Your Handbag Collection

[kare2711]

The closet which I put my bags is so small

My newer bags are stuffed because I heard this should be the way to store the bags, and they're in their dustbag, if they have one. If not, I would hang them.

For the bigger ones or the ones with short handles, I can't hang them so I stack them on top of one another too. Not what I would really love for my bags, but limited closet space, so no choice.

So far everyone is stuffing their bags.....hmmm....

One trick I read is that to go and buy those humongo zip lock bags and stuff them with the stuffing so your bags aren't full of a zillion pieces of stuffing. It's also easier to switch bags because you just pull out two bags or so instead of piece after piece of stuffing.

Did that make sense?

houstonangel, I was cracking up over the glass bookshelf idea. I could imagine what my hubby would think if I did something like that, but then again, he's seen me actually *hug* my bags so he probably wouldn't be shocked. But of course this was after an evening out with a couple glasses of wine....nice excuse huh?

Very very nice collections ..and VERY nice photos too... like saloon photos... are you professional?

I think she is! Klow - I LOVE your house. Is that the floor your bags are on? I'm sitting here trying to figure it out because I love the concept of the wood and then the stones.....(sorry, we are currently building a home so I am always searching for ideas, kinda obsessed with that)

I found a plastic organizer, specifically meant for handbags storage, in one of the online websites. Those are really ideal, and well, if I still have the website, I would probably pop over to get one of those plastics.

They're compartmentalised, and iirc, can be hung in closets.

Thankyou all for the nice complements.

Me too I stuff all my bags and put them back in their dust bags and store in the build-in wordrobe in my bedroom. I have two build-in robes and both top level are dedicated to my handbags

mammab I took the photos on my balcony/patio area from my main bedroom. The low wooden slats decking was built over the normal concrete slat instead of putting the tiles on that area. I love the concept of wood and stones together too. The two sides of the deck edging were filled with the white river stones up to the same level with the deck where I put all my pot-plants there.

I am a little confused. Are these bags authentic or are some of the bags being listed fakes/inspired by?

 

[klow-chloe']

^ What do you mean kylie?

All mine are real

 

[kylie80]

I was just wondering, are we listing everything or just the authentic bags. A lot of people will say an LV, when they really got it in Hong Kong after knocking on a back door somewhere with a secret password. No judgement here, but I prefer to know about real or fake. I want to make sure my envy is well placed

Gawd, do I sound like a lame *** snob?

lucky dog!!!
