How do you store or display your purses/bags/handbags?

[Roe]

I have a mini walk in closet that its sole purpose is to have my bags in it. Some are hanging from hangers as if they were clothes. Some are drawers, Some are in boxes that they came in and alot of them are in their dustbags on the top shelf.

What about keeping their shape? Stuff with tissue or what?

Definitely stuffed with tissue to retain the shape, each in a sleeper bag, some in boxes, all ut of the way of any dust. All leathers, and especially the python and alligator, get frequently nourished to keep supple.

i keep them in my purse and shoe closet on the shelves out of their dust bags so i can admire them. plus i wear them more if i can actually see them!

The lady at the LV boutique gave me a good tip: don't store your good bags on the shelf at the top of they closet...it's warmer up there and the leather will dry out more quickly. So I've migrated my good bags down to the bottom of my closet in their cloth storage bags.

Yes exactly thats how I store my handbags.

I just got a leather bag that came with a dust bag and I know I need to store it there, but then it, also, came in a very thick cardboard box (much nicer than a regular gift box.)

Do I store it in the dust bag in the box when not in use or just the dust bag?

I could have sworn I heard that I wasn't supposed to store leather bags in cardboard boxes, but wasn't sure if that was right.

Thanks!

Most girls would just put the bag inside the dustbag and store it in their closet, shelf, etc. Something along the lines of allowing the leather to breathe. It will age and soften better over time.

So it might be better if you just keep it inside the dustbag and store it somewhere like in a shelf, or a closet. But I wouldn't recommend keeping it in a box.

Leather needs to breathe, so I wouldn't store it in the cardboard box.

 

[uwhuskygirl]

Ok, that's what I was thinking too.

Thanks ladies!

Ugh, damn spambots. They're so sneaky.

Wherever you store it, make sure it doesn't get crushed. Better to keep it in the box than have it get flattened.

Maybe in the box on a shelf with the lid off? one concern about storage in the box would be mold if you're somewhere humid.

 

[pro_shopper]

Yeah,

i also heard that storing it in the box dries out the leather...but I store all my bags in the dustbag and in the box. I haven't had any problems with my bags.

I searched for a thread on this topic, but couldn't find one..

Was wondering how you ladies store your handbags? I have a mini walk in closet, but I have very limited space believe it or not on storing handbags. All my shelves consists of shoes. I'm about ready to buy a book shelf or something to store my bags. Can you please tell me how you do it, and if you have a picture that would be great! Thanks!
