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

I wish I had an Ikea near me. There is not even one in Tennessee.


My new Delightful PM Azur came shipped with the air pillows inside.

This is what I use. These are ones I collected last week from various packagesI received last week.

I have been using this in some of my bags too! I also got some bubble wrap and put that in my other purses.

Not sure where you are in TN but an IKEA is going to open in Memphis.

This is why I love TPF!! I would never have thought about IKEA having small pillows. I picked up 6 the other day and have all my bags stuffed

You can consider stuffing it with acid free tissue paper.

Great question. I would love some too.

My sa provides the air-pockets from the store … if I require additional she fills up a paper bag

Same here.. Last time I was in Saks my SA gave me a bag full of air pillows. But I'll check out Bag a Vie

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.

Here are my promised pics!

And here are some pillows I picked up at Target for my new-to-me Keepall 60. I use two of the standard size pillows in the middle of the bag, with two of the smaller IKEA pillows referenced above - one on either side.

Here are some pics:

I also throw in a cedar sachet for good measure.

You can try stuffing your handbag with acid free tissue paper from craft shop

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.

In my bags that I store for longer periods of time (my Keepall for example), I throw in a few cedar blocks or a cedar sachet. I get them at Container Store but have seen them at Targer. These absorb moisture and odor and repel insects. I live in a hot, humid climate and have had no issues. HTH.

Target - not Targer, as my phone prefers!
