If you’re reading this blog, then there’s a pretty good chance that you’re a fan of purses, handbags, wallets, or other leather goods. While we all love a good bag for accessorizing outfits, finding the best purse storage option isn’t always easy.
It’s easy to simply throw your bag on the counter or into the recesses of your closet and be done with it. But this isn’t always practical, especially if you have a sizable collection.
Thankfully, there are plenty of great handbag storage options out there to help you make the most of your space, protect your bags, and keep them all within arm’s reach next time you’re looking for a certain style. In this post, we’ll be sharing how to store your purses and the best bag organization options for your collection.
How to Store Purses
Whether you have the walk-in closet that dreams are made of or just a tiny one that can fit only the necessities, there’s a purse storage option out there for you. Here are some of our favorites.
Door Hooks
One of the most minimal ways to store your handbags is with door hooks. The hooks are usually attached to the back of a door and can hold a few bags each, depending on their size. The best part about these hooks is that they don’t necessarily have to go on your door either! If you have any spare wall space in your closet, this is a great way to make use of vertical space and can create a nice “showcase” area for your bags without taking up tons of room. You should especially look into this tip if you’re a fan of crossbody bags.
Hanging Purse Organizer
Another excellent handbag storage solution is a hanging purse organizer. These organizers hang on a railing just like your favorite top or dress and, like door hooks, make use of vertical space in an efficient way. These a perfect for tiny closets, as they can often hold several small to medium-sized purses at once.
Hanging Baskets
If you’re looking for a unique take on how to store purses and handbags, this next option is one that makes use of a common storage item in a unique way. While you’re probably familiar with over-the-door hanging baskets, have you ever considered them as a bag organizer? These baskets are especially perfect for small handbags and wallets that can be difficult to organize and easily lost.
Storage Bins
While storage bins require a bit more closet space than some of the previous options, there’s no doubt that they’re a smart way to store your bags. These bins will keep your bags neatly stacked together without flopping over and are ideal for storing bags that may be out of season or seldom used. You can go for cloth ones to match the look of your closet or even clear ones to make your stored bags easy to find.
Individual Hanging Hooks
So we’ve discussed mounted wall hooks and hanging bag organizers, but did you know that you can also find individual hanging hooks for your closet? These hooks are made of metal and easily hook onto your bag handles for easy storage in your closet. This is a great solution for larger tote bags that may not fit well into storage bins or elsewhere.
A Dedicate Purse Shelf
If you’re a fashionista with a walk-in closet, this storage solution is a no-brainer. Having a dedicated shelf area for your bags has become not only a perfect storage solution but an ingenious way to use your favorite accessories as décor items.
Creating a display area for your bags can instantly give your closet that elevated boutique look that will make getting dressed a whole lot more fun. This option is also perfect for ladies with luxury or high-end bags, as other options may squish and/or damage your bags’ exterior. If you need a bit more advice, fashion blogger Ann Le Do has a great post on how she created her purse shelf.
Install Overhead Shelves
If you still want to display your bags but find yourself lacking the proper space for an entire shelving unit, then overhead purse shelves are always an option. Overhead shelves make efficient use of space that otherwise might not have been used and can add a nice pop of color and personality to your closet with the help of some colorful handbags.
Additional Tips
So now that you have plenty of purse organization methods to choose from, what
are some other ways you can make the most of your bag storage? Here are some additional tips that you may want to consider.
Stuff your Bags
Many bags aren’t made to sit nicely on shelves and can be easily creased or damaged when squeezed into tight spaces. But one way to prevent this is by stuffing them with tissue paper or any other material. This will allow your bag to retain its shape and keep upright when stored on a shelf. You’ll definitely want to consider this tip if you plan on going with a purse shelf.
Store in Dust Bags
While almost all luxury handbags come packaged in a dust bag, many more affordable bags don’t. Thankfully, dust bags can be found at affordable prices and are a great way to protect your bags from dust, debris, or damage. They’re especially great for travel, as the last thing you want is your bag getting damaged in transit!
Get organized!
As you can see, there really is a handbag storage solution for everyone! No matter how large or small your closet is, there are plenty of ways to attractively store your bags and create an organized and streamlined bag collection.

Thanks, I have a large collection of high end bags and very little closet space.
Do you still offer the “Direction Hobo” crossbody bag? If not, please reconsider doing so. One of the nicest purses I have ever owned for organization! Would love to see it in brown, tan, olive , navy and red to name a few. Thank you!
