If you do a search for "closet" or organization or "storage" or something of that nature on TPF you will find a bunch of posts!

Some of my bags, especially the vintage ones, I wrap in a cotton fleece pillow case, since they don't have a sleeper. Works just fine. Mine are kept under my bed too.

Sorry, ladies if this topic has been covered before, but I did a search and I am confused about how to store my bags. Currently, I have my bags in their dustbags and in the box that they came in and I stuff them with plastic airbags. I also put two packets of the silica gel inside each box. I do not store my purses in the closet, currently I have them away from sunlight stacked on top of a bookshelf. So, far no problems yet. Please advise what's the best way to store bags? TIA.

I stuff mine with tissue paper (and put a couple of the silica gel in the bags) in their dustbags in their original boxes. I keep them in my walk-in closet. So far no problems.

If your bags have any leather on them, it's not a good idea to store them in the original boxes - there isn't adequate air circulation

in dust bags and out of boxes is what is recommended by the sa's

Hi there - i've started purchasing Chloe bags and now i want to keep them in good condition. So i was wondering how you store your precious bags?

I was thinking of buying large wall hooks - so they can be kept off out of harms way but also on display.....what do you think?

Just something like:

 

[ChiChi143]

When not in use, I stuff them with tissue paper to keep their shape and then they get put in their dustbag. I had my SO build me 2 shelves in my closet to store them.

I keep mine in their dustbags, stuffed with old t-shirts to retain the shape! Then they are all stood up on the top shelf of my closet, arranged by designer...my sweaters are stacked on my husbands side

If you used large hooks........are you certain they wouldnt leave a "dent" in the handles?

I have a coat rack I use! Some of my more expesive bags I put in their dustbags and then the other I just hand off the arms of the rack. The best part is I can keep them in display as well. I love the idea of using wall hooks! You could make a really cool display across one of your walls.

As mentioned the hooks will leave a dent in the strap, and if the bag isn't stuffed enough it can take on a weird shape from hanging.

I thought about hanging them on hooks but I was worried it'd damage the bag.

I keep mine on these two shelves I have in one of my closets. I just keep them on the shelf in there. I should probably keep them in the dustbag everyday, but I don't. Maybe i will start.
