I store all of mine in their dustbag and then in the box. I have all the boxes on a big shelving unit. I recently made labels (removable) for all the boxes so I don't have try to guess or remember what is in each box. This seems to be working for me so far. It keeps everything looking nice and neat and they are easily accessible.

I also did up a rotation schedule that I printed out and have posted on the shelving unit. I rotate every Friday so I have "new" bag each weekend.
 
I store my leather goods in their dust bags in my closet with the door closed. Is that bad because the door is closed and might have a smell inside the closet (possibly not enough air) or is that fine?
 
Kind of hard to see, but these are wooden square cubby spaces. I have them on 2 walls in my closet. I try to leave the dust bags open a little so I can see what I have.

I actually take a few out of their bags and set them around, rotating them every so often, so I can be reminded I don't need any more!

Lightdays - as long as you take the bags out to air they should be ok. Make sure the room isn't too dry or you can get white "blooming" on some leathers. If you get this, don't panic! It can be wiped off but you should wipe your bags down when you take them out to air anyway.
 
For me, I bought these shelves from Walmart about $30.00...the nice thing about them is they inter locked each other...

I have three shelves in my coat closet (I'll soon boot my husband's stuff and use the 4th!) that I use for my bags. I keep each in their original sleeper -- if I don't have one, I'll use another similar cloth cover. I photograph each bag, laminate the photo, and pin the photo to the outside of the sleeper. That way, I can put the bags on the shelf the 'thin way' (know what I mean...they are all facing the wall or each other rather than facing out....) and still know what is in each bag. Anal, yes. Effective, double-yes.

Wow! :amazed:
