I keep them in the dustbags they came in and store them in a shelf inside my closet (they actually occupy more than one shelf :p).

I've been told that bags need to "breathe" and shouldn't be kept in their dustbags for a long time, but I don't want them to get scratched in case something falls on them.

I think the bags can breathe in their dust bags - it's when they're locked into a plastic box or similar, where the air can't circulate, that you get problems. I'd rest easy, if I were you! :-)
 
ImageUploadedByPurseForum1433894882.303710.jpg how I store my bags! I found that by having them more out in the open I was more likely to rotate and use my bags. When they were store in their boxes I got too lazy to reach for them. These floating shelves are from Ikea and is no joke installing them I suggest you YouTube tutorials how to install them! I think they're part of ikea's lack line. My modest collection of my favorite handbags I chose to keep [emoji7]

If I'm getting my own place, I'm going to do this too. Such a clever use of shelves! Right now mine are just in dust bags. [emoji20]
 
I could not find a working thread about display / storage ideas. I don't like throwing them in bins or hanging them by their handles. If your are like me if I don't see them I 'll forget about them and not use them. What are some good storage ideas? Please post pics :)
 
My closet has a shelving section on the back wall that I use to store my bags. Evening bags go on a top shelf. All other bags are arranged by color and stored stuffed and on their bottoms. Only my Chanel goes in a dust bag and has fabric between the flap and body and between the chain handle and top.

I like to SEE my bags and I rotate them daily so they never get dusty - therefore, I don't use dust bags. Plus seeing them inspires my outfit for the day (yea, I pick the bag first. LOL!)

Because my handbag space is limited to these shelves, it keeps me honest about what bags I really want / use and what I don't. I have room for one or two more and then I'll need to do a one for one swap out.

(I'm starting the same purging - sell off unused / buy things I love - process on my clothes and shoes that I just went through on my bags. Who knows, that may open up another shelf on the side for handbags!!)

My shoes are in our lower level. I have a 7ft tall wire rack system for my shoes and store them in clear plastic containers. Boots are on an old two tier weight stand so I can stand them up.

i'd be interested in knowing, from people who have extensive collections of handbags, how you are able to find/organize your bags. i have lots of handbags all stored in dustbags, but when i want to use one - like a pink one, i can't figure out what dustbag the pink one is in without opening a few dustbags, which is annoying. is there a better system? a way to quickly identify what's in each dustbag? what do you guys do?
