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.

Hi Samanthatyy,
Yeah, i always wanted to wrap the chains with something but I'm not a fan of felt since they are not that strong enough and they fray/tear quite easily...
I finally manage to commissioned (yes, I am paying) my mom :graucho: to make the ultimate Chanel bag pillow and chain wrap using black velvet... Lovin' it! What do you think? :D Now, that is a great way to keep my Chanel bags ;) I'll call them Zzz Sleeping Bag!!!! My mom found that funny.... Oh well...

Wow this is good!! The pillow seems very good especially in the velvet material! And the chain wrap seems solid! This would be nice and convenient to protect the chain from forming the dent marks on the leather, now you just have to store the bag standing up right in or outside of the box. So that the back quilts of your baby would be always puffy :heart:

PS: your mum is so kind for making these for your baby! And how much she charged? :graucho:

Hahaha!! Thanks a bunch, dear!!! I'll let her know ;)
As usual all my Chanel babies will have their own pillow and chain protector! Yeay!!!!
I'm paying RM60/each (after much begging)... I think I got a good deal since the ones online (on eBay are going for more than twice the price and are made of felt) For your info I have 18 Chanels :rolleyes: ... Unfortunately she only accepts cash term... :sweatdrop: Hahaha!!

Hi!
I keep my Chanels upright with a custom made handmade pillow inside it so they don't slouch :graucho:
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. :p
Forgive me, my bags are kept in my study room (somewhat)... :P

I love the custom pillow item. Might have to try that.

This is a great idea; maybe I will get out the machine and make little strap holders for my chains. Pillows might take a bit longer. Your mom is so cute and smart!

Yeah it does, bgyoshi! ;)
I was worried that the chain wrap would be heavy but it turned out quite light since we always worry about lambskin getting dented by the chains... and I love the feel of velvet! my mom made an awesome call on that one.... :D

I don't have a gun vault...what do they look like? Do they have air circulating in there? Please make sure they don't get shot! Are they temperature controlled environments? I'm guessing they aren't like wine cellars. Those I know about.
