Are you a proud owner of an ever-growing handbag collection? If so, then you know how quickly they take up space. To get the most out of your prized possessions, here are five essential tips to help you store them safely and properly at home.
1. Clean Your Handbags Before Storing Them
Before storing your bags in a closet or drawer, ensure they are freshly cleaned. Dirt and residue can accumulate over time, making your bag look dull and causing discolouration and damage to the material. So before storage, give it a good brush with a damp cloth or use professional leather cleaning products on leather bags if necessary.
2. Invest in Protective Bags
When storing handbags at home, you must invest in protective covering such as dust covers or cloth bags specifically designed for storing purses and bags. These accessories protect your bags from dust build-up and other wear & tear damages while in storage. They come in various sizes, so make sure you choose the most suitable for your handbags.
3. Place Them on Shelves Out of Reach of Pets
Most pets love to explore new objects in their vicinity, including our beloved handbags! To reduce any chance of an accidental encounter with sharp claws or teeth, place your bags on higher shelves away from little paws (and noses)! Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t use pet-friendly items – keep them out of reach!
4. Hang It Up!
If having too many missing pieces inside your bag when taking it out isn’t your favourite thing to deal with – consider investing in hanging purse organizers! These organizers save valuable space by storing multiple items and allow easy access to all compartments without having to take each item out separately- making looking for those lost earrings much easier!
5. Finally, Rotation Is Key!
To ensure that all of our lovely purses receive an equal amount of love during their lifetime, try using a 360° rotation system when deciding what bag to use next time! Take inventory every six months and rotate different styles just like clothes – this way, nothing looks neglected or forgotten about. You’ll have more fun accessorizing with everything in sight!
