Your handbags contain your most essential items, come along with you everywhere you go, and faithfully protect your belongings. But how are you taking care of them? When your favorite clutches and satchels are off duty, it’s essential to have a storage plan for your most beloved bags. There are a variety of ways to store purses, and the best solutions tend to vary by type of bag, as well as how much storage space you have. But whatever your scenario, there’s definitely a better option than shoving your latest purchase into a corner to collect dust. Read on for a few of our favorite tips on how to store purses safely and stylishly.

One of the most universal approaches to storing purses is the use of boxes or bins. When done poorly, this method can be chaotic, but when done right, it can keep handbags beautifully organized and in top condition. If you decide to go this route, there are a few key tips to keep in mind.

First, make sure to choose the right size of boxes or bins. Measure your closet and your largest handbag, and take the area you intend to store them into account.

Next, make sure you’ve allotted enough storage space so that the items don’t get squished or misshapen. For vintage, delicate, and high-end luxury handbags that you don’t use often, consider bins or boxes that completely seal and offer the best protection.
