Thanks for the tips! Would cloth storage bins work? I want something that looks presentable, but I want to stack my bags on top of the other. stacking dust bags doesn't really look nice. My shelf isn't that big either, its 4ft by 1ft. Currently, I can fit only 4 bags on it, which isn't ideal.

Thank you ladies for all of you thoughts (some are funny! )..lol...anyway, here is the gun vault I was talking about..this is as tall as I am from the floor. It does not have any air circulation which was the thing I was worried about. And I have taken out my chanel after reafing you alls comments. I guess my lvs will be out of there too. I dontbhave very many bags..3 chanel and a few lvs in canvas. Attached is the pic.

A gun vault for Chanels is so funny, but I totally understand. Lol... I would love a vault door to my closet (hee, hee). I think one of the housewives of New York or was that Kris Jenner of the Kardashians that had a combination key pad on her closet door!!

I mainly store all leather bags upright in their dustbags but left them open and untied to let the leather "breathe". Storing leather in close spaces tend to allow mould to grow on them as well. A chanel SA ever advice me that if I store them in a close cabinet, I should air them occasionally - which is what I did - left the cabinet door open for a half a day or so monthly.

After reading thru so many reply.. I am wondering if anyone store Chanel bag like me. I place some hook on top in my glass cabinet and let my bag sit then hang the chain to the hook above (my bag is still sitting). I did not place it in the dust bag. Did I store it wrongly? Will it get dusty or dirty as I don't put in dust bag? I do close my cabinet glass door but there is a little gap on the side way still. Thanks.

I think the way you store them is excellent, and the gap is enough to let air in to circulate. If they get dusty, you can just dust them off. If you notice they get a lot dusty, then you can just put a cloth on top, but I think it will take a long time for dust to accumulate unless they are doing construction near your place. I think your idea is great!

Personally I don't think they need to be in a dustbags, but I put my bags together side by side, so it was more to prevent accidental color transfers. As for dust, check your bags a few months later to see if dust accumulates!

Thanks all for the input. I got curious because seem like everyone put their bag in the dust bag and I don't. I don't think it will get dusty fast too. Ok, I will continue to store it this way :D

I just got my 1st classic flap (2nd Chanel) and I store it similar to you, but instead of a glass cabinet I have a good sized closet in the Hallway right as you exit my bedroom, I keep my Chanel's on the top shelf. For my classic flap, I stuff it, place a soft cloth on the inside on top of the flap, wrap the chains with another soft cloth (loosely so the leather in chains breaths) then I hang the covered chain straps on a hook, the bag looks like is sitting up on it's own but it's not really touching the bottom (just to make sure it keeps its beautiful shape & the quilts don't flatten) last step, I throw the Chanel dust bag over it, it keeps it dust free. Well the real last step is to make sure I lock my closet! Haha... Thanks for letting me share

i store my flap with a small pillow stuffed inside it. it's vintage and has become soft already that if i don't stuff it well, it just doesn't hold itself. and when it's collapsed, the leather just wrinkles...

Hi guys I am not sure if I am posting at the right place but for storing of your flaps and jumbos, isit better to place it facing up or down in the box? And why? Does it make a difference? Thanks and I hope it does not sound like a stupid question

If it helps I was just shopping at Chanel in NY yesterday and asked them the same question. They said you don't need to store it in the box but they recommend you take your flap or any bag, pulling the chain inside, wrapping it with tissue and stuffing (so bag keeps its shape), if part of the chain lays on the very top, insert tissue underneath it as well as under the flap, then putting it in its dustbag and storing it right side up. They said it will prevent it from denting or loosing its shape. They also told me to not condition the bag with anything, only use the natural oils from your fingers, that is if its lambskin. Hope that helps!
