Hello,
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I've done a search and could not find it. I have a 225 Reissue in aged calfskin. Wanted to please find out how those of you who have it, store yours. At present I have mine in a dustbag and laid down in the Chanel box. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

You should check out this thread "How do you store Chanel handbags". Lots of useful info there. HTH.

Hi all.

I have read a horror story of chanel bag getting mold after few months with an inappropriate storage.

How do you store your baby-sitted bag? I put white paper inside my bag and put them in an original box. Should I also include silica gel on the outside? Wouldn't it ruin the bag by drying the bag too much ? Thanks

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??

I stuff the bags ,put the them in dust bags and put them on top of the boxes.
I don't wanna get rid of the nice boxes.

Do you close your Chanel bag with the CC lock when storing in the dustbag? Or leave it open?

I just got my small CF three days ago and this is how I’ve decided to store it after stalking the thread! Similar to other ladies I stuff it w tissue paper and place it in the front pocket of the dust bag.

I then put the chains in the other pocket and have that pocket rest on the Chanel box that is placed behind the bag

Hope this way of storage is ok!

Hello,
I just bought a reissue 226 from the Chanel boutique which has a ‘pointed’ bottom, and was wondering how to store it. I could not store it standing upright since the bottom is not flat. Any thoughts or suggestions will be a huge help. TIA.

Mine is a tiny bit pointed but will still stand up if I drape the chain to the back.

Did you get the box with the bag? Could you use it to store the bag?

I have the same issue! I recently got the 226 as well and it came completely flat with the bottom pointed. I've been storing it with a book inside to try flattening the base out. The problem i have is that the bag doesn't sit upright on its own, so I end up having it lean against the wall, which flattens out the quilting. Looking for ideas/tips on how best to store this!!

Not for the faint of heart, but when I had a 225 with a pointy bottom, I took a deep breath and just folded the point in and pressed the sides together over it. Pretty much the opposite of how it arrives flattened the other way. I tried a bunch of tricks and nothing worked. Nerve racking the first time, then I did it a couple more times and I never had a problem with it standing up again.

I did get the box, but I am nervous to store the bag in a box. I might try to stand it upright using some support and see if that flatens the bottom a bit. Thank you so much for your suggestion.
