Hi everyone, thanks to another TPF member, I have come up with a new way to store my chanel classics. I use linen draws from the container store to store my bags in them so I can see them better. I also bought hooks to attach inside the draws to hook the chain for the jumbos so they don't cause any damage. This method allows me to enjoy my bags and easily access them. I leave the doors open to ventilate the bags and close them at night. The doors are clear so I can still see my babies.

what a perfect moment i revisit this thread! after my method of storing, i was thinking it doesn't look lovely especially after there are quite some bags with boxes here and there sighh. the box is great Dira! the thing is, i still like the strap to be able to fully be lifted right above the bag (i feel it's safer for the bag structure and leather). do they have box with that width but higher than that? i think storing chanel's classic (boy also has bigger chains even) is one of a challenge in my life :laugh:

Hi Dira- my husband picked up the boxes last night for me. One question - on yours is the plastic window all scratchy and spoty?? Just don't know if they all look like that or if they gave my husband a bad few boxes. I don't want to go back to exchange if this is the norm on those plastic windows

I rushed out after work to Michaels and bought the hooks BEFORE THE SNOWSTORM - will be doing this later today!


Other people sit in traffic to buy food and other essentials.. I guess for me this counts as "other essentials" :laugh:

You can get the heavy duty jumbo hooks I guess for the boy bag. I don't own a boy so I really don't know much about the chain thickness and if it will fit. For my jumbo since the chain is on the hook there is no weight on the bag.

Yes some are perfect clear and some have spots not really an issue for me.

Hi there, I use the shirt size for the jumbos standing up and the large sweater box for the two ml's see pic above.

Hi Dira! Thank you so much for sharing your storage/display solutions. I have made 2 trips to the Container Store already..and will make another one this coming week lol.[emoji6]
It's so refreshing to finally see them in their glory. No more hiding in dustbags. I have limited closet space so this is a brilliant idea. I used the sweater box for a small just mademoiselle, wocs and slgs. The shirt box on its side for my jumbos, seasonal bag and camera case... and on its normal configuration for 226 laying flat on its back. I also bought the shoe box for a vintage clutch.
Because they are now visible and easily accessible, I'm definitely using them more. It also lessens the itch to buy another Chanel bag, hahaha [emoji4]

I'm glad you ladies like the boxes, another TPF member used these boxes (the sweater size) for her Birkins and hence I thought I could totally make them work for my classic bags if I add some hooks for the chains. I feel like I was buying new bags without realizing how much I already have because my bags were all wrapped up in their black boxes, out of sight out of mind syndrome. So this helps me to appreciate what I have and curtail any unnecessary spending.

One more tip, if you don't use your bags often, keep the door open during the day so your bags can breathe.
