I searched for "wool felt" on etsy and found a seller that sells 100% merino wool felt sheets. I had bought some of the acrylic ones from michael's in the past and switched out all of them with the 100% wool ones. I can definitely feel a difference!

Thank you for your recommendation. [emoji3] Will look into that. By any chance, is it Felt on the Fly?

I know what mean !! Your singing my song- The Ban island blues hahaha. I have mine sitting on baby blankets - how crazy am I? I don't care if my kids and husband thinks I am, I'm doing anything that will keep them looking good. They laughed at me when I jumped at the felts, my daughter asked "Mom what are you making? " When I told her what their for she rolled her eyes and laughed. She's 33 and has no interest at ALL in designer anything. Oh well my only granddaughter will inherent them all !!

This is how I am going to store my new medium boy. The hardware will be infront of the bag and the leather strap is placed behind of the bag. A Chanel dustbag will be used to cover up the exterior flap for protection. 😅

I store them in their dust bag with chain behind it which I wrap the chain in felt so chain doesn't get scratched on the shelf when I move it.

No box ever!!!! SA and repair manager at Chanel said Leather needs to breath and the box is a bad idea. They have seen many bad issue due to leaving the bag in the box.. MOLD

I also rotate them every other day by putting them upright or then lying them down on a soft blanket on my shelf.

I just bought my first boy and the chain leaves indentations on the outside I realized real quick. Luckily it wasn't permanent. I store the chain inside the bag and place the sleeper over the bag.

The most important thing in my opinion is that your wrap the chain in tissue paper. I have 3 boys and two of them have the black dust bag, one has the white one. I lay my bags flat in the black dust bags, wrap the chains and make sure they do not touch the bags (as not to leave indentations). My lambskin boy is in a white dustbag and I also wrap the chain with tissue paper. I store this one in the upright position with the wrapped chain in the top of the dustbag and not touching the bag at all. I also keep the original felt pieces on them and stuff them all with tissue paper. So far, not one mark:)

For what ever it's worth. I don't use a dust bag or fold the chain. I think it's important to stuff the bag to maintain it's shape (I have a lambskin new medium Boy) the chain falls either in the front to the back..I've never had any problems with indentations. However make sure another bag is NOT pressed up against the purse making the chain dig into the bag; i.e. standing like soldiers marching in order.

If there's too many barriers between me and my purses I find that I will not reach for them and wear them. But that's me.

I wrap the leather shoulder strap around the bottom part of the bag, tuck the metal chain inside the bag.


I don't want the bottom edge of the leather from "curling" due to standing for a long time (as I prefer to have bag standing vs lying on the back/front quilts), so I roll up a piece of wrapping paper (like rolled up newspaper) and simply tuck it under the bottom part of the bag (beneath the leather shoulder strap) so that it sort of "props up" the edges of the bag while standing up and take the pressure off them to prevent curling.


Then into dust bag and store in ventilated mesh shoe box like all other bags.

I have one caviar woc and many caviar slgs. I've been keeping them inside their felt pouch inside their original box stored upright. Is this the correct way? I'd appreciate any advice or comments. Thank you!!
