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.

Thank you. I feel it's too busy but...it's like love all over again when you take them out of the dust bag.

Rather than in their dust bags? So many youtubers and instagrammers have theirs out on display and I would love to as well! I would love to be able to see and admire my purses each day rather than their dust bags lol and it sure would make rotating items a lot easier too. BUT, we all know that the best way to store them is in their dust bags....

So how detrimental is it having items out on display vs in their dustbags? Do they get incredibly dusty? What if you rotate bags frequently enough? My entire collection is canvas plus one emprient purse if that makes a difference ...

Would love to get some input!
 
As much as I'd love to display my collection I wouldn't leave any out with vachetta as it will patina faster and look darker than I'd like to. if you have older bags with vachetta it would be ok. Mine are in there dustbags in a cool ventilated cupboard with a damp rid container to prevent any moisture from humidity. Other bags I'd like to leave on display though.
 
I had a custom built two door wardrobe for my bags. I wanted my bags to be kept out of sunlight but ensure the leather could still breathe. I don't keep them in dust bags to make for easy day to day rotation. I like to have them on view for me, but can easily close the doors so no guests passing my room can see the collection.
 
Sunlight would be more damaging than dust I imagine. If you keep them in the dark, I think it would think it okay? It certainly is very convenient to have the bags In view and ready to go. Same with shoes. Just be careful of colour fade caused by exposure to light!

My bags are on display if they are in season. My spring/summer bags are on shelves now, and in October I will switch them for the fall/winter bags. The off-season bags are in their dustbags in the closet.
They are not on a real display, they are simply on shelves in my bedroom.

As a tidbit, I don't think all those YouTubers & IGers keep them like that all the time. Minks4All has said she only takes hers out of their dustbags for filming - they go right back in afterward. Remember these YouTubers & IGers show a very "curated" part of their day/life.

Mine aren't on display. I don't like visual clutter and honestly while I love my bags I would feel weird putting them on display where others could see them. They are still at the end of the day bags for hauling my crap in. The only ones not in their dustbags and in cupboard/drawers are the ones in current use. I do rotate quite frequently though so I can still enjoy them :)
