I stuff them with bubble wrap or anything else that won't rub or discolor (no newsprint...that's like using a <gasp!> wire hanger). If it's a bargain "find" and happened to not come with a cover, I commandeer an aging pillow case, then place them not too tightly into a covered Rubbermaid storage box (the 18-gal. size will hold 2 or 3 med.-large ones). I then find a place in an unused part of the closet...needless to say never the basement or garage. Anyone have good tips? I've seen some damage selling on eBay where you can see they've been crushed in storage

I place them in there dust bags and put them on shelves.. Bubble rap would be an issue leather needs to breath..
My husband (the enabler) bought me a tall wooden chest with glass doors to keep my extra special purses in. My others are sitting on a shelf in the closet. I like to see where my money's gone. lol
I do the exact same thing as you....stuff each bag with bubble wrap or packing pillows and cloth pillows that I've personally made for certain bags, put them into a large plastic container (of course in their dust bags) and into my closet. You can't go wrong doing that. My bags fit nicely and I don't over stuff the containers so every bag comes out perfect.
If they are in season, then they are on the top shelf of my closet, stuffed with tissue, on top of their dustbag.
If they are out of season, they are in my other closet, stuffed with tissue in their dustbags in a storage box.
Tedious, I know, but they look great every time I pull them out!

Mine are in dust bags on open shelves in my bedroom. If a bag is too floppy or can't stand on its own I stuff it with acid free tissue. I put store receipts, care booklets, authenticity cards, and labels in acid free plastic envelopes so they won't fade.
I store them in clear containers bought at the Container Store. Then all the containers are numbered and there's a computerized-type of list with what numbered container each handbag is in and where that numbered container is located in the closet. I have over 80 handbags so organization is essential.
mine are either in our chest or in the closet in a clothes hamper...either wrapped in plastic bags or the dust bags they came in. Eventually after we get everything major for our house bought I'm going to get a nice curio cabinet for all of them and display them in the living room for everyone to see.
I stuff them, put them in their dust bags, & keep them in the cabinet where I store my bags. I group them by season, then by color so it's easier for me to find what I want...I change bags frequently.
I use some of the many shoe sleeper covers I have and select the right size and color to the bag and stuff the sleeper with tissue paper and then stuff my bag with the stuffed sleeper.
The bag is then placed in it's sleeper and placed in the closet.
No boxes and the bag gets air when I use it.
I started stuffing tissue paper in the extra shoe or random old bag sleepers - as I hate taking the tissue paper out of a bag and having the paper everywhere. This way it is nicely contained and easy in and easy out.

I have a pretty good wire shelving system in our walk in purchased from the Container Store. GREAT for my shoes, but not so much for my bags since when we put in the system, I wasn't obsessed with bags yet! I've got all my bags on the top shelf in their dust bags, however I've got storage boxes on the top shelf on their sides, no lids with 3 bags in each one of those so the bags aren't all leaning against each other.
