Not everyone who has a bag collection to die for, has a walk-in closet to go with it. So how do you stay organized if you don’t have the space or time to constantly manage your prized possessions? These little smarts can get you all fixed up in no time at all.Sort Your Bags
Getting your wardrobe organized is not all that different to a filing system at work. The trick is to figure out a way to sort the bags into groups that make sense to you. Now this could be a color coded system or separating them based on what you use them for, or by material. The options are endless. Just figure out what would be most convenient for you. And then take that system for a test run. Mentally work your way through a typical week and see if the system would help you get in and out fast enough. Put the ones you use every day out front where you can reach them easily. Reorganize them every season.
Clean Up
Before you put your bags away, use the opportunity to clean them all up nicely. Some may not be regularly used, so now that you have them all out of their boxes or cases or suitcases, give them a good wipe. Use special cleaning material or softeners if you’re dealing with leather. Well organized but dusty bags are hardly attractive.
Your bags are a precious part of your wardrobe so handle them with care. If you have saved the cloth bags they came in, smooth those down, make sure they are clean and tuck the handbags neatly in. Ensure all your bags are stuffed with some soft old clothes or paper to help them keep their shape. If you have bags with embellishments like sequins that may catch on other bags, ensure they are wrapped in tissue or soft cloth bags to prevent catching. Keep your light colors in dust proof covers to avoid spoiling. You may even need to get some storage bins to keep them separated by category.
A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place
There’s a reason we all love looking at those gorgeous magazine spreads of walk-in closets and row upon row of beautifully color matched bags and shoes. It is because the stuff is so neatly organized. Sort out your bags and then stick with the program. No matter how tired you are, put the bag back in its place. Or else you will be right back where you started!
