For my caviar flap, I just wrap the chains in felt and place it on top then I put it in the dustbag, which goes into the magnetic box that I picked up from Marshalls. FYI, if you don't have the Chanel box, using one from Marshalls is great!! Those are sturdy and well made. I forgot, I put bubble wrap inside the box so that my purse isn't accidentally laying flat so that the quilting doesn't flatten. Maybe I should leave it outside of the box due to possibly mold issue???
How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

I do have my original Chanel hard black boxes which I use but I've heard conflicting comments about just storing in their dustbag only versus using the felt dustbag and inside the box... Glad to know you also stick them in their boxes and have had no problems.
+1 i also store inside the bag and having a wonderful preserved condition (and leather smell) instead
Me too, I actually use Your method, Sakurai888, it is by far the best! Thank you for showing the pic to demonstrate.
Hmm I still keep my bags upright n they r fine
Not to put them in boxes esp if it's been used before. N also the humidity level where it's store. Moulds etc will grow when humidity Level is high
I don't have a system to store them so I use the most basic thing. So happened I have designed my wardrobe where there's a metal rod for me to hang my things. I think I must have thought of my bags when I designed my wardrobe as such.
I placed my bags on suitable boxes (lv) for the bag to rest upon. Then I use a hanger plus a S hook to hook one side of the hanger n the other on the bag chains (wrapped with felt).
In this case the chain pressure isn't on the bag. It's suspended by the metal rod n hanger etc. I don't have to worry abt back of the bag flatten too
Recently I'm. Quite lazy n just hang one of my lambskin bag with felt at the back pocket n hang it up but against a rod (part of the temporary furniture design!'h... Find the quilt a bit flatten Probably also due to tha cleaning of the bag by professional. Tsk
My area is quite high humidity so I don't store bags in felt cover. I sew my own soft cotton bag n put them inside
If th bag is store in the back n on top of the bubble wrap, the bag still has the 100% chain weight n 3/4 of bag weight rest against a bubble wrap thing. Feel that gravity will still make the bag rest on the bubble wrap n indirectly flatten the quilt. Maybe the damage won't be that fast esp the weight might happened to rest onto part of the bubble shapes (quilt isn't of flat surface) n some get absorbed by the wrap. Not v gd with my explaination. Lol. Hopefully someone can understand

I'm so glad to hear others store their caviar items in their original boxes without any problems arising. I have a new black caviar gst on its way to me and I wanted to make sure I'm not wrecking my bags by storing them in the felt dustbag and box. Thanks
I will keep the stuffings in for bags that need to hold their shape and straps or chains will be tucked away or wrapped up. I don't like seeing chain marks on the leather. Mostly they be in their dustbags as having them in the boxes will make it troublesome for me to switch around.

Glad to share Dear!
Can someone tell me if this is ok to store my jumbo lambskin?? I wrap the chains in tissue from Chanel just like when it was bought a few weeks ago. I then wrap the bag in one piece of white tissue and place the bag in the dust bag and stand it up. What concerns me is that the chains are wrapped just like new in a thick tissue from Chanel so there is no fear of indentation but by placing the wrapped chain on top , will that cause too much weight on the bag?? Every other way seems to put pressure on the exterior lambskin Doesn't seem like it would but from reading the thread some people have been concerned in the past. I have provided a pic of it wrapped to give you a look at how I store it.

I store it just like this pic with the chains wrapped like this but add one thin sheet of white tissue paper around the whole bag and then place in the dustbag and stand it up in the box - I don't want the wire shelving to indent the leather so the box provides a nice safe base to stand on.
