Do you think stuffing it can fix the waviness? I have the same problem from not knowing how to store my purse. I'm sure I threw out the stuffing that originally came with the bag so I will have to get a substitute.
My only concern with removing the lock for storage is that I use my black hamilton a lot and I'm worried I might lose the lock if I keep taking it off. I'm also thinking of buying a purse insert/organizer to make it easy to switch purses and then store them correctly

I want to show a good tip on how to store your MK bags, so you don't need to worries about how the handles would leave dents on the bag.
Neatly stuff your bag with tissue paper and place the strap neatly fold between the handles.
Tighten the strings, leaving a gap on top.
Use on of the string and tuck it under the handles and use the other string to tuck it under the handles on the opposite side, then just loosely tie the strings and you're done.
hope you ladies find this post helpful!!

Do you store it upright or lay it flat?
I think its worth a shot to try and stuff it. If you dont have the stuffing you can put some towels /small pillow inside.
If you use the bag that often, than I'm not sure I would remove the lock either. I don't know if the lockingmechanism can outstand a frequent opening/closing without being loose? I use my Hamiltons once - twice a week, so I remove the lock. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and bringing the dark dune Hamilton with me. I'm not planning to remove the lock as I will wear it on a daily basis. Just plan to stuff and put in the dustbag in between use.
acm1134 also put together a great thread on how to fix dents in a Hamilton with a blow dryer...

Hi, Michael Kors bag has been one of the most expensive bags I know. With what I see with my daughter, she always try to keep her bag in her original case whenever it is not in used and prevent it from all dirt.
No, but I have handles sticking up out of dust bag and tied together with a soft ponytail thing so they stay together standing up and won't crease bags
Apparently, with the Hamilton, if you store it hanging by the short handles, you can actually crack the interior support tube in the handle. I would not advise hanging MK bags by the short handles.
I store my hamiltons just like I store my lv neverfulls. Upright always, stuffed to the gills, handles UP and locks OFF( neverfulls don't have a lock) and handles tied together with ribbon. I have 2 store potato chip shelf racks my dd's job was going to toss out that have adjustable shelving and wheels. THEY ARE PERFECT! I'm serious, I just peeled the frito lay stickers off and voila. And they were FREE-WOOP WOOP
I've only had my pebbled leather hamiltons for about six months but I keep them stuffed with the tissue they came with. I place in the dust bag handle down then laying in the gift boxes I got them in. I have a black with silver, vanilla with gold and luggage with gold hardware so far.
I'm hoping to pick up either a black with gold traveller or saffiano soon.
