This is the perfect solution, I think, to just hanging your bags by their straps.
How do you store or display your purses/bags/handbags?

I've taken to hanging my lighter ones on the doorknobs of my closets. They're not as indenting as hangers or hooks and it works for my puddly unstructured bags with wider handles. I do use a bookcase too (it's too broken down to carry the weight of actual books!) but the unstructured ones would just collapse into a blob unless I stuffed them with paper but I hate doing that since I have to remove the paper every time I use one. They're unstructured anyway!
I also hang the small shoulder bags on hooks but if the straps are leather I usually lay them over the straps of cheaper bags or canvas straps. It's all about not having a hard crease. If they're small bags or not too structured I find that it's not necessarily better to store them flat or sitting vertically since the weight of the bag itself scrunches it down and eventually creates creases too, unless it's stuffed totally full in which case I feel like I'm just stretching it in other ways.

Hello Everyone,
I Was Just Wondering How Do You Organize, Display, Or Store Your Wallets, Handbags, Coin Purses, Or Keyfobs?
My Cheaper Wallets & Coin Purse Are In Cute Little Decorative Boxes.
For The More Expensive Wallets I Put Them In A Shadow Box.
Most Of My Handbags Are in Dustbags Or Hanging Up In My Closet!
I Will Post A Few Pictures Of My Wallets & Handbags!
(I Used Some Of The Wallets Twice In Some Of The Pictures)
Please Feel Free To Share! I Am Always Looking For Ideas On How To Display, Store, & Organize My Items!

Bags in dustbags and store flat. I have this mentality of bags slouching when its store upright on flat surface.
Accessories in boxes but not dustbags. Quite troublesome to put it in dustbags. And the boxes come with soft sponge.
And everything goes in my drawer. Quite space constraint in my room. So thats the best "room" i can get for them.

As my bag collection increased, I've ended up storing my bags in different places. In the next month or so I'm moving, and I'm having my own bag cabinet built 
but I have a feeling I'll get a lot of inspiration from this post

Sadly they don't have a special dedicated space yet, so they lie flat on the top shelf of my closet. I moved from my parent's house to my grandparents', and my closet is MUCH smaller than the one I used to have. The wonderful displays I could have made are gone now 
I bought the Ikea Hemmes Mirrored Dresser to store my bags in , I have run out of room in my closet so hopefully this will hold everything
I also have very little storage space - all my bags are in a drawer except the one I'm using at the time and I keep it on a shelf by my bed at night.
The one time in my life I had a walk-in closet was when I was a child (we weren't wealthy, the house had been built that way) with next to nothing in it - I used it as a playhouse! I wish I had it now, I'd build shelves on one whole side and collect lots of bags.

I just moved so right now mine everything is a mess and kinda throw in my closet. I hope to buy/build a display case for my bags and a separate one for jewelry. Not sure about scares and belts yet
Mine are covered with the cotton bag that comes with the bag and placed in a rubbermaid container. that I can see through.
I just found this purse shelf organizer thing online for like $25...it's a pretty blue color and I'm thinking of getting it. The Container Store has some too but super expensive.

I Had One Of These. I Actually Spent $30+ on mine. It was the worst product I ever purchased. It Is Just Made of Cardboard, and building it was a pain. I just threw it away after a few days.
I complained to the company and they gave me a full refund.

I store them in their dust bags. Totes I stuff with cushions or air bags to keep their shape, and they stay upright. Clutches are filled (if not hard) and laid flat. I store them in my built in wardrobe which has shelves. I need to find another way to store them because I'm running out of space!
