I keep them in their boxes, and I label the box with the name and style # of the bag inside. I have them on shelves in my closet, but now they are also stacked on the floor in the closet (good thing it's a big closet!). Most of my house is total chaos (I have 2 teenagers and a 7 year old), but my bags are very organized! :yes:
 
I keep mine in their dustbags, stuffed and packaged in their giftboxes to prevent them from being smooshed. I have this strange fear that if I do not do so they will get weird wrinkles or creases from sitting funny.
 
Oh gosh, I'm so frustrated because my BF and I are living in a small one bedroom apartment with the most miniscule closets ever! There are only two (one coat closet, one in the bedroom) and each is maybe a third of the size of a standard closet. I already have two hanging racks of clothes in addition to the closets being stuffed. There's not really enough room to get a wardrobe for the bedroom. Right now I have stuffed the bags that need to be, everything that has a dustbag is in it, and the bags are placed into fabric bins. I've definitley got to come up with something better than this! Though in my last place, i had them all in a filing cabinet (which actually kind of worked well). Ah, being a young 20 something in the city!
 
Thanks to BagFetish's suggestion:tup: on this awhile ago, I do the same. It makes it so easy to rotate bags. I even went and made tags with clips to hook to each dustbag, it simplifies looking for a specific bag. :yes:
The cabinet is from Ikea...I bought the Billy Bookcase with doors.

I have one dedicated bag closet with shelving, and two other closets plus an armoire that has a lot of bags as well. I store them completely stuffed with packing materials inside their dust bags one shelves. I also use photo IDs for each bag so that it's easy to tell which one is which, and I also keep brands together as much as possible so that I can find them easier in general (since they are in multiple locations).

I love this idea! If only I had enough room in my apt. Right now I don't even have room for a full sized ironing board :crybaby:

my BF always teases me that we need a two bedroom apartment so we can use one of the bedrooms just as my closet. Unfortunately, he's actually right (i have that many clothes, hats, bags, shoes, etc) But that's not exactly an option at the moment. I need to come up with a good space saving solution for all my lovely bags.

This is SO me. In my house, we utilize one room for most of our (meaning my stuff) clothing, shoes etc. Then in our bedroom, I have more clothes, shoes (the fancier stuff) and candles (I have run out of space for all the candles I buy) in the closet. Plus miscellaneous clothing in my drawers in that bedroom.

But I digress :D

Mine are stored in the dust bags in a cabinet in the hallway- no tags though (I love that idea!) since I rarely rotate them out...I end up just buying new ones to add to the collection then off to the cabinet they go. I store matching accessories within the purses so I don't have to go hunting for them.

So smart and organized!!!!
Organized is one word that people would not call me. With my Coach collection I'm organized within my dis-organization (that will probably only make sense to unorganized people like myself!!). I have all wristlets in one bag, capacity wristlets in one bag, sunnies in one bag, wallets in one bag, "other stuff" in one bag, and my purses are all over the place in diff. shopping bags and the older ones are just hanging out in the open(right side of pic) but the newer ones are in their dust bags.

Only my pouches are in boxes (but they don't have pics. on the front to identify which ones are in each box- must remember to do this!!!). Whenever I buy something new I keep having to keep smooshing stuff together into fewer bags so my husband won't notice.

I just ran upstairs to my closet to take a quick pic. Notice how my wire shelving (hate this stuff!!) has collapsed for the third time now so I've given up and just keep asking my husband if we can get built-ins like this.....(2nd pic). So far, he's not biting because I'm the only one who really uses the closet, all his clothes are folded in bureaus so I can only dream for now.

I used to keep mine stuffed, in their dust bags and lined up on a shelf. But my wonderful SA associate gave me some extra boxes, so now everything is in individual boxes. I'm in the process of taking pictures of each individual item and will adhere it to each box and put the boxes on shelves. This should make it so much easier to switch out bags.
 
HI purse lovers,

I'm a newbie, found this useful purse forum while searching for a good purse storage in the net. Anyway, I have this problem about my Coach purse.. I just realized when I got home that it doesn't have a dust bag inside of it. I contact the customer service of the Coach but they said they can't assist me with my problem, I even asked to pay for it.. Beggin if they can send or something. But they didnt helped me at all.

Have you experienced the same thing too?

Another thing, IF ever Coach wouldnt give me any dust bag for the purse.. Is there any stores or online store that I can buy like dust bags for my purses too?

PLS HELP ME!! thanks!!
