I just got a Christmas card from an eBay buyer who bought my Michael kors. She sent me a benjamin because she felt the auction ended way lower than it should have. That is the nicest random act of kindness since Odebdo sent me a gift Massaccesi Angelica in the mail this past summer. Pocket Purse Peeps are the best!!!!!! I'm just so floored. This will go for my kids' Christmas bounty!

Oh I missed this. I need photographic examples. I still don’t get it.

Just tuck them in the bag if they bug you. That is what I do with them in the bag. I leave my bags in the dust bags because I have pets. The pets are not allowed any where near my bags but just to be on the safe side I keep them that way. I also store my bags by color so I know what is in each dust bag just by glancing at it.

I finally got my motion detection light installed in the ceiling of my walk in closet so I am not tripping all over myself and having klutz-tastrophes all the time! And I get to admire my purse wall when I walk in. Here it is! 3 dozen beauties. The photo doesn’t show so clearly the bottom row of Taupes , especially the two-in-one-slot Massaccesis (Angelica and midi soulmate). Even more unclear is the next row up of Blacks, Tans, 2 Striped Neutral Fendis, also because there are two bags per square there. Those Just Campagne black bags just do not show up at all in photos, and the tan Celine behind the Mulberry barely shows up either. Anyways, this wall makes me happy! My music stand and flute hanging on it hardly looks aesthetic but really it’s the best place for it. Above the backpack are my 2 shelves for jewelry/hair accessories.

NOW GRANT MY CHRISTMAS WISH AND SHOW ME WHERE YOUR BAGS LIVE!!!!!

That is really a great picture!
Currently all of my bags are on the floor of the bedroom - the closet is still under repair after the leak. I did buy identical dustbags for everything except the LV and Gucci, so when I get them back in the closet, it will appear more monotone/homogenous. I went to the hardware store and took a few paint sample swatches in the color of my bags and tied them to the dustbags so I can see what color the bag is.

OOh that’s smart~! Even more next level would be to take a photo of the bag and make little laminated tags for the dustbags with a photo of the bag so you can see what it is. OR even more next level would be to take photos of the bags and have fabric printed with that picture and sent to an etsy seamstress to make custom dust bags from them so each dust bag clearly shows a bright and clear photo image of the bag inside!
I have too much time on my hands to ponder this....

That sounds like to much work.

I think someone on this thread or maybe on the Minimalist Closet thread said there is someone on Etsy who can or does make laminated tags of bag photos… but I am way too lazy to do that!
Ordering all the dust bags and tying on the tags was enough for me. :giggle:

Good question! I never noticed one way or the other, so I just took it out and checked. Sure enough... the divider does NOT go all the way to the bottom. There is a teeny-weeny space. I don't know if it's a large enough space for coins to come loose (I don't keep coins in it) but it's certainly something to think about.

Thank you! [emoji4]

Oh... I feel like I’m the laziest person. I just use a stripe of paper, write the name of the bag, the color, and style of it. Then, stapled it around the dust bag strap and left it dangling down from the shelves. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
