I read that keeping bags inside their boxes might deteriorate the material. Any truth to that?
How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

Yes but certain circumstances will affect the timeline. If you store them over a decade, they might dry out from lack of air circulation.
However if you live in a tropical or other environment with high humidity your bags might develop mould issues even along a relatively short timeline.
You can find several members who had issues with mould.
Interesting I have never heard this/ missed the other members posts. So definitely going to move them out of boxes! I use them all pretty regularly

I store mine in a Dustbag on shelves and have a tag with a photo on each to identify them easier.
Definitely not in the box. In dustbags only. Also good to take them out of bags once in awhile to inspect and air them. Inspect to make sure chains aren’t causing odd dents etc over time in storage for bags infrequently used.
I would stuff it and hang it by it’s straps. That bag is really prone to wrinkling and sagging at the bottom.
Hi I use my chanel deauville leather tote daily and i am not sure how to store it in my laundry room: along with book bags, shoes, and sports equipment that my kids use without loosing it's shape and also prevent it from getting dirty. Each of my kids and myself have a little shelf that either fits their book bag and my chanel bag-but I want to try and help maintain its shape and keep it somewhat clean. Does anyone have any suggestions on keeping it with the dust bag or purchasing a special container?
thank you so much
thank you so much
Hi all!
I have a light colored trendy cc which came with a black dustbag. Do you guys think that there could be any color transfer if I keep the bag stored in the black dust bag over time?
thanks

Chanel has used Black Dustbags for a long time, so I would think if this was a problem they wouldn't continue to do so. BUT for a light lamb or patent bag, I'd rather be safe then sorry. Maybe put in a White Pillow case instead?
You can ask your SA for a light colored dust bag if you purchased from boutique or department store.
Hi guys! So I’ve been debating on how to store my trendy cc as these bags seem to wear so much during storage. A lot of pre loved ones show creasing at the bottom and sagging a little because of being stored upright I guess? After seeing that I thought to store my trendy laying flat but I wanted to get feedback from you guys. Does anyone store their trendy laying flat and how has that worked for you? Does laying flat for so long cause any other issues of wear on this bag? I don’t want the side gussets to become flattened or lose their shape. I do store is stuffed regardless of standing or sitting. Thank you guys so much appreciate your help.
I don’t own a trendy so can’t really advice you however I would imagine if storing it laying flat might cause the leather quilts to the back of the bag to flatten over time? This was my main concern about the trendy cc as I wanted to purchase this bag but could not get over a photo I saw of someone else’s trendy cc being saggy and losing it’s shape. She said she brought it new last year from boutique and only used it a handful of times and kept it standing :/ Hopefully you will get more replies and someone can advice you and this will also help me to decide if I should just take the plunge.
