My SA suggested to store, and actually packed it, so the leather strap is cradling the bag, and then the chains are wrapped in tissue paper on top of the bag.
I'd really like to know this too! I store my boy the same way as they did in store, chain inside the bag, the leather through the top and then stood upright in the dustbag, the same as the picture although that isn't mine I'm just too lazy to go upstairs and take a pic!
I'm concerned though about storing it upright as I've read that boy bags suffer a lot from corner wear and as mine is only stood upright when it's being stored I'm not sure if it would be better laying down?

I wouldn't worry too much about the chains touching the stingray though as I can't imagine it will leave a mark, it's very hard! The rest of mine is calf though, I know some of them are lambskin but not sure about the burgundy?
I store mines just like this as well, I'm always using it so I don't have time to pull it in and out of boxes!

this is, from my experience, the right way as well. you rest the chain (or leather strap, if it has one) along the top with tissue or a soft cloth separating the handles from the top of the bag. very easy to do inside or outside the dust bag and either standing or lying down.
I don't put mine in the box because I use it often. Actually, I think seeing the bags makes you use them. And it takes too much time packing and unpacking anyway.
My thoughts exactly! Seeing what bags I have makes it so much easier for me to grab the ones I can coordinate w any outfit...
Hi ladies... And fabulous guys!
I've been having a problem with my leather Chanel Boy bags that is really irritating me.
I store my leather Boy bags stuffed with the tissue paper that comes inside, kept in their box or just in the dust bag.
However, I have noticed that over time the bottom part of the bag starts to sag down a little, it doesn't stay flat.
Does this happen to you? And how do you store your Boy bags?
It doesn't happen with my patent Boy bag. That stays rigid. I have sold 2 leather Boy bags because of this issue, I can't get past it! It's slight but I'm slightly OCD about proportions and like certain things to look perfect. I have space - shelves and cubicles - but I have a lot of bags...
Would love to hear your advice on how you store.

It's lying down... Should it be standing up?
Should I just take them out of the box and stand them up?
Great idea Bella !!! Are these hooks the ones that are used for table tops, when your in a restaurant and there's no place for your handbag? Also, your collection is beautiful dear !!
Is the box lying down whilst the bag is lying down inside the box?
Sorry if the question sounds silly [emoji12]
From my experience and my FA bestie advice (which has worked for all my bags all these years), Chanel bags are better kept in the box like how it came when you've brought it.
After you're done using it let's say after a day out, it is better to let it stay out airing for maybe a night or so before you wrap it back and place it back in the box.
For boy bags, some people like standing it up so it doesn't crease the back of the bag, but I think depending on your boy bag's material, it shouldn't always kept standing, becoz I feel like bottom/edges will curl [emoji15]
Thank you my dear [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Yes I got a pack of 12 table hangers for $6 on Amazon.com over the summer.
