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

I thought I had read here on tPf that to use any sort of fabric type material to stuff your bags with may lead to mold or mildew.....that's why many prefer to use the plastic air pillows.
No mold can grow on those.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Also it may not matter if you switch out your bags frequently and keep rotating those pillows?
Again, I'm no expert but am just wondering. I live in a fairly damp climate and need to worry about such things.
 
^ I think it may depend on climate and how it's stored. It's pretty dry where I store my items and I haven't had issues with mildew/mold in my belongings.

A good rotation and regular cleaning of the pillows will help, along with using those desiccant packets to absorb moisture. Climate control too, with a dehumidifier maybe?

Yes same here as I am in a dry climate as well. LV even stuffs the bags with pillows.

I never read that.. My purses aren't stored long enough to grow mold.. I rotate often. :smile1:
 
oh yay, just saw this! Glad you snagged them, aren't they PERFECT for purses???


I got some, too! I also found two longer pillows that are a bit more rigid and are PERFECT in my NF's. Will post pics when I get a chance. The print on them is darling. These were also at IKEA.

Thank you for the tip, as these are MUCH cheaper and work better than the ones I had been getting at Bed Bath and Beyond.
