I stuff them with the orginal tissue paper, and dust bag, and then back into their orginal boxes. I guess I should take them out more often...I probably only take them out once a month ......I saw on other posts that you should not use the black dustbag for light colored caviar bags (mine is the beige gst) to avoid color transfer? any suggestions please??
 
I'm using the new white dust bags from 2011 and tuck the straps in the top flap of the dust bag.

Does anyone else find the white bags (the very soft and cotton ones) very tightly fitted for their medium flaps? I havent used my med flap much but its always a hassel to tuck it back into the original white bag.

Yes- I do the exact same thing. I store my bag in the bottom bag, (very snug) and then put the chains in the top flap of dust bag and roll it down so it fits perfectly on top of the bag when its in the box. It is stored lying down.
 
I think the trick is to rotate/vary your storage solutions. Alternate storing them standing and laying down. Boxes are ok as long as you let them out to breathe (assuming you use them regularly, shouldn't be a problem). Wrap chains in tissue or the dustbag itself to avoid imprints.

I'm glad I read this thread so I can understanding that storing anything for long periods of time in the same way is always going to pull the bag in one direction or another. I'm guessing this is the same with shoes.
 
I stuff my caviar flap with acid-free paper and pyt it in a dust bag. I wrap the chain with felt cloth and leave it outside the bag.

When I use it everyday, i just leave it upright on a felt cloth on a desk.

But if i don't use it for a couple days, i store it in a chanel box, and lay it down.
 
Congrats on your bag. Bag storage has been discussed here, you may want to look for those threads.

I store my Chanel bags vertically inside the dust bags. If I have time, I wrap the chains to avoid contacting the leather. :smile1:
 
i store mine in the dust bag, the bottom of the bag go inside the pocket with the front of the back facing the back of dust bag, the chain go in the opposite pocket then flip the pocket with the chain over having the chain resting on the back of the chanel bag, place standing in my closet, i finds storing it this way i dont have to wrap the chain in tissue, the chain wont touch the leather of the bag because it is covered inside the dust bag
