How do you display your Coach bags or store them?

I keep my bags stored in closets, sitting on shelves and stuffed to maintain their shapes. They stay in their dust-bags, and I make sure light dust bags go with my light and patent bags (to avoid staining from the brown dustbags over time). If I get a bag from the outlet that doesn't come with a dust bag (thankfully, this is rare), I store the bag in a white cotton pillow case that I fold close. I'm very careful to keep my bags out of sunlight when I'm not wearing them. I have several closets dedicated to my Coach collection- one stores Madison, one stores Kristin/Sydney/Alexandras, and one is a mish-mash (legacy, old hampton lindsey, maggies, peyton). This helps me keep semi-organized. When I someday have a child and need to create a nursery, I imagine some of my bags will need to be sold just to clear out a closet... :girlwhack:
I'm glad to say that the majority of my bags look the same as they did the day I bought them, just a little slouchier/worn-in.
KATEV:
The only thing that worries me about the Real Simple Purse organizer (SO cool! Great idea, whoever thought of it) is that if the purse was particularly large/bulky.... say, your blue Sydney flap, Katev.... the elastic might press too hard into the leather over time, and might create ridges or creases. I might be completely wrong about that, and maybe the organizer would be worth a shot (lord knows, a purse collector needs to make the most of her space! I'm totally out of storage space right now, so must sell if I want to buy just to maintain sanity and not become a bone fide hoarder).
Also, every now and then you see a thread where some enterprising household pest has caused damage to a purse- spiders, etc. I think dust bags are important for this reason. I think the purse organizer would be okay if you also kept the bags in their dust bags, but I would never store a well-loved bag just out in the open (like in the pic on BB&B website).
Good luck!

I was just considering this the other day. For now my bags are in their covers on the top shelves of the closet. I thought about just getting bookshelves that are adjustable to display some bags but saw some better options on amazon.
Katev do an amazon search for the real simple and you should hopefully find a ton of reviews on it. Hopefully that can help if not too many people here have tried it.

thanks! I also store my bags stuffed and in their dustbags on the closet shelf, but they are taking over! I would never store them uncovered either. I will take a look at this product the next time I am in BBB (hopefully it's not an "online only" item.) I am also worried about larger bags, but perhaps I could use this for my smaller bags and free up some space for the bigger bags!
Thanks! The Real Simple product isn't sold on Amazon but I found some reviews on the BBB site; it sounds like it works best for smaller bags. I'm going to try and check it out the next time I am in BBB.
Sorry for such big pictures! I have no clue how to make them smaller!
I like to be able to see my bags so I keep them on display.
I store my LV's and accessories in this wooden cabinet (found it at Kmart).
I found this coat rack on Amazon that I hang my Coach bags on.
You've got some gorgeous bags on display!
I just bought my first Coach, as you may have seen earlier, but I was thinking about where to put her when the 2nd bag does come along. I thought it would be a sweet idea to "display" her in some way around the house. Wall art? Haha. Does anyone have a nifty way of doing this or have ideas? Is this a dumb idea? I just seems like a shame to box up a beauty and push her in the closet, you know?
I'm like you, I don't want to box mine up. I like to see them when I go in my closet. If I see them often it helps me to remember what I have so that I don't buy anything too much like another bag (unless it's on purpose).
Here's what mine look like:

haha, cute, they look like little dresses hanging! That's an easy way to do it if you change your bag everyday! I sooo don't have the extra closet space for that right now!
I plan on moving soon and one of my requirements is at least one extra bedroom to turn into a giant closet and vanity room!
I honestly don't change them everyday but I still like to see them.haha, cute, they look like little dresses hanging! That's an easy way to do it if you change your bag everyday! I sooo don't have the extra closet space for that right now!
I'd really like a bigger space but I fear that I'd want to fill it all up if I had it. Great idea about the closet/vanity room! I've always dreamed of having a room like that. I'd even put a real vanity with showgirl lights around the mirror LOL...this is why I don't need it, it would be so over the top!
Mine are lined up on a deacon's bench next to my bed. I have them in their dust bags to protect them. I guess you can say I display them in their storage bags. 
mine stay in their dust bags on the closet shelf.. a plus for me is that i love them again whenever i unwrap them!! for me, when i have something on display all the time (like my clothes lol) they seem boring, even if ive never used it or havent in a while
