How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[Sakurai888]

I just watched a YouTube video where someone said the tissue paper inside one her bags absorbed moisture in the environment and it made her bag smell bad. So now I’m wondering if I should take the tissue paper out of my bags! What do you all do? What is your experience with using tissue paper to stuff your bags?

I think this is more of the issue of the storage location than the tissue paper itself. I always place dehumidifier but the storage location is important as well

True! A dehumidifier sounds good too.

I recently bought this glass case from Ikea to store my Chanel babies. This is how I store them now with a felt organizer inside and the bag open to avoid putting some pressure on the leather while being stored. The chain of the Jumbo CF is resting behind the bag wrapped w/ the chain cloth from top till the side, for the Mini I put the chain inside and with the chain cloth protector on top & the GST chain just inside the bag. I use to store them before with the dust bag in my closet but never inside the box since I bought them (boxes are also displayed on top of the glass case). I know I'm bias when it comes to my Chanel babies while the rest of my bags are hidden inside my closet. I love them all but Chanel will always be my first love. And by the way I also live in a very humid country, summer temperature goes up to 45 deg.C (113 deg.F). So during summer my AC is always on at 20-22 deg.C even if I'm not home.

I also use the same glass case from IKEA. I am also like you- I like the fact I can see them ☺️

I noticed that too. i started storing the chain in the pocket on the other side. Also, i took the kids unused foam sheets and insert them between it between the inner and outer flaps. So far, this seems to help with the imprint from the chains and the love note zipper from the inner flap. Will see how long I can keep this up. Btw, I do this for my wocs too.

hi would you mind sharing a pic of how you do this with your WOC ? and/or explain a little bit further how you store your WOC ? like upright, lying flat ? chain rested inside the bag or outside, hanging on top or to the side ? etc. thank you in advance !!

I’ve got my first Chanel bag recently, it’s a classic flap caviar in medium. The thing is I noticed that it just so slightly seems to lean forward when it stands. Is there a way to store it to correct the forward tilting ? When I don’t use the bag it’s backwards in the dustbag so that the chain rests on the back of the bag. Inside I stuff it with tissue paper and the chain is wrapped in paper also and placed in the top section of the dustbag. The bag is standing upright in my closet . Is there anything I should be doing different ? And is is possible just by the use of paper to correct tilting ?

I have SCOURED THE INTERNET...and I cannot for the life of me find out the best method for protecting the chain on the small flapbag with top handle! Nothing works, and there is no information anywhere.

Can any of you experts help me?!

Hi sorry can you explain what you mean?

If I understand correctly maybe you can try these strap protectors. I saw some on Amazon and Etsy. But you can definitely try to make one with felt.
I hope this helps, but if I misunderstood what you mean, I apologize!

Hi folks, can I get some help w/ Gabrielle storage? I have the small hobo but I can't work out how to deal with the chains/strap. I can put the chain inside the bag but the leather part of the shoulder strap is too stiff/large to also fit inside so I've resorted to just laying everything down outside of the bag.

I found some. Are yours a particular brand? Some seem to be pricey. $79?

My favorite system is still a combination of pillows and bags from Bag-a-Vie. I leave the chains outside, and it's very easy to change bags. The picture below shows reissues, but I do the same with Gabrielle.
