{Organising} How to organise and store your handbags

Category: Organising • Wardrobe

I don’t have very many handbags, but hubby has spoilt me over the past few Christmas’s with some beautiful bags as gifts.  To keep them in great conditions I want to store them with care and have them easily accecciable.  This is how I store them:

Initially I tried some hooks from Bunnings, however they didn’t fit over the rod very well.  Instead, I found these ’S’ hooks at the local dollar shop, 3 for $2…bargin!  My handbags sit on the rail above my jewelerry area.

Did you complete part 1 of the decluttering clothes challenge?  See all my spare coat hangers, i’ve decluttered, part 2 coming soon:)

    OMGosh what a great idea to use those hooks!! I will be keeping an eye out for some next time I am out and about.
    I don’t have many handbags, an everyday one, and small going out one and maybe two others, currently all but the everyday one are hanging on the back of my bedroom door handle.
    My sister is the Imelda Marcos of handbags though so I will definitely have to tell her about your hooks!

    I was looking for those S hooks for a different project. Didn’t think to look in the dollar shop! Great idea for storing bags. But I don’t have enough wardrobe space to do that. Any other ideas?

      What about creating something on the back of a door?

    What a fab idea! I’ve got lots of S hooks that I bought previously for something else. Now I can put them to good use! :)

      They are handy hooks. What else did you use them for?

    This is an awesome idea and I think I need to get rid of some clothes so I can fit my handbags in. You are so clever my friend. N x

    What a clever idea, don’t you love $2 shop bargains!

    For those who are limited in cupboard space and can’t manage this (like myself) I have another solution – I’ve always kept my handbags on a HAT STAND. You know those old-fashioned hat stands with arms out in every direction? You can still buy them at Copperart or you can pick them up for a bargain at Op Shops.

    My hat rack stands in the corner of the bedroom just behind my oval mirror and serves as a beautiful display for all my handbags (too….too many… need to cull before it falls down!)

    Great idea! I am super excited about the big walk in wardrobe I will have in a few weeks when we move into our new house, and want to get off to an organised start. My handbags are all over the shop right now. Now off to find me some of those hooks.

    fantastic idea!!! only problem for me is that i have limited cupboard space as is and thus no more room :( Have you got an idea for jewellery storage and hanging? Always up for sharing my tips :)
