This all looks amazing! I'm thinking how I could add these display cabinets to my home.
Thank you for sharing [emoji5][emoji1360]

Works in theory but in reality you will just buy more display cabinets
I love every piece in your collection, absolutely gorgeous
Congrats on your awesome collection!It is really beautiful to see! Just pay attention to light and dust: the Detolf are not dust proof (my hubby uses them to display his toy cars).
It would be a shame to ruin such beautiful pieces!
Just out of curiosity - how does dust ruin bags? I definitely see how sun can make the color fade, but isn't it easy to wipe dust away without harming the bag? Or am I missing something? Am thinking of buying a display like this and want to know the pros and cons before

Thank you!! And you are totally right, I will most likely find space for more eventually!!

Agreed - all I need to do is occasionally dust them off, which certainly won't harm them. Plus, most of my bags are used regularly enough that they won't collect much dust. Especially being behind glass, I don't think they will get very dusty. I'll keep you posted though!
Love this! You have two bags that are on my upcoming wish list. Can I ask which of all your bags is your favorite?
Sorry OP for answering in your thread. My Favorite bag, that's a hard one. At the moment my Neverfull is the one I wear the most due to work and then Chanel, Pochette Metis and YSL for weekends in that order. Chloe is my Spring/summer bag and the other gets a holiday. Cara is a perfect city weekend bag as can wear as backpack. Least favorite is Bayswater due to weight.
Can I ask what bags are the ones on the left most column? Seems like you have that in several colors? [emoji4]
I always think about storing my collection differently, outside of their dustbags, because they're just too troublesome to pull out of the dustbags and put back in. I have shelving like this built into my closet but I find I display them like you do but in the dustbags still. I don't rotate often because of this. I just don't know how I feel about them being exposed to dust all the time. In the past, I've had dust change the texture of one of my leather bags and now I'm too scared to keep them out. I looove the look and ease of open displays like yours though. I would love to see my collection everyday. Love your items by the way
I love it! Looks great! I have a display case from Ikea as well but not as new and fresh looking as yours. Mine is over 10 yrs old. I was just rearranging my closet today and have no idea what to do with all the boxes. I love to keep everything but it takes so much space.

I'm not an expert, but I've read that the leather breathes and dust might clog its pores and eventually make it more prone to dry and crack.
Of course keeping the bags regularly cleaned this shouldn't be an issue.
Given that I love the way OP arranged her lovely collection!
Thank you!! I love to keep the boxes too, and now that these bags aren't in my closet, I have lots more shelf space to store the boxes.
