As some may know from my previous thread, I have adopted a pre-loved Chanel Jumbo Double Flap bag from 2011.

http://forum.purseblog.com/chanel/my-preloved-reveal-so-exciting-871160.html

Now it came with everything apart from an original dustbag.
From my understanding the dustbags come with two compartments, one for the bag and one for the chain. Fashionphile have sent me their dustbag which is nice and a perfect fit, but of course is not a double compartment dust bag like Chanel's is.
But how do you pack the chain???????

I have looked at purse pillows (such as bag a vie) and even chain sleeves on eBay but still wonder how it all works?

so my question is:
1. Do you pull the majority of a chain back into the bag and into the flap?
2. And the bit across the top just wrap with tissue?

How do other ladies store their bags if they don't have the classic flap dustbag?

(photos would be appreciated) :smile1::smile1::smile1:

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 personally think that this is the best method. It stops the flattened quilts that result from laying the purse flat and stops the bottom corner creases that result from standing the purse up straight. Why doesn't everyone do this? Is lack of space the only reason? Is there some major flaw in this plan that I am missing? Lol

Well I don't baby my Chanels half as much as the other poster(s), but I swear by hanging them up by their chains whenever possible. Keeps the shape best IMO and is perfect room decoration ;-)

How do you ladies store your boy? I'm a little confused as to what to do with the chain? At the moment i leave the leather chain out but fold it so its like folded in half held by the two loops and then put the metal chain bit inside the bag. Its not as obvious what to do compared to the classic flaps. Do you store it standing up?

My daughter pulls the chain inside and stands hers up - looks lovely.
