Ooh, stocked up! It looks gorgeous, you have great taste. I guess Mr Big will soon have to get an extension if this is a few month's worth...

Re storing bags in boxes - I've read that because the bags are leather, they have to breathe, therefore being stored in boxes suffocates them and they die...
OK, not quite right, I'm having a silly morning
If kept in boxes they can grow mildew, mould or fungus, toadstools depending on the humidity. Best just keep them in bags or on display in your stunning cupboard.

Ohhh, just had an idea - we ALL need a humidor! A climate controlled closet for our bags! quick, someone set up a business!!

AMAZING! Looks like a store, perfectly organized and the bags look like they have never been used!

**Chanel**, lavlov, lovemelon and EMMY -- You guys are embarrassing me with all the kudos....thank you all very much! I've been telling my DH about everyone's comments. He's pretty pleased with himself. Looks like the cat who swallowed a canary.

Eeeek!! Are you serious!??! Gross! Might as well throw out all the boxes. That's just nasty!

Regarding the humidor, I admit after the closet my built, I told my DH we should've done that to protect my bags. He just rolled his eyes. I think secretly he wishes he'd thought of it, LOL!

I think it depends on where you live. My closet is pretty dry as well as my bedroom. I need more humidity. But I have heard you shouldnt store them in the boxes before. Maybe just dustbags is better?

My DH didn't actually build it himself. He designed it and then had a closet company build it for me. Don't get me wrong...he would've loved to have done it, but I would never let him! He did all kinds of stuff on our old "starter" house...like painting it purple (he swore it was navy blue) and other crazy things. Once we moved into our dreamhouse, I won't let him do anything, LOL!

Your closet looks just like a Chanel shop display! I wish my home had space for such a closet.
