Hiya, I searched around and could not find any threads on what people use to display their collections. Can someone be kind enough to point me to some threads that show these?

Thanks!

Hi, did you ever find the answer, as I would also love some ideas on where to put my bags. I know how to store them it’s where, so they are easy to access and all in one place:D

Too funny: I just ordered a billy bookcase from IKEA for my husband, so that I could steal his bookcase for storing bags in our walk-in (I'm running out of room).

I actually just bought shelving units from ikea and put them in my closet. I also purchased some drawer units (for wallets) that conveniently install into the cubes
Of the shelves and also some cupboard style doors (for clutches). I have purchased mass quantities of polyester fill, stuffed various sized ziploc bags and stuffed all my bags to keep shape.

Hi ladies,

I am in dire need of storage suggestions for my purses. I do not have a walk in closet. My room is quite large, but my closet is tiny. Right now I have all my purses either laying out on the floor (shameful, I know!), or stuffed in plastic bins that lay under my bed. I don't like this technique because I forget which bags I have an end up NEVER using them.

I want to store them in my room somehow so that they will be visible to me. I have about 20 bags. I was thinking maybe some linen boxes from the container store, but I am worried I won't be able to see them.

I have a good amount of space to store them...

open to any suggestions!!!!!! TIA!:cool:

Do you have room to install some shelving units? I put some extra ones inside my walk in closet to compensate for all the bags I have. They are really easy to use and are inexpensive as well. Or you can get some storage cubs too! Google it. There is an endless variety! Me thinks I might pick up a few too! Good luck!

Depending on the size of your bags, I like to use the clear-front shoeboxes from IKEA or wherever you can find them (The Container Store has them too, but IKEA is cheaper if you have one by you). That way you can see what's inside at a glance. That's what I used for my bags, when I had too many.

ETA: You NEVER EVER want to store leather bags in plastic bins, NEVER. You are shortening their lives, whether color changes or whatever. The clear-front shoeboxes from IKEA that I have in mind are a linen-type material, the front fastens with Velcro so it's not 'sealed up tight' and allows your leather items to breathe.

You say your room is large... would you consider a glass front armoire or cabinet along a wall? Like the ones that have glass shelves and small lights inside the cabinet that are meant to hold porcelain dolls, curios, etc. I think those are perfectly wonderful for showcasing your bags.
