I love double flaps too!! I like the structure, and it just give the bag a more luxe look and feel IMO.

I store mine with the chains not tucked in, but wrapped in two soft shoe bags, on it's side.

I do not pull the chain in on both sides....I only pull it on on one side and leave just enough out to fold the tissue paper around it. If you pull in the chain too much than you risk it leaving a dent on top of the bag..So only pull in the chain on one side...I am putting together a "how to store" info post with pictures so that will be up very soon..I had a lot of difficulty myself at first with handling the bag and how to store it..its like having a child for the first time :laugh: i was super careful and scared to do anything with it and was soooooo gentle with storing it. Now that I am more comfortable I know how to handle it better without scratching it and how to store it without being scared.. So look out for the post!!!!

THanks - I'm looking forward to the post. I'm doing something wrong with my Medium - I leave the the chain on the outside top of purse; the small portion that goes through the 2 holes leaves indents on the inner flap, which is lambskin. This is bothersome to me. Any pictures will help

THANKS

I appreciate the 'hidden' compartment behind the inner flap. Once I was searching high and low for a receipt that I needed for some warranty issues and panicked thinking I'd lost it. Then I remembered that compartment and there was the receipt sitting snugly inside. And to think that was the reason why I'd put it there in the first place- for safety. Lol :)

Thanks for sharing Sarah. I wonder if I can do the same with Patent double flap. I always feel I can leave the chain mark at the bag edge when I try to tuck the strap in. So I just leave it outside. Is Patent flap that fragile when it comes to storing?

I NEVER button the inside flap and honestly I don't mind the flap nearly as much as I thought I would.

The only thing that does bother me is the zipper on the outside flap digs into the inner flap and leaves a mark. I've already told my SA about this. They should have chosen a smoother type of zipper when they designed this. Besides the zipper on the outer flap is useless IMHO.

Would pulling the entire length of the chain and stuffing it into one side of the bag make the flap lopsided or uneven a few years later? I find it awkward to stuff it into one side and im scared it will eventually change the level of the flap.

yea i also hang up the chain. some weight will still be on the bag but probably 10%. i do this to my single flap jumbo n medium flap. another medium flap i am too lazy to do anything. LOL

I purchased a cerf tote about 6 months ago.. and for some reason the sides won't stay folded in.. I was even tempted to use rubber bands at night so that they would stay creased!! I'm not going to because It would obviously leave a dent .. When I took it to the Chanel store they just said it is the "nature" of the leather.. but I've compared my tote with others and It looks much different!! I've been trying a zillion ways to store it but still nothing.

Also, has anyone experienced the middle bag detachable bags to pop off a lot? I gave up on using it because It would just snap right off the sides.

:( help!

Yes this bag gets "slouchy". I have had mine for a few years now and I store it with a bath towel inside (I have never used the snap pouch) to try and keep it upright but it still flops :smile1:
This is just the nature of the bag! I love it though because it is "structured" yet soft not rigid :tup:
