Where to do you get those "air bags" to stuff the bags to keep its shape?

I save up all the air pockets I get from Amazon packages.

I save them from the packages I receive. I sell on Ebay so I get lots of merchandise with the little air bags and bubble wrap. You can also buy them from ULine.

There's an on- line company called Bag a Vie that sells pillows for this purpose. They list many pooular bag styles and the size and how many pillows to use. They are beautiful and well made. They are slightly expensive, but worth it, IMO, if they perfectly preserve the shape of my beautiful bags.

Thank you for this! 😘

I agree with another TPFer, and feel you should use a pillow. I get my little pillows from Ikea. They are less than $2.00. I picked up like 6 the last time I was there to stuff all of my bags. NastasiaM53 on youtube uses the same pillows for her bags.

This all the way! ^_^

Air cushions and air pillows!! That is what they are called... Well lots of times it is just not having the right vocabulary!

I found some that can ship from California. What size is best? 6x8? 5x8? I feel stupid to pay for air, but I guess this is necessary for our beloved bags!

Lol, glad I could help, I would think either of those sizes would be fine.

Why do I never think of IKEA? Great suggestion - thank you!!

My quote feature didn't work for some reason!

I do a lot of on line shopping and I use the ones that are packaged with my deliveries. Saks and Nordstoms use really nice ones LOL

I use bubble wrap rolled up .

I use the little air cushioners that come with shipped packages - some of them I can cut into different shaped and roll up to fill the bags. Depending on the shape of the bag I may add an old t-shirt or piece of cotton, or some tissue paper. I then replace the air cushions as they begin to run out of air.

I just bought a bag from my local boutique and my SA offered to leave it stuffed with the little air bags without me even asking. It might be worth asking your store.

Me! I posted that a while back too, they are PERFECT for stuffing my bags. I bought a whole bunch of them and stuff all my bags with them. The air pillows for shipping eventually pop, lose air pressure, etc. Plus the pillows are much nicer I think!

Here's a link to the ones I use :

Beware, the yellow around the price means discontinued! I may need to go buy a sack of them for future purse purchases!!!

These pillows look big - 14 by 14? Can they fit a 12" purse like speedy 30?

I usually do save up packaging stuff from shipping boxes, but I want the big air cushions and these are rare to come by
