How do you store or display your purses/bags/handbags?

[qualitymama]

Some of you have pretty serious collections and with the amount of $$$ invested, it makes sense to display them behind glass. Reminds me of a display in a boutique.
Since I only have a few quality bags, I rotate often but use dust covers and also stuff my bags with an off season sweater or accessories. This really helps me conserve space.

I was told by sales lady at LV that the bags should not be left in the boxes. Best to just have them in their dust bags.

I am finally happy about my way to store my bags! At first I had them in their dustbags too but thought they deserved to be on display.. So I bought these two glass cabinet and put some lights in and I'm very happy with the result

Love this!! Not a fan of the price. 75$ for a dust bag? Yikes. Would look really nice, but with the amount of bags, I'm looking at around 700$ in dust bags.

I'm considering an Ikea Expedit with glass doors for my bags + other stuff. The separate compartments mean I can store one bag in each.

Use pillowcase if you dont have dust bag...

Is it OK to store nice bags in a plastic bin under your bed? I store some of them this way, and also put several together in the large dust bags.

I would be concerned about humidity inside a plastic storage container. Maybe something a little more breathable is better for your handbags.

This for me is the best bag storage idea I have come across on the forum. Here's a link:

I think the shelving is adjustable. I have also seen a YouTube video showing an alternative way to store bags. The lady uses boxes from Ikea and shows them 3.51 min into the video.

I hope this helps.

Some great ideas.

I store mine in dustbags but got tags from MiaCotone so I can see what bag is in which dustbag. I also print out little pictures of the bag because, yep, I'm that OCD.

Omg... this is so genius!! As a fellow OCD'er myself... I must say I really love this idea!

Hey everyone!
I have a problem, I have a big collection of bags, and when I got them, I would throw out the boxes, and stuff the bags with towels, and display it on my shelf. Well this isnt really the best way to store them, and I am looking to maybe store them in boxes. Unfortunately, I can't go into Hermes, Chanel, or Louis Vuitton and ask for more boxes, they would probably call the police on me. But I was wondering if there is a 3rd party box, or some sort of system that I can buy?
Any other ideas to store the bags would be greatly appreciated. I have most of the dustbags for the bags if that counts for anything.

Thanks in advance!

What's wrong with stuffing your bags and displaying them on the shelf? I was planning to install some shelves in my room and do just that!

The boxes should be acid free if you like or you can store them in their
dustbags or pillow cases. Stuff with acid free tissue paper or cotton t-shirts

Others have suggested hanging storage units meant for the closet.

I actually was thinking about investing in a curio glass cabinet...maybe I will come across one at a a furniture warehouse outlet.

I use clear plastic drawers from The Container Store. The come in various sizes and stack together. That way you can see what is inside and they are easily accessible.

A couple of suggestions I can make. The first is a company out of Hong Kong called - KISSABAG they have a range of handbag fillers designed to maintain shape of your bags. they may have an agent in the US or wherever you are. Secondly, there is a company in Texas called bagadocious who create storage bags that they print a photo of your bag onto the front, so you can organise them and see whats in there without having to rummage through. Both great companies.

hope it helps

Since it isn't good to store leather in plastic (they can't breathe appropriately), I store mine in long woven linen boxes. See picture I've attached.

I keep them in dust bags inside the boxes. I do have a few purses that are not designed to be placed in boxes. They actually are stuffed with seasonal sheets and in dust bags on a shelf in my closet.
