PSA: Be careful about using Coach dust bags for storage.
This came up in another thread yesterday so I researched it: Coach just sent a new $600 bag out to me with a polyester dust bag. I can’t say if/when that changed, but leather handbags should never be stored in non-breathable polyester or synthetic dust bags. These materials restrict airflow and trap heat and moisture; increasing the risk of mold and mildew growth, dry rot, and material flaking/peeling/cracking. Leather is a natural porous material that requires constant ventilation.
Use Natural Fabrics: Always choose breathable soft cotton, muslin or linen dust bags. If you don't have one, a clean, unbleached cotton pillowcase works perfectly.
