~*Sweetneet*, I really love the way you got the display cabinets to show off your beautiful collection. What an ingenious idea. Do you think it will fit big bags such as Tivoli &Madeleine GM? I LVoe it

^i;m not sure exactly of the size of those bags, but i know each of my shelves are about 15.5" wide. However, if you want longer ones, Ikea sells the same shelves that are twice as wide (about 31" wide):

you can still put the same glass doors on them, so from the outside it will look basically the same as what I have (two smaller shelves next to each other, each with glass door).

the great thing too about these shelves is that you get to choose the height of each shelf, so you can adjust to your needs. for example if you are just storing a few larger items you can use just 3 of the shelves instead of the 5 provided.

Sweetneat - your collection is growing in leaps and bounds! You're amassing quite a haul of vernis items. And I love that you have matching accessories for them. You're quite lucky to score that beautiful indigo, so lovely. I eventually want to find something in that color too. And your display is wonderful too, beautiful and useful.

Sweet--I love your pictures, your collection, your new closet, everything! If we had an IKEA here I'd go right now and get a closet like yours!!!

Your gorgeous pictures are making me wish I weren't on a ban. The colors are sooo pretty!!!!

aw thanks, RG!! and I really envy your collection...still am drooling over your Mahina

that is one *gorgeous* bag!!! i am jealous of everyone who has one!

You have an amazing collection and I absolutely love how you have it displayed. I am going to borrow your idea!! Right now I keep all my bags in my coat closet in their dustbags and I don't feel like I really get the chance to enjoy my collection as much as I would like. Those Ikea shelves with the glass doors look so perfect.

Thanks so much for posing your pictures!! You have inspired me!!

sweetneet · Feb 29th, 2008, 12:28 PM

^aw, thanks! i'm so glad people like the shelf idea! and yeah i think it does add enjoyment to having a purse collection...my shelves are right across from the bed, so I see them first thing in the morning, after i wake up.

before I choose my outfit, I think "hmm, what bag to use today?"

and what's cool is that these shelves are pretty cheap. each one is $35, glass door is $50. So for the entire set of 3 shelves + doors I paid only $255!

that's less than an LV accessory!!

i'm an ee myself - gotta give you props for being a girl in ee AND loving such fabulous bags AND engineering a way to show them off! i wonder what your coworkers think though of your 'lunch bags' and 'work bags'? ;-)

sweetneet · Mar 1st, 2008, 03:15 PM

^cool. nice to know i'm not the only one! and yeah at work a lot of my friends think i'm crazy for spending so much $$ on bags! but actually i've seen quite a few women at work with LVs (mostly monogram), so it's pretty cool!

luvpurses24 · Mar 2nd, 2008, 04:01 PM

Great collection sweetneet! Your Vernis bags are gorgeous! Love those IKEA shelves too. I'm heading to IKEA over my spring break so I'll have to be sure to check them out!

sweetneet · Mar 2nd, 2008, 05:28 PM

^thanks. yeah IKEA is great, wish I had been able to shop at one when I was in college. the stuff is so useful and so cheap at the same time.

btw, i see that you're in San Antonio, i love it there. we had our wedding there last October (at Weston Centre), and it was so great. everyone who came out of town (which was all my family and friends) really loved it! very nice in the fall.
