Hi all

I’m about to ship all of my stuff across the world and so it’s going to be in a container on the sea for up to 20 weeks!!! Ahhh!! I’m most concerned about my bags, the most valuable and precious of which are my Chanel’s and some LVs etc. Plus some shoes

I’ve tried to read up on other peoples storage threads etc so I’m planning on trying to take as many bags with me when I fly as possible in my hand luggage (I don’t want to put it into my checked luggage in case it gets stolen as we are stopping over in two different locations before we get to our final destination). This will mean I still need to ship most of my bags so I’m planning on wrapping felt around the chains to prevent indentations, then put the bags into their dust bag then into their original Chanel etc box. I will put in some silica sachets, I’ve read here that Wisedry is good. Then to perhaps put the cardboard boxes into a large plastic box, you know those storage container types one you can buy for underbed storage etc. I am most worried about water damage as they will be on the high seas for a while :( should I also maybe wrap the plastic containers in cellophane too?

Any other help or advice much appreciated!!!
