How do you store or display your purses/bags/handbags?

[abandonedimages]

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 is my dream closet! Lovely way to store your purses!

I have a question! I apologized if it's been mentioned but 85 pages is too much to browse through . For those of you that store your bags in pillowcases instead of dustbags, is there any special fabric it should be? Or special detergent used to wash it? If it helps I'm thinking of doing it to one of my LV because I think the dustbag it came with isn't adequate .

jaijai1012, 100% cotton white pillowcases. Doesn't matter what you wash it with. The important thing is no color - just white. Cotton. (i.e., natural fiber).

Thanks for the warm welcome and I think you're right, there is so much here, even topics like parenting! Do you know when I'll be able to start my own thread? I'm starting to feel guilty having to invade other people's thread to ask questions. LoL

I keep mine in their dust bags and on shelves.

I keep mine in the same dust bag on top of my closet!

I keep my bags in the closet with their dust covers

Omg, so many put their bags in dust bags! Leather like skin need to breathe, stuff them properly and store where there's good air flow and dark

i'm guilty, i keep mine in their dustbags (see avatar) in a trunk. i also stuff them w/my old tees to keep their shapes.

I store my bags in their original cover. I have an area in my closet set aside for them.

I hang them in their dust bags on a 'purse rack' that hangs behind my bathroom door on the wall. Need a better solution, as I can barely open my door anymore!

I keep them in dustbags. I don't want to see them becoz then I'd get sick of them. This way whenever I switch bags, I feel like they're new and fresh again.

I have a bookshelf in my bedroom on which I display my bags. That way I can look at them whenever I want.... Though I do use dust covers on many of them.
