I store my bags in a display cabinet in my closet room so I can look at them everyday :D I don't wrap the chains but I make sure they are placed in way that doesn't cause denting.



I think it's great that some people go to the effort of packaging their bags up each time, I'm sure it can only be a good thing BUT I want to see my bags, I couldn't bare having them hidden away & plus the effort would be too much for me :giggles: When I put on my outfit I then choose my bag, I couldn't be unpacking & packing them up every day. .



The only thing I would say about storing them in a cabinet (mine has doors so no dust gets in) is to make sure there is no direct sunlight streaming in from the windows onto the bags, mine are facing the opposite side of where the sun comes in - otherwise I'm sure it would fade them.



I say keep them out - those bags are made to be seen & admired, not hidden. Don't stress about them too much otherwise it can take the fun out of owning them :winkiss:

I like how you store your bags. I saw some videos on YouTube of glass cabinets for bags and shoes display. I love them! They're hard to find though.

I am nutcase, I store all my bags in the dustbag with all the flannels that they came with and I place back in their boxes.

I do this, too. I have a bureau for bags and they're all like organized and in boxes and stuff -- I don't baby my bags when I actually use them, but I do store them well.

As an aside, I keep the authenticity cards/receipts//tags, etc. separate from the boxes -- that way, if everything was stolen (I was burglarized once before so I'm generally paranoid about this type of thing), I would have everything to prove that I used to have the bags…

I'M the nut. Lol.

Great ideas ladies! It's interesting to see how everyone stores their bags. I don't own a ton of bags, so everything I have is just on my two shelves, and I rotate through all of them on a regular basis. I just bought a piece of flannel material yesterday and I'm going to line the shelves tonight so it will be soft and I won't have to worry about the shelves scratching the bags, but besides that I feel pretty good about just sitting them on the shelves since I'm constantly using all of them.

I just keep my authenticity cards inside the bag but I like your idea to keep them separate. I baby my Chanel bags way too much, they are not my everyday bags I only wear them on vacation and weekends, but my everyday bag has been through the ringer. My mother says that one of these days I'll start tying a bow on the boxes everytime I put my bags back.

Haha -- I love that -- tying a bow! But for real, when they are all nice and packaged, there is something really fun about getting a bag out. It's ALMOST but not quite like opening them brand-new all over again!

i love your display of bags. I remodeled my closest and put shelves in it to display my bags. I love looking at them. Recently, i found some clear shoe boxes at the home goods store and bought some for my bags. There are even air vents on both sides of the box. I'll take pictures when i get home tonight.

Of course, I do not store the bags I use often in these boxes.

I do the same thing, with the same thought -- if my bag was ever stolen, I'd have proof that it's mine!

I'm the absent minded one. :) It seems I misplace things (with a life full of boxes, it's understandable for the here and now), so I take photos when I buy things now. If I get an e-receipt, I copy it and save it to a receipts folder. If I get a paper receipt, I photograph it and save the photo to the same folder. I also take a photo of the bag with the authenticity card to prove I own the bag (I've tried also with the sticker but it's just too hard to get to in a M/L, so I figure the receipt, bag and card are good enough). That way, someone has to steal my computer and backup hard drive as well, and the kinds of thieves who take bags don't necessarily take hard drives (I hope anyway). That way they are also quickly available to send in an email attachment to my insurance company should anything happen. I should send them to myself, too, so they are in "the cloud," only that's not such a secure place these days...hmmmmmmm.

I do this too. I scan all my receipts, warranty cards, authenticity cards and keep them on a hard-drive and also my PC. I include photos of the item including the serial number if I can get to it. I also photocopy the receipts as in time they can fade. I am very conscious of keeping accurate records.

Im pretty careful with my bags - i dont have lovely shelving like you ladies. Instead its just the one big shelf ontop of the wardrobe. So i have to store the bags properly. For my classic flaps i tuck the chain in and use the felt wrapping on the flap provided. And then dust bag and box. For my Jumbo i have to wrap the chain left exposed on the top of the bag to stop it from denting the leather. Its caviar - but the jumbo chain is so heavy so i do it as a precaution. I dont do it for my M/L. I have to say package my GST and boy with less care. The boy is just on the side in a dustbag ready for use. and i put the GST in the dust bag and lay it flat...When i move somewhere bigger i will look to get some proper shelving in....loving the diplay boxes and the bag bed idea. heheheeh

I take mine out of its box, place the strap inside the bag, wrap a piece of cloth where the chain touches the skin, put in a closet away from sunlight, put a silica gel (anti-humidity) package inside the cabinet, change it once every 2-3months. For all the hassles of storing my Chanel bags and others for many years, I do not know the right way of storing my first Boy. I just leave my Boy on a dressing table...
Any thoughs on best way of storing Boy?

I store all of my bags (Chanel and non-Chanel) in their dust bags, lying on their sides. I put clean, rolled towels inside to maintain shape. For my YSL and Chanel bags with chains, I pull the chain inside the bag and wrap a small towel around it. Don't want the denting!

I used to display my bags on the shelves, out of their dust bags. To be really honest, I stopped doing this because I have a cleaning lady and don't really want all of my nice bags "out there". Not even for theft reasons -- it just makes me feel like I'm being showy.
