There are some very droolworthy closets in this thread 
I store most of my bags in an armoire in my bedroom. The bags that I use most frequently I usually just hang up in my closet, but most of my modest collection is in the armoire, along with little wallets/wristlets and a box I keep scarves in.

It has been interesting to see some of the great ideas that people have for storage and how organized some people are. We just moved into a new home and I asked for a cabinet with glass doors to be installed in the master closet just for my handbags. In our old home, I stored them on an open shelf, in their dustbags, but I didn't like not being able to see them, or having to take several out of their bags to try on with a particular outfit and then having to put them all back. I guess I'm lazy!!
So, now I don't need to use the dustbags and I can easily see what is where. The cabinet is deep enough that as my collection grows, each bag can be turned sideways to accomodate up to four or five bags per shelf. Before we moved I purged my collection of all of my old Coach, LV, Gucci and Burberry bags that I never used, so right now my collection looks pretty small. I need to do some shopping!
Some of these pictures were taken the day we moved in, so the closet is empty except for my bags. They were the very first thing I put away in the whole house! We also have a three way mirror that is in a small dressing area between the closet, bedroom and bath and it is a perfect spot for trying on my bags and accessories. The small drawers on my side of the closet are for storing small accessories. My closet isn't as fancy as some I've seen on here, but I still love it!!

I have a corner where I place all my bags. I used to store them in dustbags, but since I rotate them quite heavily it became too much of a hassle. So I leave them out, plus it's easier for my eyes too, because there are times when I lost track of the number of bags I have.

In a drawer, in the dustbag if the bag came with one. We have very limited storage space so I can only have 5 or 6 bags at a time and if I want something new I have to give one away to make room. The only time I ever had a walk-in closet was when I was a child and only had around ten outfits and two pairs of shoes. I'd love a closet like that now, one whole wall would be devoted to bags!
Haha...for real, mine are taking over the whole entire house! They're in the living room...in the kitchen...in the hallway...everywhere! I live in a small townhouse that's def not well equipped to house my purse habit! I do, however, have a spare bedroom that I use as my "purse and shoe closet". I have floor to ceiling racks for all my shoes, and I buy cheap plastic shelving units that snap together for all my bags (you can find them where they sell tools or where they sell laundry racks and such, at Wal-Mart or similar stores). Each has like 5 shelves and they work great for storing your bags. I need to get more organized...when I do, I'll post some pics! 
Thank you! Too bad I don't have Carrie's shoes and handbags. Or her closet from the second movie.
Love4MK, pinay28, OVincze - Thank you! It may not be fancy, but it is big and organized. At least my side is - I wouldn't dare show pictures of my husbands side which is usually his things thrown in a pile on the floor!
My nicer bags go in their sleepers, and then I've got 3 storage "cubes" that fit on a shelf in my closet that they go into. My other bags that aren't leather are just in the cubes unprotected. I toss the boxes immediately, I don't have enough room to keep them!
