My friend years ago bought a large cabinet/hutch with glass top doors from a thrift shop. It might have been around five feet wide and was a piece you would store china in the dining room. She painted it white shabby chic with some distressing and took the glass off the doors then put gathered material on the doors attaching it to top and bottom so her bags could get air. Her bags were out of the way from getting dust on them and very organized. The bottom part shelves stored her shoes. It was a beautiful piece and I would do this if I had the room to put another piece of furniture in my bedroom.

This must look stunning… and what a creative way to store bags! They won't get dusty, because the unit has doors, but they will still get air, because she took off the glass. A photo of this really belongs in a magazine like "Real Simple," doesn't it? I just love to hear about people who repurpose thrift-shop finds in creative ways!

I LOVE this idea! I'm going to look for a cabinet in my local thrift stores now.

no matter how time consuming or annoying it is, my bags are definitely in the dust bags then in their original boxes with the original tissue papers inside covering the dust bags. definitely got to pamper those bags, they are worth quite the money!

love this thread, some of you guys are so creative! mine are just stacked on top of each other in their original boxes in the closet :p

I attempt to line mine up side be side in a deep shelf. Taller purses don't work well with this setup. I use plastic stuffing to display some in deep shelves with lots of width. My hubby moves my stuff if not neat. If all else fails, blue Rubbermaid works for my excess.

When storing I always stuff my bags with soft items I use seasonally (scarves) or rarely like old baby blankets. So when I am putting a bag away I know it will hold it's shape with something soft and gentle. Then the bag goes in the dust bag and I label them with the name of the bag. This also helps me with storage space since that is in limited supply.
