How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[Fahrina]

Hi!
I keep my Chanels upright with a custom made handmade pillow inside it so they don't slouch
I don't bother with dust bags since I use and change my bags daily and I hate having the hassle of removing the dust bag or god forbid the boxes.
Forgive me, my bags are kept in my study room (somewhat)...

Here's my bag

i put clean towel inside to keep the shape good, place it inside dust bag and lay good inside it box

I've always wondered about whether it's best to store them vertically or horizontally. My theory is that it's laying down in the box for a reason even when stored at the boutiques....

Mine is kept in it's dustbag, in the box, laying down (chanel logo face up), but I always worry if i'm damaging it....

I keep my Kelly (jumbo size) standing up inside the dustbag, with stuffing inside. Seems to have held the shape quite well.

First, I would fold up a tee shirt or a baby blanket to stuff up the bag, then between the outer and inside flap I would put a Bounty paper towel to minimize imprints from the chain. Afterwards, I would store the flap face-up inside the dustbag. Lastly, I would place it into the Chanel box and it'll all go into the very top shelf of my closet

Store it up right is better, if you lay it down for long period of time, I believe the quilts would be less puffy due to the pressure.

Cute pillow, you handmade it on your own?? Btw it's better to wrap the chain up too with felt cloth or maybe put a felt cloth between the leather and the chain as the chain would cause dents on the leather especially lambskin.

I practically do the same except for tshirt I just left the paper it came with stuffed inside, I don't use bounty paper but the fel cloth it came with for the inside flap, put the traps inside the dust bag (mine is the classic) then i would place it on the shelf standing up...but the only thing I don't do is, to put it inside the box.. Do you ladies think I should do that as well. It is standing up and then the magnetic box behind it TIA

Like your suggestions the only thing I going to ask you is, Do you think I should do anything special with the straps? I use the dustbag exactly how I am supposed to, the straps for the top part to lay it down in front.. Ah! And Do you think you should put it inside the magnetic box? TIA

Glad that you like my suggestion. I keep the chain inside of the bag, but I don't keep them tightly, like leaving some space so that it is not pressing against the leather hard, slipped a felt cloth in between them, leave the chain loosely lay on top of the flap (like what you usually seen on Chanel displays). The rest of chain just keep inside the inner flap of the bag, remember to also slip a felt cloth between the inner flap and the zip part.

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

Thanks for sharing, I realize this is a better way as putting the front of the bag facing the front and then the chain in the front pocket resting in front is what i was doing. your way in the other direction is so much smarter as the chains rest at the back of the bag, switching all my bags now thank you!
