I could spend weeks and week sin there just tidying out and playing with clothes and accessories....
my first career of choice was as a fashion journalist.....where did it all go wrong?
If there is room, the ikea billy bookcases make good bag storage houses. The clear boxes look good too.
Not enough room for those I'm afraid, so it looks like the boxes are my best bet. Well, until I win the lottery....
The boxes do seem like a good idea and separating the handbags with the dustbag would also be good so you keep the dustbag with the bag but also prevent color transfer as a bonus.
The walk in closets look amazing. Oh my, I would spend hours and hours in there playing around with my stuff and rearranging my bags and shoes. I always say that I want to get in one of those closet organizer people (as I am saying "I know I have that blouse, now where in the world is it" to myself) but also know that it would probably cost a small fortune. It is nice to dream though

I keep most of my bags on top of the wardrobe in our hall. There is a shelf on top of it and so the majority of them fit there all in their dustbags. I have one more in a box on top of the bedroom wardrobe which I have to climb to access but that's my winter bag currently sleeping. Others are inside the wardrobe. I would love a better solution but though our house is a reasonable size there is no decent storage or indeed anywhere to fit more storage. We are not minimalist.
I find that if things are stored inconveniently then I tend not to maintain the storage properly as I get lazy.
I was just showing the photos of all the walk-in wardrobes to my sister, and also the clear boxes. She had the suggestion of putting the handbag in the dust bag inside the plastic box but attaching a photo of the bag to the outside of the box. I used to do this with all my shoes years ago (when I had a shoe 'thing' instead of a bag 'thing'). Hmmmmmm........
I would definitely NOT use any plastic boxes for storage of shoes or handbags- the leather goods are meant to breath, plastic is not ensuring that important ventilation. Only cardboard or wooden box is good enough for an expensive bag, but then is it not clear...
My solution is to fill the bags itself by some lightweight, brand new, clean, things (like a new jumper or a cotton fluffy towel (if not heavy) wrapped in a tender thin plastic bag) to keep shape, then put it on the shelf in the wardrobe or a closet, or to put the bag into its dustbag, then its paper shop-given bag and hang that bag by the rope handles on a hanger on a rail inside the wardrobe, so the Mulberry itself does not experience any pressure, but sits in its paper home, and is saves space at the bottom shelf of the wardrobe...
My husband comes and asks... "what shall I wear to such and such... for a change" I would say - have a look in my Mulberry bags...
If I keep only paper inside the bags, it is not fair on space... at the end of the day the bag is a container... should fulfil its purpose even when sitting in its dustbag...
