I store my Chanel Classic Flaps in their dust bag and sitting on a shelf in a cool dry place (Never in their boxes) I use my boxes for decor only. I am currently having issues with how to store my Boy Bag bc just like you the chain worries me. i am storing it with chain lying in front of bag with tissue paper protecting the the sides where the chain lays. i need to insert a pic for you bc its hard to explain!!!
How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

Hi mmaya,
I just manage to google this.. I think this will work well?
Planning to customize this Velcro wrap..
Chanel SA mention not to store the bags in the box as we need to let the leather "breathe"?
And also to store it leaving on its back instead of upright for the fear of the sides sagging down.
Is she right?
Thank you
this is exactly how I store my Chanel Classic flaps, but not lying down, bc it can flatten the quilts on the back . Its so true that we need to let the leather breath and it CAN NOT be stored inside the box. I purchased the chain wrap from a company on eBay. I cant recall the name at this moment, but I will get back to you 
elise, for classics, I store them upright in their dustbags but with classic bags, I leave the chains inside the bag. With my boy bag, I leave the chains hanging out outside the dustbag as I find them it flattens the quilts if I store it in the above picture as the caviar on my bag is not the rigid caviar.
Still hanging mine from coat rack.
I try stuffing, felt & putting into dusty(with that nice chain pocket).
But, eventually, creeps back onto coat rack.
Just easier to see & grab.
Ah well.

Hi guys, im kind of new to Chanel and bought a chanel jumbo this year. I am so scared if I am storing it properly.. Im afraid to have any kinds of dents and losing its shape.
Please please give me your opinion on how I store my jumbo.
1. I Stuffed the bag with tissue paper and put felts in the flap..
Then.. here is how I store the chain
I use a velcro to put the chains together
I put the chains inside my extra LV dustbag
Then I placed an empty box at the back of the bag and laid the chains on top if it
Then i wrapped the exposed chains with tissue paper
All your suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you so much.ladies.

If you browse this thread you will find many good suggestions. I use pillows and dust bags to store mine, see below. Congrats on your new Chanel flap, it's gorgeous!
Wow you make me feel like a bad jumbo owner! I mostly store mine on the table since I use it 2/3 times a week but if I were to store it for like a month I'd just put it in the dustbag with the chains tucked in like it was at the store.
i just purchased it in caviar. I don't have any tissues other than the black tissue looking papers they wrapped the bag with. I threw away the white tissue paper they provided that they wrapped the chain with. How can I protect it when not using it?

Any advice on how to store a Chanel bag upright when it won't stand up by itself? I don't want to lay it flat on its back or lean it against anything as I am worried about the quilts losing their puffiness. The bottom of the bag is folded (but when I stuff it, it does expand out) - see attached picture. Sorry if this is a ridiculously silly question - getting paranoia over storage after reading through some old threads!!

well, the quilts are already flat. i would store it flat..
Thanks for your response. Am storing it flat at the moment. I'm keen to avoid the quilts getting any flatter! I've seen some pictures where the quilts are almost punctured looking and some where the quilts look like they have indents.
it's flat already so store it that way. the indents and punctures you see on other bags come as a result of storing the chain against the bag for long periods, or leaning it up against other bags. i'd store this one flat with the chain inside and probably inside a drawer instead of a closet, b/c it appears more like a clutch. from what i can see.
