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.
Lovely way to display them! Maybe I'll leave them out for awhile then put them back. As I mentioned somewhere earlier I don't have to worry about humidity and we have A/C so the house is fairly well sealed against dust, so that's a plus.
 
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....

No need for air con here as never that hot but central heating dries house out in winter! :-)

I’ve probably run out of space to get any more bags in my cupboards so that’s a reason for me to be shopping my own collection. Your collection looks beautiful on display and probably somewhat larger than mine.

Your closet looks fantastic, @muchstuff . The bags look quite impressive, all lined up in neat rows. You have a terrific collection. :heart:

I've never heard that leather isn't supposed to touch leather. If it's true, I'm in trouble! :huh:

My problem is I can't stop buying...
 
I think quite a few of us on TPF have that problem. My last new bag only arrived on Monday but it was a gift from DH. :smile:
I've picked up three bags in the last week and one more is on the way (well, one of them was on layaway for three months, does that count?) Now I just pulled one of the bags I had marked for sale back into my collection, at least temporarily. :facepalm:

No point selling if you might regret it. Better to keep until you are certain. :-)
