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......

I was wondering about that too - I think I'm going to have a re-jig & use my plastic boxes for less valuable bags.
The photos idea is a good one too. I once saw a mini-printer which effectively turned a mobile phone into a polaroid camera - i.e. instant pics - that would be ideal!

I know dustbags are supposed to protect the bags, but I find them a real pain...Having all my bags in dustbags would mean me having to hunt for the bag that I want to wear...I have a cubed shelf storage with 12 cubby holes. 6 of the holes have cardboard boxes (from Ikea) which I store my Fendi Spies and Balenciagas (mainly because the leather is so delicate) They have label holders on the front which is super handy! Then I store all my other bags in the remaining 6 cubby holes, just lined up and easy to get to! (I tend to change my bags daily!) My wish of a walk in closet is still very much a dream of mine....one day :cloud9: Hubby, is not impressed that "our bedroom" is more a bag shrine than anything else! I would recommend using cardboard boxes to store bags than plastic, if possible as it better for the leather.

The site said that these boxes have ventilation holes so the leather can breathe - is this still not enough? :(

No, it is not enough at all! Leather of mulberry NVT kind is invinsible and will last 100 years literally, if properly stored. think of what happens to our feet if the liningt of our shoes is not a genuine leather... even if it is leather outside, but manmade inside, our feet become wet and horrible (have not tried since long time ago, any shoes with "manmade" lining are not to be even considered)... your bag also wants to breath through...

So we talk about purses we are getting and purses we lust after, but I haven't ever come accross a thread about how we store the purses we already have! I think it would be quite interesting to compare display/storage set-ups.

So, ladies, how do you store/display all your purses? We all know we can't wear all our bags in one day (sad, I know), so how do you admire them when you're not using them?

Pictures would be great!

:nuts:

I personally change every week. I would like to just match my outfits on a daily basis, but normally get too busy. I try to put them in order so that i don't forget any. It takes me a while to go through all my bags.
