i store my bags just in the dustbag.. not in the box because i'm afraid of mildew and mold... and i store the chain on the inside of the bag.. and i lay my bag on it's bag..

i know ppl say that it'll make the cushiony bubbles flat.. but i would rather have it flat on the back where no one will see it then on the front.. and if you store the bag standing up then i'm afraid of sagging..

In the standing up vs on its back debate I would go with lying flat. Here's a picture of my vintage med flap which is in mint condition except for the crease on the back, which I am guessing is from being stored standing up by its previous owner. It doesn't bother me since it's on the back side but I will def be storing this baby on its back!

I'm a complete dolt when it comes to Chanel (doing my research before getting my first in July hopefully :yahoo:), and I was wondering, if you were to hang your bag by the chains so it was suspended and not resting against anything (and not stuffed with anything heavy) would this prevent the sagging/flattened quilts? I assume the chains of the classic flaps don't stretch?

I read on internet that stuffing bags with tissue will attract moths and to instead stuff with bubble wrap so thats what i've done with mine.

Has anyone else heared this and knows if it's ok to use bubblewrap for stuffing a Chanel bag?

I store my Chanel bag in the box without put on the dustbag. After reading a few pages from the front, I change the way I store them. I put the plastic paper in the bag and put on the dustbag on every bags and that's it. Let them outside the box.
Is that okay?

I just got my jumbo and am having trouble storing it. Its caviar, so i dont fear the chain marks too much but still want to store it correctly. It would be a lot easier to store if it was single flap but I have the double flap jumbo. Its awkward wrapping the chain after pulling most of it in towards the inside. Then, I have the fear of the chain making an imprint on the side of the bag since it has to go in between the small hole on the side. Its even harder to close the bag with the chain inside because the double flap gets in the way. someone please give me some advice!!!

Actually, I've never heard of moths being attracted to paper. Not saying that it isn't true, just that I've never come across that information before!

I store my bags in the dustbag and in the box. I take all of them out once a month to breathe and also I can look at them and back into the box. I notice if I don't put them in the box, it gets really dusty. I'm not sure on Chanel but with LV bags with the Patina, I called the LV number and they recommend keeping the bag inside the box because it will slow down the oxidation of the leather and having it turn to a darker brown color. I bought have an LV bag from 2003 and it's always in the box and it looks like new without the patina since I kept it in the box.

I think if you can air it out once in a while and the place is not humid, it should be okay to keep it inside the box since that's how the store keeps it. I check on them every month to make sure they are ok by taking them out and letting them breathe........

So far i always kept my reissue stuffed with paper, wrap paper around them and put in the box. Since reading this thread i am thinkin to reconstruct my closet so i will get enough space to line them instead of stacking their boxes.
btw, i didnt get any dust bag for my 255 reissue purchase. is that normal?
and inside the bag i found 2 pieces of flanel cloth, anyone kno whats the use of this flanel? i used them to cover my chain.
