I store mine in the dust cloth with chains wrapped in a cloth outside of the dust bag and in its box. I also rotate ever two weeks the storing position from laying flat to standing up. To be more crazy I bring my bags out of its box to breath for the day 2 times a month.
How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

Hi, it's a good idea to rotate the position of the box from laying flat to standing once in a while. My only concern for this is the position of the chain. If i put it inside the white dustbag pocket chain compartment in the front, i'm afraid that it's gonna make the bag 'hunch' to the front. The same concern also goes to if I decide to put the chain at the back. In which position do u put the chain when standing? Back or front of the bag? Do u feel that the bag structure 'hunch' when doing so? TiA
Ok I saw a great tip on You Tube about classics and the White dust bags.
Instead of putting the bag in facing forwards (facing the front of the dustbag where Cocos head is) but it in so the back of the bag faces the front and then tuck the chains in the pocket of the dustbag and then fold that back over so the chains are then sitting on the back of the bag and not on front of the bag so the bag wont get a lean forward. If that makes sense? I can take a photo later to show you if that helps?
I brought a preloved Jumbo and she did lean forward when sitting up but once I switched storing her "back to front" in the bag, she came good and I have never had an issue. It seems much better if the chains are in their pocked laying on the back of the bag.

Good Idea, I'll go home and try after i pick the bag up tomorrow haha! Cause I was told by SA to put the chain infront of the bag and put it in the box. But sometimes its so troublesome to open and close the box although I find it comforting to know she's being kept in a safe place from the monsters in my house HAHA!
I was advised by SA do not put the bags in the boxes. Just put in their dust bags. And once a while take them out or pull down the dust bags to let the leather breathe. I find that important. Also, use a dehumidifier in your shelf (or where you keep your bags) due to Singapore humid weather.
I uses the bag pretty often whenever I can =) So i think noprob haha, once inawhile I also take it out and admire and smell the leather LOLS!!!
The SA in all boutiques always say never to store the bags in boxes as they are leather and cannot breathe in a box. So just the dust bag is good
I keep my jumbos in their dust bags, the chains are inside the second pouch. I keep the chain part behind the the bag lying on a small pillow. This way the weight of the chain is on the pillow not pulling behind or in front of the bag. Although the very top of the bag is exposed I put a thin piece of tissue paper to cover it. I hope I described it correctly.
I think I love your method best. I'll copy exactly! Thank you so much for sharing. Off to find mini pillows.
I think it has really helped. Also I have them sitting on a few small baby blankets so the bottoms are cushioned. I know - I know it's crazy but I'm trying to keep them as nice as possible.

I copied you and I start off with the cushioning of the bottom first. Hee. I'm seriously running out of space. I'm looking forward to bigger space of my new home in another 6 months to come. Definitely need to improve storage space.
i guess i should remove my bags out of the boxes!The SA in all boutiques always say never to store the bags in boxes as they are leather and cannot breathe in a box. So just the dust bag is good
