I've finally reorganized my bags so they're all out of their dust bags and lined up on shelves. (I have to share, they look so pretty :lol:). Then I read on another thread that you shouldn't have the leathers touching each other for prolonged periods of time. Any thoughts on this? I thought if I can see them all every day I may start to decide which ones I can sell, although I'm not sure if it will actually help or not....

Gorgeous bags! I don’t know the answer to the touching bags. Maybe put the dust bags under the bags and have it the excess come up a tiny bit to prevent the touching. I find if a bag is out of its dust bag I will grab it more often too. Though I rarely do that.
 
Your storage is fabulous. You can really see all your bags. I guess you need to be careful with colour transfer if they are close but you don’t have light colours next to dark so should be okay.

I love seeing my bags inside my cupboards. I don’t have as many but I agree it helps me switch and use them more often. This is the section above my vanity mirror and shelves.

See how pretty that looks? I do think I'll use more of them if I can see them.

I do think I need to find something to put between them, not sure what that'll be just yet...
 
I’ve seen people use plastic or cardboard bookshelf dividers. That always looks like it works quite well. Minimum space wastage and doesn’t distract from the prettiness of your wonderful collection.
That's the second time plastic has been mentioned, I'm not sure if it would be a good thing against the leather? But yes, something along those lines.

The in or out of dust bags for storage is an interesting debate which seems to split bag lovers. Without doubt it’s better for the bags to be stored inside their dust bags. However, I made the decision to store them out as I view my small collection as being like private art to enjoy. They are carefully displayed on the higher shelves of my fitted wardrobes and peak out when I open the doors.
