Tips for Storing Your Handbags

Set a Game Plan

Depending on your space, you’ll need to decide where you are able to store your handbags. In a closet, look at shelf space, closet rod and open wall space. Keep the bags you’re using most frequently within easy reach and easy sight. Special occasion bags or those used less frequently can be stored in clear or labeled storage boxes — or even in out of the way places such as under the bed.

Protection is Key

To preserve their shape, stuff bags that will be stored long-term with acid-free tissue paper to preserve the shape. Bags made of natural fibers and leather should always be stored in a climate-controlled environment. If your bag didn’t include a dust cover for storage, store it in a pillowcase for protection.

Clutches

Because of their smaller size, many clutches are ideal for storing in a hanging shoe bag or stackable shoe racks. You can store one or two in each compartment so they’re protected and easy to see.

Shoulder Bags

You can choose to store bags with straps either in bins on a closet shelf, hooks on a closet rod or on hooks mounted to a wall. If hanging, please note that over time, the hook may damage the strap, so make sure only handbags you’re using and swapping out frequently are stored this way.
