I have a Gucci dustbag that I use for my Speedy strap. I keep it inside my Speedy.
I do take my strap out and put it in the sun because I'm trying to let it patina evenly to match my Speedy.
I hang all of my LV straps in the closet with my belts, on a belt rack. Each strap has its own hook and keeps the straps nicely without being coiled up.
In a belt dust bag inside my the bag the strap belongs to. All my straps are in belt dust bags. Yes this means I keep the dust bag inside if I want to remove the strap while carrying.
I purchased a speedy B on the advice of everyone's input. Many thanks!
How do you guys store your bags? Currently I have an organizer in it to minimize creasing and keep it in a dark closet
with the cover on. What do you guys do?
I use air paper (the ones that Amazon uses in their packaging) and keep it stuffed. I put the strap inside rolled up before stuffing it and I store it in my closet inside a dust bag.
I put towels in, dustbag with the handles up, and store it in a wardrobe on flat surface. The strap I roll up soft and put in separate dustbag beside the speedy.
If I've been abroad or I've been using the speedy for a long period of time I usually wipe the bag all round with a damp soft cloth when I get home. You can't believe how much dirt is stuck to it after a while.
I also stuff it with towels and place on a shelf in my closet, strap rolled inside the bag, unzipped in the dustbag away from any source of heat or AC. I avoid leaving near a wall that gets direct sunlight in my close since Summers in CA are p r e t t y hot. I also wipe it clean after use it for a month
I store mine stuffed with IKEA pillows and air pillows inside its dust bag. My closet is ventilated pretty well but none of my bags are too close to the vent. However, my Speedy B DE’s fabric near the zipper is almost disintegrating! All of my other bags are fine- Mono Speedy b and classic Speedys. It’s so strange! I expected this to happen if it was stored in a box, dried out.
