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.

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!!

How about stuffing it with the stuffing tissue paper to give it structure, and then hang it by the shoulder chains on a hanger with clips (like the ones that they hang pants on with the 2 clips)? :p

I store my WOC (with the chain inside the bag) in its dustbag in a drawer in which I use for storing scarves/shawls. That way it stands up but doesn't slouch or is crushed. Hope this helps, I've had the WOC for well over a year and use it fairly regularly and it still looks like new so storing it that way seems ok.

Here's how I store my bags in general. To be honest the stacked boxes are still full with my most recent purchases [emoji23] my boyfriend built me this simple shelf a few months ago but the holidays made me outgrow it sooner than I expected [emoji24]

But I don't bother stuffing my bags or wrapping the chains. I do put my patent pink jumbo on top of its white dust bag though to prevent it from sticking to the black shelf.

I love seeing how everyone store their bags!

I'd just like to share why leather needs to breathe. I'm one who used to store my bags in their dust bags and into their boxes.

Well now I'm afraid. I don't wear it often and store it in the box. Well well well... it grew mouldy :yucky:

I find the Chanel boy much easier to store than the classic flaps.

I have the leather strap part placed under the bag, the whole bag placed inside the dust bag. then the gold chain remains hang out in front of the dust bag.

I'm not sure if it's the best but I find it sturdy enough haha. Now I'm feelin more awkward bout my classic flaps

Good question. i'd like to know as well. Is there any risk that the corners might be danaged when it is standing?

Meant to post a photo re: this question but didn't use my boy bags for a few days so didn't take photos. Used my mermaid bag today so while I was putting it back I took a photo first to share.

I tuck the chain part of the strap inside the bag itself first, stuff the bag with the papers and then close the flap. This way, only the leather part remains outside. Then, I tuck the leather strap part under the bag. Next I have a big rolled up bunch of stuffing papers (purposely way bigger than needed so the bag never "stands" on its "legs/edges" on the bottom of bag). The paper keeps the bag "off its feet" so the edges won't "curl" over time and also helps prevent "weight of the bag sitting on top of the flap's edges/corners.

Front and side views/photos.

Then it just goes inside the dust bag and my Ikea storage box that has a color photo of the bag stapled to the door/flap.

HTH!

I absolutely love this set up and the bags you chose. If I were you I might spend my days sitting in a chair facing the unit just admiring the bags! :loveeyes::wtf::giggle:
