Where do you store your handbags when not in use?

I've got a few (too many!) bags. They are under the stairs, in my bedroom and there are also two residing on the spare chair at the kitchen table. I want to get my act together a become more organised.

Where do you keep yours?

In a glass fronted IKEA storage unit in my spare room .

Great question. Mine are slung at the top of my wardrobe, it’s a wholly unsatisfactory storage solution. Ideally I’d have hooks to hang them from

In a large plastic crate at the bottom of a cupboard.

On the shelf in the top of my wardrobe.

Hanging in the wardrobe

Lucylugs · 07/11/2018 19:31

Hanging in the wardrobe on a sturdy wooden hanger from shortest strap to longest. Take up very little room. Although I did see someone on a decluttering show using shower curtain hooks to hang them on a rail. Thought that was quite clever.

I have a beautiful coat stand in the corner of my bedroom (and also one in the spare room 😳) that I hang bags (either from straps or in their dustbags) and belts from...

Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit · 07/11/2018 22:06

Stored and packed in their dust bags and then put in their boxes in my dressing room.

StylishMummy · 07/11/2018 22:25

4 x 4 white oak veneer kallax unit, each with its dustbag folder underneath and matching accessories Blush

eddiemairswife · 07/11/2018 22:35

I have one handbag.

Ginkythefangedhellpigofdoom · 07/11/2018 22:43

One on top of the wardrobe, one one the back of the couch the rest all in a holdall bag Blush

None of them are worth any money though so no dust bags needed!

BillyAndTheSillies · 07/11/2018 22:53

Handbags have a hierarchy in this house.
Every day bags go on hooks in the cupboard under the stairs.
Evening/clutch bags inside a longchamp weekender in the spare room and the "big dogs" as DH calls them are stored in their boxes and dust bags at the top of my wardrobe.

CrazySheepLady · 08/11/2018 05:40

In dustbags on the top shelf of my wardrobe.

It's all looking a bit messy and disorganised just now so I'll need to ask my husband to help sort them all out.

EmpressJewel · 08/11/2018 07:53

In the drawers underneath my bed.

NoMalone · 08/11/2018 09:55

I have Ikea Fintorp rails on a wall with hooks and they hang from that. Thanks Pinterest!

Great thread! I keep mine in their dust bags on a shelf inside my wardrobe but it’s hard to find the one I’m looking for.

@happygirlnow I like the sound of your coat stand, any chance of a picture?

Strongbeatsskinny · 08/11/2018 22:14

Mine are in dust bags in my dressing room.

HappyGirlNow · 08/11/2018 22:25

@twosoups

I have this one in my bedroom as it’s white

And similar to this in a spare room but chrome..

I’ve added a photo of the one in the bedroom but it’s not a good photo, looks better in real life.

Coat stands let you store lots of bags and scarves in a small space without damage.. I spend a lot on bags and scarves 😬

Thank you @happygirlnow such a great idea. Might have to find a corner in my bedroom!

ThankYouDebbie · 14/11/2018 08:59

Under the bed. It's one of those lift-up storage ones so they can be chucked in with relative abandon and it's all tidied away.
