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.

Ahh, I might try that, but I agree, I will be freaked out the first time.

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 :smile: View attachment 4229773View attachment 4229774

Hope this way of storage is ok!

Interesting!!

I need to bump this thread because I am unsure of how to store my new to my 2004 medium flap. I found this on lollipuff, where they pull the chain inside and rest it on the inside flap which has felt in between the flaps? and then additional felt on top of the bag between the leather and chain. I did it like this for now as my bag comes with the regular black drawstring dustbag and no double-pocket-one. However, since santa (lol!) also got me a sewing machine for christmas, I might buy some nice fabric or cut up an old shirt and just sew myself a double-pocket-dustbag..

Any other pro tips for storing the bag? It Must have been stored well as it has zero chain indents and now im terrified to be the clumsy idiot that gets dents in after it being perfect for 14 years..

How do you store your Chanel products ? Do you let them in the original boxes ? Do you display your bags on shelves ? Do you just let things in their dustbag ? And the shoes ? In boxes or displayed ?

I loooove to see my stuff exposed, but, at the same time, I'm so afraid about dust, sunlights, insects ... So I let all my Chanel in boxes :annoyed:

I think it also depends on the climate where you live and whether you have central AC/temp control throughout home. High heat and humidity seems to be the biggest culprit... I had an SA from Miami tell me she never stores in boxes and an SA from New Jersey/New York tell me she prefers to store in boxes...

In its dustbag in its box. I do take each of them out often to check the hardware, let them breathe, etc. I also put the chain inside just like the post shows on the prior page so there are no indentions made to the bag. They have remained pristine and look like brand new storing this way after more than 10 years!
