What do you all think of this purse organizer? (For those of us with smaller closets/smaller collections/less valuable collections)

Classy or tacky?

I think because it has the shelves underneath each bag they could be stuffed and placed in dustbags if so desired, instead of folded and stuffing multiple on each shelf, like they show.

I like it! Anything that keeps your bags organized is a good idea. I can't stand to see closets where everything looks like it's just been thrown in. At least with this, you can see and appreciate what you have.:smile1:

I keep mine in my closet, in their sleeper bags, inside several large rubbermaid totes lined up on the floor under where my clothes hang. I can't display mine on shelves or the like, then my hubby would know how many I have. ;)

If he knew....he might cut me off. :amazed:

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!!

Your closet seems like a really fabulous and glamourous setup!! I cant live without the 3-way mirrorrrrss!! LOVE. How good did it feel to purge the oldies?? I need to do it also. did you raise any $$$ from it? or donate to a good cause? ;)

Love your house.. enjoy all its GLAM girl!! I have a bid in on a new home also, cant wait to show all what i come up with!:yahoo:

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! :)

I wish I had room for a nice display cabinet, but my house is small and we lack in closet space. Mine are currently in plastic storage bins in my closet. The ones that came with dustbags are in the dustbags and then in the bins. I know people have said numerous times that storing them in plastic is bad, but I have no choice!

I'm looking for storage inspiration! Now that I've built up a sizable bag collection, (coming up at the twenty mark!,) my thoughts have turned to displaying and storing them. I don't know if I should do something built-in for my closest, or some pretty display case.

I'd love to see what everyone has done with their collections and the pros and cons!

Can I have some ideas & photos of where you store your bags? No room for a walk in wardrobe:graucho:
I would like the everyday bags to be easy to access & on view. The “babied” ones need to be in their dustbags but still easy to identify and easy to take out. I also have some older ones that I rarely use but can’t part with

I have loads & would like to store them all in one place or I just end up not using them all :laugh:
