I have several racks, two in my regular closet and two in the extra/storage closet. Please excuse the huge mess in the storage closet, I need to donate about 5 garbage bags full of my brother's old clothes, and quite a few other things. once I get that out of the way, I will bring the other two racks downstairs and have everything together. but these are huge 7-8 foot racks with five huge shelves, all full of bags of course, and the great thing is, I can fit four additional in the storage closet, so once I bring the two down from my master closet, I will still have room for two additional racks. Each rack fits 30-40 bags [or more if I can stack them on top of each other / soft leather or canvas bags], depending on size, for larger bags I can get five or six on each row. Also, this ceiling has huge / high 12 foot ceilings, so I can get very high shelving so I can fit more bags or more things to store up higher.

moved the closer one downstairs, now only the one on the backside of the wall

this is actually the one smaller rack. I have three large racks, and this one is a bit smaller, I put my Dooney Canvas bags on this one because I can lay them flat and stack them up on top of each other, two columns per row, so I get a lot of bags on it.

Holy cow, you have a lot of bags! ;) It looks difficult to store all of them, but it looks quite organized to me.

I keep mine in a dustbag, and stuff with old clothing I no longer wear, such as sweatshirts for my larger bags.

thanx, I have to keep it super organized or it will be total chaos. I use old towels to line the shelves so my bags won't rub against the hard surface and scratch the bottom

Those links are great reads!

You might try writing what the purse is on a paper tag and attaching it to the dustbag strings using a twist tie or colored ribbon.

You could also use colored paper for the tag or partially color the tag to more quickly identify what the purse's color is.

i use a fabric shoe organizer and lay it sideways along the length of the closet for all the mini-bags. and the larger totes just sit at the bottom of the closet in dust bags. i tend to only use dust bags for Chanel items, and i turn the dustbags sideways so i can see the color/style of the bag peeking out. and they are all nicely stuffed with tissue or air packets.

This is also a great tip.. & one can use various color ribbons for
clutches, satchels, totes, etc

I do not store any of my bags in any plastic material of any kind
& I only use acid freee boxes acid free paper, dustbags (all natural material)
or cotton t shirts/cotton towels to help keep their shape..
Leather needs to breathe & plastic , bubble wrap for me doesn't work..

I recycle boutique ribbon as labels, cut & pinned to dustbags.
I write bag name, leather type, color.
For same style/different color bags, I draw colored dots with permanent marker--see color @ a glance on label.

Hope helps.
