I have built in shelving in my walk in closet so they have their own area for safe keeping, and I keep the inside stuffed with white tissue paper to retain the shape and I always keep them inside of their dust bags.
 
It depends on the material that the bag is made. If it's leather, it should be stored in the dustbag only so that it can get some air. Leather needs air. Other materials such as canvas, cloth, or anything that isn't leather, can be stored in a box. I store my bags in the closet. My leather Balenciaga and other leather bags, I hang in my closet from my closet organizer. I also take a picture of each bag and stick to my dustbag so I have a clear view of the bag. It makes it easier to choose which bag to use. I have three Black bags but they have different hardware which may look better with certain outfits. I'm crazy huh? :p
 
I take the dust bags that come with the purse and stuff them with tissue, or the plastic that hangs over my dry cleaning and stuff them in my handbags. I make sure I vacuum them out really well and some time condition them with the coach conditioner and store them in my custom bags. They stay perfect for the next time I use them.
 
My bags are stored on their own deep shelving in the middle and bottom (not on the ground) of my closet where it is room temprature to slightly cool. They are all stuffed to keep their shape and stored in their dust bags. The few vintage bags I have that didn't come with dust bags, I had custom made with the brand and model of bag embroidered on the lower corner of the bag so I can identify them easily.
 
I apologize if this thread has been discussed before but being new to the site, I was curious how everyone else does it.

Unfortunately, I have mine their respective dust bags all stacked in the bottom and top of my closet b/c I don't have room to store them in labeled boxes so I find myself picking them up and trying to guess if I found the bag I am looking for by the weight/size (which of course, doesn't always work when you own 3 of the same bag but different colors as I do)...

How do you do it?
