my sister gifted me her shopping tote! it looks just like the grand shopping tote, but is perhaps a medium size? it's not the petite shopping tote nor the petite timeless tote. i didn't even know chanel made a smaller size than the grand, but it is absolutely perfect for my petite frame.

anyhow, i am wondering how you ladies store yours. specifically, i would love any advice on how to help it retain it's structure and shape. it's got a little slouch to it now from use and age. i'm a little OCD and would prefer to not let the slouch get worse. thanks in advance!

Store it on its side or laying down flat to keep it from slouching further. When you carry, try putting in a plastic "base" as many here have done. Congrats on the tote! :)

You can store it upright as long as you have nothing inside but maybe pillows or paper to keep shape, if you are choosing upright, the base tutu is recommending you would be very helpful (that's how I did mine) of course, always inside the dust bag no doubt and if possibly not inside the box (no need). You can also lay it flat like others do, I am just an OCD person (my friend tutu knows how much OCD) and I would be concern about flattening the quilts a bit even when is caviar😜. Hth

I figure that if you are still using the bag now (you have stuffs in it), better lay it down on the side because if you have it stand up, the leather at the bottom part below the back pocket starts to sag, which freaks me out. I think volume makes the bag 'fatter', thus weaken the original stiff leather that makes the bag stand straight - hope that makes sense. But when you have the bag empty/not used, then you can store it standing up.

Hi! To prevent chain marks on the patent bags and how do you gals store your patent bags? Let us share. Photos provided will be great ya! :smile1:

Pretty much store them the same was as non-patent, just a wee bit more carefully to make sure the patent leather in the chain doesn't come into contact with the bag itself. There have been threads with photos before; one person showed a step-by-step photo process of the bag in one side of the white dust bag, and chains in the other, flipped over. Some have hooks above the bags that they "hang" the chains from. It all depends on how much space you have for storage. A search should bring up the photos. You're not just trying to prevent chain marks, but from having the patent in the chain sticking to the patent of the bag (and yes, it can happen and the results are not pretty).
