How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[deb68nc]

I’ve been carrying my trendy everyday (grocery store runs) and keep it upright on a table when not using with its contents inside. I was wondering the same thing about storing. If you lay it on it’s back the quilts will flatten. So i think if you store it empty sitting upright it’s light enough to keep its shape. I’m curious to hear what others say...i love this bag the most out of all that I’ve had. I just stare at it and admire

I’ve been wondering this too and hopefully someone who’s had it for a while will chime in. I definitely don’t want the corners sagging due to storage.

It's best to rotate how the bag is stored - any bag - and not leave it upright, flat, etc for any length of time. Pick a way to store it and in a month or so, rotate to a different position. I don't have the Trendy but I have a Chanel with those different compartments/curved corners, and I do lay it flat most of the time to protect the corners, and sometimes I'll hang it.

ahhh I have mine stored flat! and now I'm scared is this really not a good way to store the trendy cc?

Thanks all. I have mine upright and I do notice some creasing happening on the bottom from the weight of the bag standing up. I don’t mind the quilts going flat on the back from laying flat. I think that’s better than it losing the overrall shape and structure. But I’m concerned if laying flat will cause any other issues like the compartments to flatten and protrude on the sides. Appreciate any more input if anyone has owned this bag for a long period of time and has found the best way to store it. Thanks!!

Can you guys hang them up instead?

I think that would damage the handles right?

Maybe so. If I had it I would probably rotate the position but that would get tiring after while. Hopefully someone knows.

I just checked mine and I have a tiny crease on the bottom (it's barely noticeable). I store mine upright as well and now I'm wondering if I should store it flat. The bag does seem like a very heavy bag to be stored upright.

Would it help if we maybe placed a flat pillow under it sitting up maybe taking some of the weight off on the hard surface? I don’t like the idea of it lying on its back for flattening the quilts in the back in comparison to the front. Thoughts?

It definitely seems like a heavy bag to sit upright over time. Regarding the pillow I would be afraid of distorting the shape on the bottom due to it not being on a flat surface

I store mine in its original dustbag/protective pieces, in an upright position, and use a small soft t-shirt for stuffing the front and back pockets, and then the original paper stuffing for the middle pocket. This ensures all corners in the front and back are "filled" to the appropriate fullness of my liking when it's not in use so that no creases develop. It looks brand new and I've had it for almost a year!

Thank you for sharing! Gorgeous color with the chevron!

Your bag looks soooo gorgeous! After having it for a year, did you notice any creasing/wrinkle on the back of the the flap from opening/closing the bag? I saw some creasing on the back of some lambs, but I hear that it depends on the batch of bags. I'm looking to buy a trendy CC in black, but this was my concern since I've only had caviar bags, not lamb yet... but I definitely want to add lamb in my collection.

Beautiful bag! Love that beige. Is that a small or a medium? I've got a small that I've been storing empty and upright; i wasn't worried about sagging but now I'm wondering if I should be stuffing it. (It's just the small seems a bit tight to be putting any tee shirts in there...)
