How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[MKress]

Hi! Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it better for the bag to be stored on its back, or on its base (standing up)? Would love your feedback! Thanks!

I store mine standing up but if I had a box than it would be on its back. Some of my chanel purses have boxes and some don't. Both ways should be ok. My bags are still in perfect condition.

Always stuffed and most of the time its back. I change the position to standing up every now and then (to avoid deflating of the quilts, especially for lambskin), but not for too long. This is how I try to avoid creasing/sagging issues.

Thank you! I currently store mine on it's back inside the dustbag. I had read lots of great info. in the thread dedicated to storage, but read lots of various opinions on whether or not standing upright was best, or on its back. The bag I am concerned with is my vintage XL, which is soft to begin with - I just wasn't sure if storing it standing upright would weigh it down too much and cause it to wrinkle up at the base.

At any rate, thank you!

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!

Do you mean lying the bag right side upwards, on its back? or standing it upright is better?:shame:

Here's how I store mine. I leave the door open once a week to let it air.

I usually store them standing up but my Chanel classic flap looks more delicate and is kept stuffed on its back!

I stuff mine with acid free tissue paper in their dustbag standing up...

I store mine standing up. It's just easier for me to see them....and they take up less space that way.

I know I got too many darn bags! I can hear my DH tsk tsking me!

Standing upright on its bottom. So I took mine stuffed it with tissue, put in into its dust bag and then set it upright on my shelf. Hope that helps

This is what I have been doing also - I figured since it is soft lambskin it would hold its shape better over time if I keep it on its back.
