Now that I think about it, that bag is over 30 years old. I bought it preloved 7 years ago and it was already 23-24 years old. And still not a scratch.
Where/how do you store/collect/display your LVs?

Love your new closet and your collection! You must enjoy just being in your closet.After 15 years living on overcrowded shelves in my closet and confined to suffocating dustbags, my beloved LV collection can finally breathe in the custom closet I designed for them.
This is how it started...I can hear my poor babies wheezing in this pic

And this is the bag that started it all, my very first LV, the Mabillon backpack. I swear I thought I'd die if I didn't get this bag. It's in great shape after almost 20 years.

Check out this thread to see more about my closet transformation.https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...so-show-me-how-you-store-your-hermes.1048847/
I store them out of their dustbags in a glass/wood curio cabinet with sliding door. I have blockout curtains because i work nights and sleep during the day. I open the sliding door once in a while to let the bags breathe. My bags inspire me each time i see them so i always try to keep them visible 
Bought the IKEA Billy / Oxberg bookcase for my very small bag collection.
I love the way this looks! Ugh, if only the Ikea near me wasn't out of stock of white Billys + doors for what feels like FOREVER...!
Finally somewhere I can post my little collection! I wish I had a closet big enough to have these in but for now they live on a shelf in my office. Took this pic while rearranging but they went right back in their dustbags after.
Thank you so much!
We're a 30 minute drive from an IKEA and the website shows it out of stock all the time too! A month ago I saw it in stock, we packed up our 2-year-old and drove there, and it was all gone even though the website still showed stock. I ended up stalking it online and paying the $50 delivery fee to have the (unassembled/boxes) delivered to our doorstep. For $70, they'll bring the boxes to the room you want it in lol.Hi, I know this is an old thread but was having trouble finding elsewhere online - do you stuff or have a pillow in the Métis? I’ve found that it’s … crunching a little sitting up in my closet like this. But wasn’t sure if I should stuff with a pillow either! Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi! It was nice to revisit this thread again. It is so fun for me to see how much my collection has changed in the last two years. I have since sold my black metis (along with a few others) and only have the canvas. I store that with the dust bag and strap inside and have not had any issues. The canvas is a bit stiffer than the leather. All of my bags only contain their dust bags and straps if applicable. My wocs just contain their straps. Here is my updated photo. Including some artwork my daughter made me on the right door☺️
