to place silica packs inside the boxes to prevent growth of molds. Refresh and recharge these packs periodically. I also bring all my bags out 3x a month so they can breathe.
When store in a box, it is actually will deflating the quilted.
Therefore, I put them in 100% cotton bag and hang up in the walking closet (the bag covers its chain as well), with its bottom just merely touch the box, which would not sagging nor deflating in a long period of time storing.

one of my best purchases IMO!
This is how I store my GST:
In the dustbag, laying down on its back, but not in the Chanel box
This is how it looks inside the dustbag
With the handles tucked in and stuffed with tissue paper
thanks for this!
can i ask for if we use the GST everyday, and there are stuff in the bag (weight), should we still store it lying down, or upright? will it flatten the bag.?
This is such a helpful thread.
Anyone can help with pics on how to store the chain of M/L which has double flap? I think mine also got some indentations from the chain.
Half moon WOC should be more fuss-free right? Doesn't matter if upright or lying down?

Although I don't use it everyday.. I, personally, try to store it laying down as much as possible to keep its shape.
Will it flatten the quilts? When ur using it and storing in lockers, do u still lay it down?
I actually don't know. Perhaps.. Yes, I always store mine laying down. That's the best thing to prevent sagging. But perhaps a con is "more flat quilts"..
Double flap: I wrap the chains with a spare dustbag outside, and use two pieces of folded tissue paper to cushion the chains in contact with the inside flap. I stuff the bag with another dustbag filled with plastic bags (supermarket ones). The bag goes inside the Chanel dustbag and I store it standing up.
Flat bags: Chain tucked inside, stuffed with tissue paper, dustbag stored horizontally.
Large camera bag: I remove the chains, place them on the bottom inside of bag. Stuff it with A LOT of tissue paper, and store it standing up, inside the dustbag.
That's it!

Haha for me, yes. But other people might prefer the quilts, I'm not sure. Haha, we'll perhaps you'll find a way soon.
Thank you so much
It's so funny that you say that. The GST was my first Chanel as well and then I got the Jumbo. It's really the perfect flap for me. I love it to death.
How do your store your Chanel bags when they're not in use? Or any bag for that matter?
I like to cover them with their dust bags and store them in the box, in the closet. I heard that you shouldn't store bags in their boxes b/c they need to breathe or else they'd crack over time. Is this true??
