All women love bags and shoes. Etiquette rules say that each pair of shoes needs its own handbag. And sometimes the question arises: how and where is it better to store these things.
One of the popular solutions to this issue is an organizer. This is a very spacious and at the same time compact storage system. We will tell you how to make a closet organizer with your own hands.
Types of organizers
Organizers are an ideal option for storing bags. Due to their compactness, they do not take up much space. However, they will help protect things from dust and possible mechanical damage.
