Clean up – This is the first step before you put all your purses to your purse organizers. Dig into the contents of your bags and purses. Remove anything that can be considered garbage, like aged-tissue papers, unnecessary receipts. Remove candies and other biodegradable items that can decay over storage time. Put hidden accessories back to your accessory trays. And who knows, you might find the long lost pair of your earrings, or that ring you intended to return…to someone.
Get Color! – To prevent hassle in finding a suitable purse that would compliment your outfit, organize your purses by color. If you are the person who likes matching outfits with accessories, then arranging your purses by their dominant color or fabric types will make your morning and evenings easier. Arrange by the color of the season. Put the purses that you think you’ll be often using this season at easy to reach spaces, then arrange them by color. If it’s not your season fave then put it on the top shelf where it won’t become clutter.
Arrange by function or size – Have one shelf or purse organizer rack that’s dedicated for all work-purses, then another one for night-outs or parties, and if there is a need, another one for outdoors (fabric totes, native bags for the beach, etc.). Then arrange them by size or color for easy grabs.
Maintenance – One thing you can do so your purses won’t lose their shape and structure over storage time, is to stuff them with bubble wraps or crumpled ‘scratch paper. This is very useful in preserving the shape of purses that are free-form, made of fabric or soft leather without structure frames.
With your purse collection now looking like a boutique display, you have done a good job organizing. But it doesn’t stop there, be diligent enough to put everything you use back into their places in your closet purse organizer to avoid future clutter problems.
