Here is my contribution to the storage thread. This is how I store the bags that I use more often. This system allows me to easily change bags without wasting much time.
1) I use one pillow inside each bag (see picture, no more paper clutter)
2) I store the bag with the chains outside (see picture, I prefer these storage bags to the ones from Chanel)
I still have the purses that I don't use very often inside the Chanel dust bags, but I am considering to replace those as well.
Thank you for posting this. I am now using the bag-a-vie dustbags and I'm loving how convenient they are. Also, they're super soft.
Ladies, I do have a question about the felt flap protector. I went to 2 hobby shops. The wool felt I found was thick. While the crafts felt was thin and scratchy, and made of acrylic/polyester. Any recommendations? TIA!

I also have concern w/ the felt texture sold in craft shop whether it'd be too rough for the leather or the hardware itself. I still trust tissue paper from chanel and tissue to cover up the hardware. I change the tissue cover everytime after using the bag
Hi ladies. I just got my very first Chanel . It's a black lambskin boy. I am wondering if anyone could advise on how to store a boy (pictures would be great!). I am especially worried about the metal chain causing dent/scratch on the soft lambskin leather. Right now I put just the metal chain part inside the bag and let the leather chain part wrap around the bottom of the bag and storing it upright in its original dust bag. Thanks!

Hi ladies. I just got my very first Chanel
Huge congratulations on your first chanel, you boy is beautiful !! I store mine with a small air bag wrapped in tissue paper. The felt that came with it under the flap, I don't latch the lock. I have it sitting on a few soft baby blankets. The chain and strap are sitting behind the bag on top of a shoe box so the weight of the chain and strap aren't dragging. If I'm not going to be using it for over a week I lay a soft white pillow case on top. I do this for my classic flaps too. Maybe I'm being over protective but none of my bags have any dents from their chains. Hth.

Thanks for sharing your tips on how to store the boy! I'll try this way tonight haha. Btw, your boy looks gorgeous!!
Good Evening kittymoomoo, I am sorry to bother you, may I ask if your dark red boy came with the red felt that you used to store your bag? My SA forgot to include felts with my reissue and I worry about using a black felt to store because of color transfer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I adore your boy it's a gorgeous piece especially the color. Take care and hope you are having a lovely evening.
No bother at all Fally, actually it did come with black, but I bought red felt for it just to be extra careful. I'm sure the the one Chanel gives would be just fine, but I feel better being on the safe side. I actually bought all my colored bags their own color matching felts from Michael's craft store. The only Chanel felt I use is my black jumbo. Thank you so much for your sweet words. I hope this helps, we spend so much money on these beauties so may as well do all we can to keep them beautiful. You have a restful evening as well dear.

Oh thank you so much kittymoomoo,
I will def. purchase from Michael's. You are the best. Take care, fallyOMG Dear aside from ur gorgeous red boy, my eyes are instantly drawn to the animals pattern underneath it. I got the exact same print on my vanity case i got from Macy's like ages ago. Do you store the boy inside it?
Thats so sweet Sakurai, Actually it's a soft baby blanket. I don't like to store my bags on hard surfaces. I know it sounds crazy, but I think it keeps the bottoms looking good. I've never seen this print on anything else, I'm sure this animal print is real pretty on a vanity case.
