I Just Discovered the Most Clever Way to Store Handbags Without Eating Up Space

Out of everything in my closet, I would say that purses are the biggest pain to store. For a while, I was hanging them on regular clothes hangers because that method seemed like it took up the least amount of space. But I quickly realized that doing so was not good for the purse straps. Now I keep my handbags on the shelf above my closet’s hanging rod. They take up way more space that way, but at least they’re safe from damage.

I was browsing online for a solution that could help me store my bags more efficiently (without ruining them) when I came across the Wiosi Purse Hangers on Amazon. Shoppers largely agree that this is the brilliant closet solution every handbag-lover needs in their life, and more than 900 of the purse hangers were bought in the previous month. In other words, these hangers might be just what I’ve been looking for.

The purse hangers come in sets of three and retail for $30, so they are $10 each. That’s a relatively high price for one hanger, but reviewers are unanimous in their assertion that the hangers’ sturdiness and impressive storage capacity are well worth it. Each one is made of thick acrylic and features the standard hook head, only it’s coupled with a narrow body instead of your standard wide-shouldered body. To be specific, the part you hang your purses on is just under 2 inches wide, so it’ll barely take up space inside your closet.

Since each hanger measures 1.5 inches deep, that’s how much space your purse straps have to rest on. It’s a generous amount when you consider that most straps don’t measure that wide. This means the straps won’t be crowded or smooshed on the hangers, so they won’t sustain wrinkles or tears as a result of hanging. What’s more, shoppers note that each hanger can comfortably hold up to three purses while maintaining that clean boutique closet appearance and keeping your bags in tip-top shape.

Average Rating: 4.8/5

“These hangers are pricier than most on Amazon, but you’ll understand why once you have them, especially if you’ve used cheaper ones. The difference in quality and durability is clear — they’re fancier, heavier, and wider. I recommend getting a box of cheaper hangers (which are still good quality) for smaller purses, but definitely invest in these for your high-end designer bags.” —Benita

“I love the way these display your purses so you actually know what you have! I had extra space in my closet, and these worked great.” —Nicole

“I have countless handbags and am not even ashamed. Although I’ve put hooks up all over the inside of my closet, there was no way to store them all until I found this clever invention. The handbag hangers are very sturdy and nice-looking and hold two to three bags each depending on how thick of a strap they have. I feel like I could now be featured on one of those home organizer shows on Netflix!” —Karen

Regardless of whether your purse collection is large or small, these hangers are a must-have. They’ll help streamline your closet and make your favorite bags more accessible — not to mention, they’ll keep each item in good condition for the long term. And if your bag assortment expands, you can always grab more!
