Yes. They are easier to access and this way some air gets to them!
Hello, I would want to know how you guys storage you're chanel boy bag? This is my first chanel bag. I put the leather part of the chain underneath the bag and the rest of the chain inside. I also wrap the bag before putting it in dustbag and then inside the box standing. I am worries about the leather part of the chain. The first week I tried to put it inside the bag and it left it somewhat not looking that pretty. So now I have it underneath the bag. Can you guys explain and show what you do with the leather part of the chain on a chanel bag?
Hi lovelies,
Just bought my first lamb bag, preloved without a box or dust bag. And if you look at my postings from the past, I temporarily messed up my caviar boy because I was storing it incorrectly (I was able to correct it through proper packing and storing). Needless to say I’m not trying to make that same mistake again. I would love to see pics of how everyone else stores their babies, preferably without boxes). I don’t have much closet space, a lot of the examples online are massive closets. As my name says, I live in NYC.
Thanks in advance!

I know I am in the minority in this thread but I have always stored my Chanel bags in their boxes with the original tissue paper and packaging and I have never had any issues with my bags. I always wrap the chains in tissue paper and make sure they are away from the bags so they can't cause any indentation. I put the Chanel boxes inside plastic drawer boxes which keep them clean and dust free. My oldest bag is 10 years old and it still looks brand new and I have never had an issue with mould or any changes in the leather or appearance with any of my bags.
I do exactly what you do. I even hang the whole chain by strapping and sticking them on the upper part of the box. Not only the condition and the structure is preserved but the smell of brand new leather still linger for years.
In dustbag and always properly stuffed. My bags have no issue sitting in its boxes (tried it for months but i take them out to air occasionally) but my only concern is I don't like my bags to lie flat on its back. Maybe the quilts (especially for some chanel bags of mine) will be flattened if stored that way for too long.
I got my first boy bag just last month & this is how i decided to store it. (I searched and watched a couple youtube videos but still wasn’t satisfied with how they stored theirs)
I’d like this bag to be in pristine condition for many years to come. I put the chain inside the bag and then left some hanging out so there’s no pressure for the leather part of the chain. I also put tissue paper hanging out in the sides to make sure the chain won’t touch any part of the bag. Lastly, i put a small cloth at the bottom part because i was afraid the sides might fold over time if left standing up... yeah I might have gone a bit overboard
Somebody tell me is this like the ultimate chanel boy bag storage guide or what
Once i start using the bag i probably won’t store it like this every single time but when i won’t be using it that much i’ll store it like so
For the box, i didn’t close it all the way so there’d be “air” and more room inside since it seems a bit cramped

Stuff the bag lightly, avoid the weight of the chain and laying it flat on its bag. This video shows how

Hai,
I saw on utube exactly like you do for leboy. Then, i also did.
But, i feel it’s really not practical, because when in the closet, I have to check the condition of the chain Whether it falls or not, regularly. (my closet not big).
Also, wasting my time to open it when in a hurry
So I decided to put all handle inside the bag (just like when first i got leboy from boutique) and leave some of chain outside with tissue paper or anything that wrap them.

Hii sorry, i don’t quite understand what you mean?
I can’t exactly see what that pic is showing but if i’m right i’m guessing she has wrapped the chains & kept them on top of the bag? If so then that’s not how i store mine. (I saw a video with someone doing just that & i didn’t like it)
I also put the chain inside the bag & just kept a bit hanging out at the sides. Only the leather strap is on top of the bag
My post before is mainly for long term storage or when i’ll only use the bag occasionally. I like it in its box mainly to preserve the smell lol
For frequent use it is a pain to do. I’d store it as is & just put it inside the dust bag.
Tho i still put mine in the box every time because again, i like to keep it still smelling new
Some more pics to better explain:
1st what the bag looks like w/o any wrappings
2nd & 3rd how i wrap it before putting it inside the dust bag (i used a cloth so it is easier)
Hope this helps

Hey!
I have two Chanel timeless classic flap bags in caviar leather, which I store in the dust bag and original box (see the photos) in my wardrobe closet. I live in Norway (a Scandinavian country) and the summer here has been from 20-35 degrees, mostly around 20-27, but the last few days is has been up to 30-33 Degrees. Do you think my bags will get destroyed or get Mold or something the way I store them? Thank you for replying in advance

Good morning TPF!
I was curious how everyone stores their Chanel. Up until now I have kept them in their original boxes in the dust bags. But now that my collection is growing (my last purchase is a rather large box) I am running out of room in my locked closet for all the boxes! Looking forward to any suggestions! My SA told me to Keep them stuffed inside the dust bag, which I am leaning towards doing. But didn’t know if anyone has any other suggestions.
TIA
