Made me think of Louise from Malcolm In the Middle

Cedar chests are a classic way of storing fabric. They breathe and keep pests out while also leaving a smell that is not unpleasant ( i quite enjoy it)

A sealed container within a perfectly constant air conditioned space will not need ventilation as much. But if storing in poorly conditioned areas (closets, garages, and such) then breathing is a priority to prevent moisture problems within the container.
