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.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads-up! Maybe I'll check out Bed Bath and Beyond or something...I really want a shelf!! Haha.
 
All my high end bags are stuffed with packing paper (I don't know what you call that white, crinkly stuff) or air bags in order to retain shape and reduce wrinkling of leather. They are then put in dust bags and stored on the shelf above my closet. My low-end bags (coach, MBMJ, etc) are stuffed and dust bagged as well and go in a giant Rubbermaid bin at the bottom of my closet due to a lack of room. My throw-away bags just go to the bottom of my linen closet as is. Wallets go in their original boxes and dust bags in one of my dresser drawers.
 
I usually store my bags in the closet with their little dust covers (also if the still have them the box & bag). Then I shove them all inside my overflowing closet. LOL

Then the ones I wear more often are left outside. Sometimes I get lazy and just leave some outside. LOL[/QUOTE

I have a big box of bags I keep on a shelf in our guest room closet. My high end bags either go in the box in dust bags, or on the shelf if they don't squish down flat nicely (my two LV papillons).

My box of bags is a box of treasures to me. Old mix with new and some have memories attached like my red plaid coach that reminds me of my cousin who died from breast cancer. She had the same bag and it is long enough ago that it reminds me in a very nice way.
 
I converted a spare bedroom into a walk in closet last year and made sure to add tons of shelving for my handbags and a tiny desk for my home office (tells you where my priorities are, haha). I bought vintage locker hooks and installed them on wood rails to hang my slouchy purses.

I am trying to find the best way too, I have mine in dustbags (the ones that have them anyway) and on the top shelf in my closet. However I am looking for a better way, I am short and I hate having to climb up to get them!!
 
I have a large, floor to ceiling shelved closet. The shelves are currently spaced about 12 inches apart but are adjustable. At the moment my handbags are flat, stacked one on top of the other (in their dust covers). Is there a better way to store them?

My husband thinks they should hang from hooks. Seems to me that the leather might stretch if ]not supported from the bottom. Or would it better to go to the container store and buy giant open boxes?

All of my handbags are quite large.

I'm mystified. Any ideas?
