Hi guys just want to ask a help.. I noticed my bag is leaning forward or bowing down? It is more than 3 years. Is it expected to happen to jumbo? Can I do something to revert it or stop it atleast. Thank you so much!View attachment 3756142
Hi, I will like to know if anyone of us have difficulty storing your chanel bags?
I have this phobia of the boy thick chain collapsing on the top of the bag while in storage which will somehow flatten the top of the bag?
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

I'm pretty picky about my bags but I love seeing them out so no dust bags for me. I never get dust on my bags so I don't see the need. I arrange all my bags (and clothes) by ROYGBIV rainbow color order. For sake of illustration. I took a picture of my beige / grey / metallics shelf.

I store my bags upright and stuff them with old clothes - lightly enough not to stretch but fully enough to keep the shape. Then I put the chains inside the bags so they don't make an indent on top. I don't pull the chains too tightly because I also don't want an indentation on the edges.
I use a protector in between the top flap and the body to protect against indentation.

@elise_chua & @hautestuffx - I actually think the boy bag chain is the easiest to store because the connectors are on the side of the flap vs. coming out of holes on top of the flap like the classic. You can see how I store my chains in this photo of my gold Boy. View attachment 3756681
how did you store it? did you put the chain in front? it should not look like that if you store it properly and it's common for the classic bag to hunch forward if not stored properly. i'm not sure if you could reverse that. i store mine with the strap hung above it and don't forget to stuff it too. it is a challenge to store the classic's chain the right way.Hi guys just want to ask a help..

love seeing others put extra effort storing their bags. reminding me i'm not the only one ;D. i used to think i'm so crazy doing all this stuff to store a bag BUT when i see those bags still look brand new with the nicely supported structure, that's all that matters. it's not a nice sight though if you open my wardrobe with bits and pieces hanging to support the structure of the bag ;pHi guys, im kind of new to Chanel and bought a chanel jumbo this year.

i do mine similar to this with the velcro being a fridge handle cover cheaper and softer in satin material lolz.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?

I've read multiple posts that said the bag shouldn't be stored long term in the box because the leather needs to breathe. Chanel can store the bags in the box short term because they aren't keeping the bags in the boxes for years on end. But we consumers may / will.I personally don't wrap the chains. Just put the bag inside the dust bag and in the box so that nothing is pressing against the bag. It'll keep the shape nicely and the chains won't press agains the soft leather.
I'm no expert, but I red many times here on purseforum, that you shouldn't keep them in the boxes to prevent mould and to let them breath.I'm nervous now because I store my Chanels in their boxes especially since I do not want to throw out the boxes. Is it best to just store it outside the box and in their dust bags? I always put packing in my bags to keep it to form. What do you guys do with the boxes??
This is gorgeous!! May I ask what the name of the unit is called and the price? Thanks for sharing
