I leave the stuffing inside, wrap the chain, inside its dust bag and box laying down. My mini flap is still in excellent condition.
upright for me... no creasing as of yet... I once had a vintage which I stored laying down and the quilting became so completely flat at the back!
i store mine in its back inside the box. mine is a caviar so i guess it will hold up pretty well even if i store it standing.
i recommend to consider stuffing your bags with soft paper when storing them. It is a trick taught by my mother and seem to be doing good to my bags so far. Can be a bit of a hustle if you change bags often, but worth the trouble for expensive designer bags like Chanel.

My Chanel's are kept lying down now. One of my bags has a crease/squish on the bottom right side because I always kept her sitting upright. Biggest mistake, the squish won't pop back to its normal shape anymore
mine too! it's on the left bottom corner and I would push it from the bottom towards up so the crease will puff out, but it goes back to its wrinkled self anyway.
I guess I'll go and forth leaving it upright then lying on its back with the paper tissue stuffing. Wish i could hang it by its chains on a clothing hanger though, but that would probably ruin the handles.
Thanks for everyone who responded and shared how you store your Chanels!

this is quite the dilemma for me as well! I spent hours reading the thread on how to store bags and I'm still confused! I feel like there are pros and cons to both.
I got so paranoid that started to lay my Chanels flat on its back on something soft...like towels
My reasoning was that if I lay it on a softer surface, it wouldn't completely flatten the back.

hi kisenian,
I agree. There seems to be a lose-lose situation no matter how we store it, but your towel idea have me thinking about using pillows and let my flaps sleep on it since that should prevent the quilts from deflating, and it wont weigh down the edges of my bags that'll spur more creases, so thank you!
