How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[lovieluvslux]

I store mine in their boxes. I make sure my light colored bags are stored with a white/satin slip cover. I don't use the black ones provided by Chanel.

I tuck the chain in the bag and store in the dust bag

Do you tuck in for lambskin
I feel
The area where chain will rest on the side, will that put a mark on the lambskin

I WAS storing them in acrylic boxes sold by a company that specializes in handbag storage. It looked really pretty and organized, but....I realized that I hated the hassle of having to take them out to use them. Now they are stored on the open shelving in my closet. Grab and go!

Thoughts on getting a purse display hanger? I always feel like I’m rushing out the door and my purses are always ready to grab so I wouldn’t have much time to take it out of the dust bag, remove the stuffing, etc since I would use it everyday. I would think a purse hanger would help prevent the chain indentation problem (plus it still would look nice on display!) but not sure if hanging it would cause any compromise to the actual bag itself in the long run.

Thank you for your advice. I feared that the plastic boxes would not be a good idea. While it protected my purses from the water damage, it is not a long term solution....I guess I will have to put them in their dust bag only. Cheers!

You have special boxes for bags. Google will help. The boxes are from clear acrylic. You can put the bag in the box, there are little hooks so that the chain won't dent your bag and there are little holes for ventilation. If they get rained on, I don't know how much water will get trough the holes but it's safer than only dustbags.

I am very over-the-top about my bag cleaning and storage. I make sure that the bags are always stored in their dust bags and with the chains in the top flap of the dust bag wrapped in tissue. The double flaps are kept with the felt in-between them and I store them upright. I never keep them in the boxes as the leather needs to breathe in the air.

I have both lambskin and caviar bags and once a year I spa them myself with two products - Renapur leather cleaning concentrate that you mix with water and wash across the bag with a horsehair brush wiping it away quickly every 30/50 seconds. Then I use the Renapur leather balsam applied generously and left to soak in for an hour and buffed off well. Really good stuff and it keeps the bags fresh and clean. I do the inside and outside and the hardware with it. I leave it to dry for an hour between cleaning and conditioning so that moisture is locked in the leather with the conditioner but its not overly damp.
Caviar leather is very durable in my opinion and I don't worry about it but nothing is as beautiful as lambskin.

Those of you with Chanel 19s - how do you store them?
I have a small size in lambskin. If I stand her up she starts to sag, if I hang her up it’s going to end up distorting the shape as it pulls on the flap, so she’s currently laying flat, but worries this will squash the puffy quilting!
Am I just being too fussy??

I have the same issue as you. I used to store my small 19 by standing it up but it started to sag and the sag was becoming quite obvious at the bottom part of the bag. So I started lying it flat on the back ever since and the sagginess disappeared/evened out. It's been that way since. It's a pity because I can't admire its beauty fully because it's not standing up straight on my purse shelf :/

I stuff tissue inside of the bag and stand it up. So far, no slouching but I only had the bag for 2 months...so we shall see.

This is what I do as well.

I had tissue paper stuffed in mine but I just took the tissue paper out and put a bag organizer inside of it to keep its shape. If this is a horrible idea someone please let me know lol

i let my classic flaps and totes stand free and easy in my closet (but for woc, i let it lie in the box)! I avoid keeping them in the dust bag because there was once i left them stored in the dust bag but they started growing mold though maybe it's just my humid environment, but yeah its always good to air your bags so the leather can breathe. I stuff them minimally sometimes to keep shape too.

for classic flaps, i tuck/fold the chains into the bag.

I've had enough. Since my collection has grown a bit, I've had enough of storing, stuffing and organizing all my bags. I found myself not using a bag because it was a pain to unpack and pack up a bag after use. Ive come to realize that I am lazy. Sometimes I wouldn't even pack up the bag before I switched bags and end up with 3+ bags out and stuffing/dustbags laying around.

I'm going to remove all the air paper stuffing from my bags and remove the dustbag from each bag. I will only keep the felt on the bags to prevent creasing and then the bag will be empty. Packing up my bags so carefully may have helped me prolong the condition of my bags but carpe diem! I get to now almost grab and go with a bag.

+1. All of my CC bags are carefully packed and stored in the closet and my most convenient/ used grab-and-go bag is my no name canvas tote.

I love the idea of using hooks for the chain.
