Can’t seem to find your fave bag when you need it? Get a handle on the best ways to store your bags with these creative purse organization ideas. So you can always find what you need, when you need it.
Let’s get real. A girl’s gotta have her bags.
Okay, more like a bazillion of them. After all we need (atleast) one for parties, one for day brunches, one for the beach, one for when we’re feeling blue….you get the drift.
There can never be enough of bags. Problem is, we generally have a limited amount of storage.
Especially, closet space.
For years, I had been dumping my bags on the top shelf of my closet.
It worked on paper. But since I had a deep shelf some bags would lie forgotten at the back, and not everything was visible or easily accessible.
That’s when I went on the hunt for better purse organization methods.
I eventually ended up using two closet shelves to arrange all my bags in a single row – making everything visible at a glance – all I had to do was grab the one that went nest with my outfit for the day.
In my research however, I came across many other rather creative ideas of storing bags – so I thought I’d share them here with you today. So you can decide which purse organisation method works best for your space and type of bags.
