I store mine in a bench we have at the foot of the bed. Originally, it was supposed to be for a spare blanket....oh well, I'm a bag lover so that took priority! :c)

Standing up like books on a middle shelf in the linen closet in the hallway. The linen closet is right next to the coat closet. I hang the larger tote bags on hooks inside the coat closet door. I use the lower shelves of the linen closet for shoes and boots. Hats and gloves go on the upper shelves in the same closet. We take off the outdoor shoes when we come inside. It's convenient to store everything - my coat, shoes, gloves and bag in the same area.

Mine are also standing up like books on the top shelf of my closet. Each bag is stuffed with tissue paper or bubble wrap to help maintain the shape and the really good ones are in dust bags.

I hang mine on hangers in my clothes closet. So when I'm choosing what to wear, my purses are right there handy :)

Multiple, clear, plastic storage bins in the walk in closet. As the room is vented, they would get dusty just sitting out. I line the bottom of the bins with cloth.

I picked up one of these at a garage sale, hung it in my closet (had just the wall space needed), and can hang two purses on each hook. I was surprised at how strong it is, they seemed very flimsy to me before. I remember people using these for hats, when I was a kid.

Not very neatly. Mine are mostly on the top shelf of my closet, along with some smaller travel bags.

I store my out-of-season bags in our cedar closet. Up until we redid the laundry room coat closet, I kept all my in-season bags on this shelf in our MBR closet. Now, just the less-used bags are kept here. I found this purse storage holder online a couple of years ago. This is an upper shelf at the back side of our closet. Next to it there on the right is my new, tall, mirrored-door cabinet for sweaters.

Since the reno, I keep my most-used bags in our newly redone laundry room coat closet:

Same as you, rgrs. Mine are tossed in a plastic laundry basket under my hanging clothes. I cleaned it out recently and found bags I forgot that I owned. Several went to the thrift shop.

Standing up like books on a middle shelf in closet. Dont have many, 2 black, 1 red, 1 brown. 1 straw, 1 purse/backpack for travel. I am lazy and never change purses, use the same until something breaks.

Some years back, I ran across a picture of purses hung from hooks in the closet ceiling. Of course, I can't find it now but the hooks were like these. I always thought it was a nifty idea that utilized often unused space and didn't take up what was for me valuable shelf space or wall space.

I saw recently on tv someone used (wire type) folder organizer to hold clutch type purses. Looked great.

I'm not into purses, so I will buy a $300-500 good quality real leather purse and use it every single day. After about 4 to 5 years it looks old and tired and it gets replaced with a new purse. I do have a small black clutch for formal events.

My lack of purse interest has always driven my mother crazy, since she grew up with the whole purse-must-coordinate-with-your-outfit thing!!

I just donated a ton and am down to four. They're stored on top of my closet shelf, stuffed and standing up and in a bag if they have one. I have a hanger on the back of the closet door that has one and another is hanging off the doorknob because I haven't put it back on the shelf.

Purses are one of my weaknesses. I have lots and lots and lots of them. So they are stored in many places. I have the purse storage straps that hook over a door I have 2 on the back of the bedroom door and on the back of my closet door each hold several Purses. I keep the ones I am using most at the moment there because they are easily accessible. (these straps are available at places like bed bath and beyond) The more expensive ones are in their bags and stored in an armoire that only stores Purses. I have bins of the less often used ones stored in closets in the guest room closet and hall closet. I got rid of a huge bin full before moving to this house. I gave them to a friend that was helping me prepare for the move. He had his sister sell them on eBay. I said good for you! I wish I could get rid of more but I apparently have a problem lol.

My garden club occasionally has a purse exchange, we all bring Purses we are willing to part with, put them in a pile. Draw numbers for order and when your number is called you can go pick a purse out of the pile. It's a fun time, sometimes we do the dirty Santa way so you can steal from someone who has already picked. I just have a hard time giving one away.

I have a hat rack in my bedroom where I hang purses and belts.

I store my stuffed with paper and inside their bags, but in baskets (black, navy, summer) to make them easier to pull off the shelf without making the entire row fall down. At least--that's my plan to do again when my master suite is finished.

In the house I sold, I put a few bags and shoes out for decorative accents in my walk-in closet. This is what it looked like staged for selling:

Another who stores them on an upper closet shelf, stacked like books. I like a nice purse, but I am not big on multiple bags, so I don't have a ton to store.

i store them on a shelf in my closet too--- i have several-- probably should donate a few since i really don't know if i'll use some anymore- i only change out my purse with a dressy outfit or sometimes the season-

i feel like i really should go thru my stuff and donate a lot after seeing dyhgarden's closet which is so neat with lots of room on her clothes rods(even if it was just for staging)!! i have such a hard time getting rid of clothes...

My purses and shoes (not all in view)

Similar to chispa, I have one purse and one clutch, and rarely use the clutch. After some years of use, I noticed a few days ago that the purse is starting to come apart on one seam. Hopefully I find a pleasing replacement without a lot of shopping. Then I'll be set until about 2020!

We have a home office off the kitchen and I hang them on a coat rack there. I don't choose on outfit but on how much stuff I am packing for the day so I like to have them near the door.

OMG, Aputernut, and I thought that I had a lot of purses (LOL)!

busybee - Thanks -- my staging was done after removing my late husband's belongings. That's one person's downsized wardrobe in that staged closet.

I learned a lot from staging my house for sale. I liked how it looked organized, so when I move into my master suite addition, I hope to use what I learned.

Dyhgarden; please post those pics for us when it's through. I love to see great organizing ideas.

DHY, you've been one busy girl this past year! Hugs!

I don't really have many, but I store them all in a clear plastic been in our closet.
