Keeping bag inside a box isn't good because no ventilation. The leather needs to air it. Nowadays I try to make it a point to take out all my leather bags to air them once a week. :smile1:

If i have the white baggy, chain in one side body in the other.. standing in the closet.

If its the black baggie, chain is tucked in or neatly placed to the back.. also standing in the closet!

I tied to reorganise so all my double flaps got the nice white soft distbags and the boys get the black drawstring ones :laugh: i tried to hang them all but I prefer the look of standing covered bags!

All my bags stand to attention in their dustbags aside from my Falabella and LV beach bags. They are too floppy! And i throw all boxes away. Waste of space. I also loathe those sticky camelias!! Never keep those!!

This is true, none of the bags should be stored in their boxes - if you do this in a high humidity climate it sure could cause some lovely mould to grow !!
The boxes are for transportation only, the dust bags designed for storage as they allow the leather to breathe.

I shall have to remember to get my bags out once a week for an airing too - great idea !!

I also prefer the bags in their dust bags and standing up. I do keep the boxes though but I only have one new from boutique bag so that is not hard - but I understand if you dont have much space or buy a lot of Chanel the boxes would be a problem.
I ADORE the Camellias and I am so disappointed I did not get one when I brought my WOC from the boutique in Brisbane 2 weeks ago :crybaby:

I am with you! I don't really care for the Camilla although they are nice to have but I don't know what to do with them.

I keep the boxes in case I need to sell any but bags are kept in dust bags

But I store my boy bags like the white one in the middle. First pull the chains like that and fold the leather part to pull the metal portions into the flap. And I wrap the leather with white tissue paper that comes with the boys so the leather strap doesn't put weight on the top of the flap. Next wrap the boy flap with the felt comes with the boy to cover it up before putting it into dust bag.

Some of them are in stand up positions and some of them are laid flat depending on the shelf space I have!

Thanks very much for your description. I do the same with the handle. But i dont wrap the leather with tissue paper...i might start doing that. Also the felt wrapping you say that came with the bag...what do you mean i didnt get any. I only got a really big black dustbag :(...not as nice as the white dustbags for the classic flaps which looks so neat and tidy

I got a GST last October in beige claire. I have used her maybe 5 times and when i have been done with each use , i store here in the dust-bag and put her back in the box laying on her side.

My question is , is it ok to store her in the box? With my LV monogram bags they say do not store in the box for long periods of times for several reasons, but i am wondering if the GST could be stored in the box since it is leather.

I would appreciate your help with this!!

If you store it in the box, I would advise you to stuff the inside to prevent creasing as the bag will sag. Also make sure that you tuck the chains inside or wrap them in tissue to prevent them from making impressions in the leather.

I know there is much discussion on this topic in the gst thread. You can search that thread as well.

Congrats and welcome to the gst club!! :smile1:

I never store any of my bags in the boxes. I only store in the dust bags. Leather does need to breathe and that is what the dust bags are designed for, to help them breathe and also protect from the dust. The boxes are really only meant for transportation not permanent storage IMHO. But the GST will be fine if the handles are wrapped in tissue and placed inside the bag and the bag then stored in the dust bag.

I stuff mine with the tissue paper it came with and I store it on its back. You can also buy bag-a-vie pillows to store inside of the bag. The petite size was recommended to me if the bag was new and the medium size if the bag was worn/stretched.
