To many, handbags are not simply accessories, but they are rather an integral part of every woman’s life and reflect character and fashion essence. As your collection increases however, the headache of how to manage your handbags gets more real. The trick is to create a system that accommodates easy accessibility without compromising on elegance and orderliness.
Regardless, whether you have a few bags or have a wide range of handbag types, this guide will assist you in arranging your handbags the modern way, which is efficient to your lifestyle.
- Examine Your Collection
Before initiating with the organizational strategies, take time to figure out how many handbags you actually have. It's the first step about understanding what you have; what is redundant; and the styles that no longer appeal.
First things first, organize your handbags according to the categories: totes, clutches, cross bodies, satchels, duffel bags, and so on.
Examine Level of Use: Consider the frequency of usage of each bag in question. Are there those black bags that has always been housed within other bags but has never been used? Or are there those special bags that have got a place, but only on particular days of occasions?
Quality Over Quantity: Stick to keeping timeless, multifunctional, and durable bags like our Angelica Black Leather Bag. These hold the test of time and complement most outfits rather than the fads that characterize fast fashion.
- Have a Dedicated Storage Area
Your handbags require a designated storage area that is both accessible and well-organized. Select a location that can comfortably house your collection, ensuring that none of the bags are forced or squished together. Below are some ideas for effective storage solutions:
-
If your closet is large enough, then you can add shelves or hooks to specifically dedicate a section to your purses. This would help protect it from dust and too much sunlight but also keep it accessible while you are deciding what to wear.
-
Wall-mounted shelves offer an elegant solution for those lacking a spacious closet, allowing for the display of your bags in style. This setup not only provides a clear view of all your options at a glance but also enhances the decor of your room.
-
If you just want something hidden away, then it is possible to store smaller bags inside larger ones and place them in drawers. This keeps clutter at a minimum and keeps your collection tidy.
-
Hang heavy bags with grip handles from wall hooks. This is a good approach for the bags you often use so that you can easily pick them up while rushing out. Our Cloud Sunbrella Tote is one such example of a go-to bag that fits the bill just right!
Maximize space in smaller areas with over-the-door hooks, which offer extra room for your bags and make great use of often-overlooked spaces.
-
For bags with long straps, consider using S-hooks or specialty purse hangers to keep them organized on your closet rod. This allows for easy access while maintaining an orderly appearance.
- Categorize by the Frequency of Use
Once you’ve determined your storage space, categorize your handbags based on how often you use them. This will further streamline your organization process and ensure that your most-used bags are always within reach.
-
Daily Bags: Store your everyday work bag or favorite crossbody in the most convenient spot, making it easy to grab as you head out. Keeping these bags accessible will save you time during busy mornings.
-
Special Occasion Bags: Reserve space at the back of your closet or on a less-frequented shelf for evening bags and clutches.
-
Seasonal Bags: Certain bags are best suited for specific seasons, like woven totes for summer or leather satchels for fall. Our Sienna Blossom Carver Satchel Bag is the perfect fall baby for you! Position these seasonal bags at the front of your collection during their respective times of use for easy access.
- Make Sure That Storage Is Crystal Clear
To keep your bags visible but protected from sunlight and dust, consider using clear storage options:
-
Clear Bins or Boxes: To keep handbags dust-free, store them in large plastic bins or boxes.
-
Acrylic Dividers: If you prefer using drawers or shelves, acrylic dividers can help keep bags standing upright and organized. This works particularly well for smaller items like wallets and clutches, preventing them from toppling over.
-
Hanging Organizers: Maximize vertical space with hanging organizers that feature transparent pockets. These organizers can be hung from your closet rod and neatly accommodate multiple bags, providing both visibility and protection.
- Organization based on Color and Trend
Separate handbags in color and style – besides making it easier to find certain items, this also makes your storage space visually appealing. Some tips on the right organization:
-
Color Placement: Organize your bags based on color, coordinated from light to dark, or any other configuration best suited to your style. This creates a beautiful visual display that is easy to navigate.
-
Size and Shape: Group the various colored bags by size or shape. Ensure that the larger bags are positioned at the bottom and the smaller ones on top, maintaining proportionate arrangement as well as keeping all bags in reach.
-
Thematic Grouping: categorize your bags depending on the purpose or style. For example, mark one area as your work bags, another as casual to take out on weekends, and subsequently formal evening bags. It not only simplifies the search for what you want to attain but also gives elegance to your collection.
- Dust Covers Should Be Used for Protection Purposes
While it may be tempting to display your collection, dust, moisture, and sunlight can damage items such as leather or canvas. An investment in dust covers protects your handbags.
-
Original Dust Bags: At Fabrica Kraft, every bag comes with a dust bag made from 100% cotton. This thoughtful improvement protects the bags from sunlight, dust, scratches, and stains while allowing the material to breathe, ensuring that they last a lifetime. So be sure to use these protection bags whenever you are not using your bags.
-
Custom Covers: If you do not have original dust bags, get breathable covers to be used in protecting your bags. These would cover your items against dust while allowing air circulation for mildew.
-
Labeling: For opaque dust covers, add identification tags or labels to easily find what you need without rummaging through each cover.
