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

[declaredbeauty]

In plastic tubs and a basket in dustbags. I would love them on the top shelves but unfortunately the top shelves are full of shoes.

There are threads about this, I want to say, in the bag showcase.

Heat rises so sticking them on high shelves increases their risk of damage due to humidity. Hanging them can stretch out leather straps. I stuff mine with plastic bags and dust bags and put them on shelves in my closet.
A lot of people protect all of their bags in dustbags, felt sacks and pillowcases but I can't be bothered.

I remember seeing random people with their purse closet, shelves, etc...but I'm not sure if there's an exact thread that regards all of what I'm about to ask. I tried the search for it, but couldn't really find anything. If there is, MODs feel free to close.

Anyways, I notice that my handbag and shoe collection is getting bigger. I personally use to hang all my shoes on a "door rack" and other racks inside the home. Now, that my handbag collection is extending, I need some space so my handbags can sleep successfully. I'm tired of them sitting on the floor in their dust bags. I want them to be up and stored somewhere that's "not in the way".

Anyways, I was looking into maybe purchasing some kind of "cubbie" like rack. I have the prefect spot and place to put in my room. I love IKEA, but the closest one is 5 hours away from me...but that won't prevent me from shopping there though. hehehe. I will go there to pick up things if I need to. I was perhaps looking at this one (pictured)...but I automatically already know it's too small and I would like it to have more cubbies on the side and perhaps no doors....just an open type of shelf. KWIM?

​

Anyone have any suggestions? What do you use or where do you store your handbags? I would like to know...I may want to copy

Thanks in advance

If you use the Search function, you'll find a really huge thread on this topic.

I have very few bags and most of them need to be laid flat, so they are in drawers.

I have a small built-in shelf inside my closet that I use to store my bags in.

I use to put mine in my closet...but my collection is growing and I would like them to be all together

I am also thinking about purchasing a rack/shelves from Ikea for my bags because I can't even walk into my closet anymore!

I have a plastic drawer unit from Target that I keep adding to. Right now I have all of my bags stored in about 10 drawers that are approx. 8 feet high. This is in my walk-in closet, which is not very big. I find this the most convenient way to store them. All the bags are in their dust covers, stuffed with tissue paper within the drawers. I tend to use one bag for a while, so it's not like I switch them out daily, which would be a complete PITA.

Mine are all in my closet on built in shelves in their dust/sleeper bags

I've purchased some cubbies that hang in one of my closets - - & my bags are in their dust bags in their own cubbie - -

I have a big medicine box, brought it off the wall and removed the handle. Now its a table with a place to store my bags in it. Just a white "box" in your living room is not a beautiful thing to look at, but you can fix that with a lot of paint and other decorative things. It may be in the middle of the living room, but it does not stand in my way while its being multi functional.
