My husband assembled these cube shelves from Lowe's. I have a lot of old bags as well as newer ones. A few bags are in boxes so not shown. I feel much more organized and I can find what I'm looking for. Before this I had bags in dustbags at the top of all my closets. This extra room wasn't even being used for years. It took me a while to realize I could take over the space. Next will be more cubes for shoes.

Because my larger MM bags are unstructured (Soulmates and Selene Zips), I store them unstuffed and flat in their (labeled) dust bags. The smaller MM bags (Zhoes, Mini Zhoes, Phoebes, and a Flora are also unstuffed and in their original (labeled) dust bags, but stand side-by-side on the top shelf.

I am in the process of finding a good case to store them in their boxes for now but I constantly rotate my bags so I get to use all of them. Just a hassle taking it out of the box but I don't mind.

Hi :). Shelves in your closet is perfect because it's out of direct light from windows and such. You could put the shelves on display in a room and it would be just fine as well as long as the sun doesn't hit the bags and they're in their dustbags. Always keep your bags in their dustbags unless you rotate them very often (daily for example). The dustbags truly protect them while the cotton allows them to breathe. My very first leather handbag was so pretty to me that I kept it out of its dustbag and on my dresser- after about a year (I didn't use it daily or often) it actually developed a spot of residue on the leather. I took it into the boutique and they said it was from dust settling into the leather. I got full store credit even so, which was so generous of the fashion house. So your best bet is to use your dustbags :)

I would stuff the bags with tissue to keep their shape, and inside their dustbags. And try to give the bags space, not squeeze them. Once every two months, I will take all my bags out and clean them with a leather cleaner and conditioner. Because Singapore is very humid, and leather needs to breathe, the airing helps to prevent moulds.

:biggrin: Hi all!

I am a new member and I was wondering how everyone stores and displays their bags. I am looking for a way to keep everything nice and orderly. My handbag collection has grown somewhat and I am going to run out of closet space soon. Any suggestions?

First of all, Welcome! To answer your question, I always store my bags in the dust bag that was provided. I have the ones that I regularly rotate through on a shelf in my closet standing upright. The ones that I do not use often are kept in, again, wrapped inside their dust bag, then inside huge airtight storage containers. I always store my bags in the upright position to avoid any dents or creases in the leather.
