How to organize your closet and handbags

Outstanding collection you have there-and beautifully stored as well!
How lucky these babies are as you’ve taken such wonderful care of them

Thanks, my babies would like it if I took ALL of them out more often!

Beautiful collection and great organization @muchstuff. I especially love all of your Days. Which bags do you carry most frequently?

If only we were like octopus and had more than 2 arms so we could tote more beauties around at one time

I honestly don't know . I haven't carried a Day bag for a long time (excepting for one day). My Chanel on the road hobo gets pulled out a fair bit, my medium striped Bazar is the absolute go to travel bag for all of my toiletries, blow dryer, meds, books etc., it's a great organizational bag. My black Arayla hobo gets out quite a bit, it's a no brainer when I'm in a hurry and can't decide. I adore my Row Duplex bag but save it and use it sparingly, not sure why, want to keep it pretty I guess. Love my BV Venetas as well. So I guess the easy answer is I pick away at everything and am trying to use more of them.

All the bags you mentioned sound lovely!

Thanks, I'm determined to start rotating in bags I haven't been using (or have yet to use, shamefully there are a few of those too).

Hmmm, do you think plastic would be OK though? I'd almost think that would be worse?

I cover my leather/suede jackets with a cotton pillowcase especially if I don’t wear it often. I periodically ‘air’ them out.

I really don’t know. You can ask Marco.

Good thought!

Gorgeous collection!
I definitely would not have plastic touching leather. I store my bags stuffed, vertical (or lying flat for ones that are slouchy) and not too squished together on shelves in their dustbags. No issues at all with this method over several years.

I just did a quick search on plastic and leather bags and the only thing I could find was a warning to not store leather IN plastic boxes because leather needs air or it could mold. But still you need to ask an expert.

Thanks, I've always stored them stuffed but if I can find a good solution I'll keep them out of dust bags, at least for the time being.

Thanks my friend!

I hate to admit this, but I have stopped stuffing mine and only a few of the more fragile ones are in dust bags. To be honest I plan to carry them and wear them out, lol, Now if I had a $6,000 bag I would probably feel different!

Funny, I was reading up on how to store your bags and many of the comments were clearly directed towards Hermes people. I guess if I paid that kind of money I'd be taking that kind of care as well!
