What if you use your bag every 2-3 days? Do you still go through all this ( wrap chains, felt, in the box etc)?
i put the chains in the bag then the bag in the dust cover and both in the box.
i have not put tissue around the chains but that is a great idea and i will do it.
my east / west flap came with a styrofoam in the perfect shape that keeps the shape of the bag. i wish every bag came with that!

Inserting cut to fit Styrofoam! What a great idea! I think I am going to try this tomorrow. Wrap felt around a piece of styrofoam & put it in the bag. What a genius Idea, Thanks for sharing!
I use a 100% plain cotton shirt for some of my flaps, and have the chains hanging out (where the neckline of the shirt is) and I wrap the chains with tissues. I also keep the bag stuffed with bubble wrap or tissues to maintain the shape before I store it inside the box. HTH 
Thank you for the photos princessjacqui. You're the sweetesthi luvchni,
i finally posted pics. here you go!
. Unfortunately I didn't have any Styrofoam or cushion foam lying around the house to try it with my bags yet. This looks much better than what I'm doing now. I love this idea! I'm definitely going to do this for my bags as soon as I can.Thank you again for your help & for sharing

you're welcome!
i purchased this pre-loved and the gal gave it to me with the foam in it. i'm pretty sure she bought it from the boutique that way. but my other flaps (jumbo and m/l) purchased from the boutique did not come with it! I wish they did because the foam make it keep its shape so well!
I treat all my bags with respect and love! I store flaps uprigt in their dust bag, chains always inside! GST lays on the side; in the Mix tote lays on one side without further attention, it is currently my most frequently used bag.
But - accidents happen: one time I had the chain made HORRIBLE imprints on the outside of the flap of a lamb M/L black classic bag (it was not stored witth the chain inside the bag, but was laying on the face with the chain underneath it for longer time, wrapped in the dust bag and locked in the box! Oh horror!). It looked permanently damaged! I wouldn't believe until I witness by myself: all imprints disappeared by just rubbing gently the lamb leather with a moist cloth (no further conditioner). Lamb leather is not so sensitive as we all think! This flap looks like brand new again!
