Are handbags best stored hanging or on shelves? The last child is moving out and I'm trying to put a positive spin on this by thinking of the extra walk in closet I'll have to store my bags and shoes in. I want to make sure I do it right.
Most are better on shelves. I like to store hobos and duffles hanging. If you hang you have to make sure the strap doesn't get stretched or get folds in it. If a bag is really floppy, hanging seems better to me. All other bags are better on shelves. Some of my duffles I put on shelves laying down so they don't get weird wrinkles from slouching. Some bags should be stuffed before storage.
 
I have one in glovetanned leather and was hoping it would be more flexible and stretchy but only the main compartment in the middle is like that. The card slots on the exterior are still tight and they kind of bend my cards outwards. I'm hoping the leather will stretch with more use. My current favorite is a zip card case in pebble leather I picked up from the FOS sale for about $18. It looks like this https://www.coach.com/coach-zip-card-case/22879.html and is super easy to slide your cards in and out. I highly recommend it! :biggrin:
Thank you so much for the info. I saw the glovetanned one and was drawn in by the vermillion. But not worth it if it's more frustration.

I was constantly flipping the straps or even hanging the bags crooked to keep from getting bends in the strap. So to prevent the folds / bends in hanging bags, I use generic chain straps I bought off ebay. They work on bags that have rings to clip them on as well as bags that have buckles.....just clip them on to the buckle. No more bent strap worries.

No problem! It's also really tight and I have a hard time getting my cards out but smooth leather does stretch with use. I did see the one you posted as well as the blue/purple one at the outlet for 50% off recently. Good luck finding one that works for you!

I like mine on shelves. I don't know what I'm doing, but I imagine the stress on the leather would be damaging over time if left hung up.

What did you think? This bag is so loved, but I can't picture it looking right on me. I wonder if I'll actually try one on someday and be amazed that it actually does work. I haven't heard of anyone not liking it.
Ohh u have got to try it. It is sooo beautiful. The leather lining inside makes it all the more luxurious. The zips are smoother than any other coach bag i have had. The leather seemsto be more prone to scratches but all in all its a very well made bag.

I am still debating cus i like to keep a cery very limited collection- less than 7 bags. So i prefer each bag have its own purpose. But the nomad is making me want to make an exception to this rule. Its gorgeous

I love the Chelsea Crossbody that's similar in shape but half as tall. It's great you are keeping your collection in line with each bag having a purpose! I used to have one bag at a time, and now I want one in each color I love to wear. I'm limiting to the space in a shared closet though. It's good to have what we use and enjoy.
