I went to pick up my 3 bags that were getting the corner hardware pieces replaced (white mc speedy and keepall and blue le fab, I missed my babies they were gone for 4 weeks) and the SA told me that I should not store my bags in the box unless i put a huge hole for air to get thru. He said that over time (meaning years) the leather will breakdown. Has anyone heard this???
LV Storage Question
- Thread starter LVLover
- Start date
That's weird..my SA told me when I got my Monogram Denim Chinchilla bag that it needed to be stored in the dustbag in the box in a dark closet due to the lizard and python skins. But I've never actually heard anyone say that you shouldn't keep them in the box like that..and I agree with Ayla..SOME air has to get through..the lids on the boxes don't really seem like they seal too tight for air to get in anyway.
i store all my LV bags in their dustbags in the box ..
does it mean that i shouldn't be doing it?
and easpecially since i don't use my LV bags very often either ..
i have the ones which i use most of the time and the others .. i use them about once a month? or less?
how should i be storing them then?
ooohh i'm getting all panicky

Here's a thought: My mother had some absolutely fabulous purses and because we were a military family always on the move, she kept them stored in boxes. Over the years, she would only take them out if she were using them and then put them right back.
About 5 years ago, she moved into a new home with these great closets (I'm modeling my master bedroom/bath/closets after hers
when we build our lakehouse!), and put the bags in their boxes all on shelves. She didn't do as many social functions after my dad died, so she didn't take the bags out as much.
So last summer we are going through her closets and getting rid of stuff and started opening up these boxes. Many - but not all - of the bags were practically ruined. The beaded ones had deteriorated, leather ones had started to do something that resembled rot but it was called something else according to the guy we took them to. Nylon bags and many cloth bags had become brittle.
Some were saved but most were tossed. She took them to a bag repair man and he told her to never ever ever put a handbag in a box or Rubbermaid container (guess that's pretty common) as they DO need to breathe.
I have all my LV boxes (few that they are!) and stack them on my closet on a shelf. I just like to look at the boxes, too.
