Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag or the original felt, lightly fill it to support the form not overstuffed, keep it in a cool, dry, ventilated spot away from direct heat or sunlight, and avoid hanging or compressing it under other objects.

Use a breathable dust bag or the original pouch
Keep the bag in a cotton or felt dust cover rather than plastic. Breathable covers let trapped moisture escape and reduce condensation that can deform materials or encourage mildew. When possible, use the protective pouch that came with the item. nz.louisvuitton.com
Lightly support the shape — don’t overfill
Add soft, clean tissue or unprinted cotton to support flat faces and rounded edges without forcing angles. The goal is gentle, even support so seams and piping keep their intended curve; avoid rigid inserts that press at single points.
Control humidity and airflow
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from heat sources and prolonged sun. Avoid airtight plastic or sealed boxes for long-term storage because they can trap moisture; periodic airing helps prevent moisture buildup that can soften structure or cause odors. eu.louisvuitton.com nz.louisvuitton.com
Handle and position to avoid pressure damage
Do not hang small bags by a single point for long periods, and avoid stacking heavy items on top. Store upright when possible so base piping and corners retain their shape; rotate stored pieces occasionally if you keep a collection in one place. nz.louisvuitton.com
Questions to ask before long-term storage
Is the item clean and fully dry? Do you have its breathable dust cover? Will the storage spot stay cool and ventilated? If the bag has removable accessories, keep them separate to avoid imprinting marks during storage. us.louisvuitton.com nz.louisvuitton.com
