Doll storage questions
Doll storage questions
I’m about to get my first doll and have been reading a little about proper storage and care. It seems like the recommended method is to hang from a neck hook to avoid flat spots and creasing. My household and home is not one where I’d be able to have a space dedicated to hanging storage. Has anyone come up with a more discreet mobile storage solution?
I was looking into a large pelican case or duffel with shaped foam inserts or cutouts but maybe someone has a better idea.

Golf duffels might be too short.
Ski or snowboard duffels might be too slender,
Large pelican cases also draw attention in the size needed.
All may disform, crease, or damage the doll

So a thick layer of memory foam
On top of that, another but cut out hole for her tushy....
And a dolly...
No pun intended

Depends on material. I had silicone doll wrapped in thick white cotton blanket, and she is fine year after year.Kvn_dvr wrote:Hello all,

For TPE, I think those long aluminum military box are perfect (Best price for long stable boxes), with memory foam inside would do. Don't lose the blanket that doll comes with. you will want to cover the front, then add foam, as there is more color on the front you want add extra layer of protection.
hard cover gold bags work too.

Re: Doll storage questions
We ( that is my wife and me ) live at two places. A few months in Holland and the rest of the time in the south of France. we decided not to take my doll(s) every journey with us so we bought some spare ( sounds a bit funny, but it is like this)
When we are at the other place the dolls are hanging around like this when we are not there. ( picture above is France, Cameron and Caja)
In Holland, where the house is much smaller, is it like this
Isn't it possible to find some space to let your doll hang around? A box uses way more space I think.
