S/o organizing -- handbags?

[Deleted]

For those of you who have a decent number of handbags, how do you organize them? I have mine on the top shelf in my closet, in their sleeper bags, but they always look like a disaster because they're all different shapes and sizes (and I switch off bags often enough that I tend to make a mess going through them looking for a new one).

Organizing ideas or inspiration pics would be greatly appreciated

I really like the storage bins.

I store mine in a Rubbermaid tote

I had something like this in my old closet:



My shelf in my current closet it to tall. The bags I don't use often are in a clear tote and the ones I regularly use are hanging, like this:

I squish mine into a drawer in the living room.

I keep my receipts scanned and in e-mail and also in my fireproof safe, just so that I've got documentation of what I paid for them all if they're ever stolen / damaged.

That's something I should probably do too. And I should keep the tags and authenticity cards and such organized somewhere -- for now, I keep them in the bags which isn't ideal.

Haha, mine look like this. Terrible.

I don't have that many but I keep them in their bags and just organize by size and style on my top shelf. So large dressy to small dressy. Then large casual to small casual. Wo rks pretty well for me.

My current situation is a messier version of that I won't post a picture because everything about my closet is horrifying.

i do something like this. i've got some adjustable shelves in my close that aren't too wide, so i have a taller shelf for bigger bags and then a shorter one for small ones. they're just in their dust bags on the shelves. if the shelves were any wider, i'd probably use those divider things to keep them all from slouching so much.

My system is very similar to this. But I don't have really, really expensive bags--they are mostly Tory Burch/Kate Spade kind of level.

I also just store mine on the top shelf of my closet. Most of my bags are not designer/fancy and have no bags to store them in. I just try to keep them in some semblance of order so it doesn't look too messy.

I have two canvas bins that store smaller purses, which I keep in their dustbags. My only complaint with that is I sometimes default to using the purses I know are in there off the top of my head, and when I re-organize every now and then, I will "find" bags that I have forgotten about.

For my larger bags, I store them lined up on a shelf in my closet in their dustbags, in order of brand so they are color coordinated by the dustbags. Yes, I am that Type A. I do not ever stack them, and I've also put together cotton stuffed "forms", so they don't collapse, but keep their shape while being stored.

Like other posters, I have scanned receipts and taken photos that I keep with my insurance information.

Canvas bag people - take photos and adhere to the side of the dust bags. That should help, a little :-)

If they are leather you might not want to do that so they can breathe a bit.

Mine are stored like yours, and I'm thinking about getting those shelf divider things that clip onto the shelf to keep them more upright and limit the sliding around. They kind of remind me of bookends. I think they have them at Container Store.

In a pile at the bottom of the closet. I have one Coach bag in the box of its replacement, which I have been carrying for three years. I don't change bags very often.

For my smaller bags, I have one of these: rakkudesigns.com/iglu.asp

for my larger bags, they're on a set of three shelves in their dust bags, but it's not a pretty sight, because like you they're different sizes and it's kind of a mess.
