Which is silly considering that the bag COMES with it, so I don't see why we can't have them. I don't like just throwing them in plastic bins without a dust bag, but I've resorted to using pillowcases instead.

Be very, very careful about pillowcases. I saw a case on the Coach forum where someone stored a white bag in a tan colored pillowcase and then inside a box. Over time the dye from the pillowcase leaked onto the bag and ruined it, it was so sad.

Also be careful about plastic, I've heard lots of bad stories about storing leather in plastic because leather needs to breathe. Cardboard is OK, but plastic doesn't allow the air to circulate and that could be bad too - or at least that's what I've read.

Yep. I can't remember but I think there's a problem with cardboard too. Maybe moths? And you also have to watch the stuffing. It's all very distressing. :nuts:

Oh, geez. Unfortunately, I can't store them anywhere else because my house is rather small and we lack closet space. I'll have to try and figure something else out, but they might have to just stay where they are and hope that nothing happens ... Thanks for the tips!

COACH outlets in Southern California generally do not include dust bags on retail transfers. I've heard that the boutiques pull the dust bags before they ship the bags to the outlet per corporate policy.

Oh, that's interesting to hear.



OP, I'm having an issue with storage, too. And we have a huge walk in closet. Also, can't stand that my bags are sitting in dust bags and boxes, and some with no dust bags, too so I feel ya. I've put those bags in laundry sacks that I stole from a fancy hotel. :p I'm thinking about buying an old china cabinet and displaying them. And if it has cabinet space underneath you can store the dustbags, boxes, bags. Bonus if it has drawers for wallets & wristlets. I've seen a lot of china cabinets and furniture at Salvation Army. My wheels have been turning. :thinkin:

As for Coach - I've always gotten dustbags with the FP bags I've bought at the outlets. If the dustbag isn't in the bag, they just give me one from behind the counter. Never had an issue or question about it.

As for storage, I'm thinking of some sort of cabinet too. Right now I have mine stored in the dustbags and then in the boxes, and I have each box labelled and they are on a big bookcase. I would like to get some sort of glass cabinet too - I saw one from Ikea that looks promising - but I have 16 bags (Coach and Kors) and doubt it's over yet, so I would need a pretty big cabinet.

All of the bags I have gotten that are MK have come with dustbags, but i havent bought any bags in the MK outlet yet....I do agree that Coach is better with their dustbags....even in my Coach outlet I was always able to enable an SA into giving me a dustbag....I dont like what you were all told in your MK outlets....the bags come with dustbags...what are they DOING with them then???!!!!

LOL...too funny! I bought a MK bag years ago at Tuesday Morning (dept. store overstock retailer) and it came with the dustbag. Then I bought a sporty nylon with leather trim at Marshalls and it did not. Do ALL bags come with dustbags or just the leather ones?

Maybe this is like a hoarding situation. For all we know someone at Michael Kors could be living in a house full of of dustbags. I shouldn't talk because I myself have a box full of dustbags.

I haven't purchased bags at the MK outlet but my Mom has and her larger bags came with dustbags but she bought 2 smaller bags which didn't have any. Maybe they were MFF I don't know ( This was woodbury outlet BTW)

I purchased my MK from the outlet and they were out at the time of purchase. The clerk who waited on me said next time I stopped by to just ask. Well some months I went back and asked and sure enough they dustbags. Luckily I'm good about storing my handbags so I was thrilled to get a dustbag, but I would have been okay if I didn't get one.
