Handbags, it's your cute sin? However, if we like to change regularly and have the choice, we do not always treat them. You are given the unstoppable technique of Marie Kondo to store them properly, while taking care of them, waiting to use them again.

Step 1: we sort

Some are fans of shoes, others have a weakness for bags (or both). We buy too much, to the point of not knowing what to do. The worst thing is that we often tend to buy the same style (the one that suits us and we wear easily) and we end up with a collection of almost identical bags . The first thing to do: sort! Even if it's hard, we are separating from those who have been trailing in the closet for months or even years. We keep beautiful timeless basics and we take the opportunity to do a good action: we give the rest to good works (if they are in good condition and still usable of course!)

Step 2: we empty our bag

Whether you have planned to change your bag the next day or not, you empty it every night on your way home! We tend to stuff our bags, which makes them fragile: they therefore deserve a little break when they arrive at home. Not only will it remove all the dirt such as tissues, cash or bus tickets, but it will also avoid losing our most important things (like our favorite lipstick tube)! If one night you forget to empty your bag, we will not blame you, but remember that it is good for the health of the leather and the lining of the bag! The ideal to avoid scattering his business? Put them in a box that is stored near the bag.

Step 3: we put our bags in a bag

Having several handbags takes up space! And when you live in a small area or have little storage, each square meter is valuable. To avoid losing too much space, the bags are stored inside bags. They are sorted by category, for example leather bags together, bags made of fabrics, suede, or by occasion, bags to go to work, to go out etc. To avoid damaging the bags, we do not put more than two inside, and we let out the handles to avoid having to look at the last minute.
