The Purpose of Storage Bags
Zippered clothes storage bags are ideal for storing clothes such as sweaters, knitwear, and heirloom items, especially cashmere, wool, and cotton sweaters that are delicate. Household items such as table linens and bed linens are also good pieces to store in a zippered storage bag. Storage bags protect pieces from damage and keep them separate and organized from other belongings.
Types of Clothes Storage Bags
Storage bags for clothes come in all shapes and sizes. Extra large bags are best for larger items such as throws or bedding, while small bags are ideal for storing ponchos, pashminas, and accessories such as ties, scarves, or hats.
Best Material for Clothes Storage Bags
When it comes to storage bags, there are so many types to choose from. Many clothes storage bags are made of plastic, but this type of bag poses a risk to the clothes inside. Though plastic bags may protect clothing from dust and dirt, they do not allow pieces to breathe.
Using plastic bags for long-term clothing storage can cause clothes to get mold, discolorations, and yellow spots, weaken their fabric, or even be infested by moths.
Instead, opt for natural fibers such as organic cotton or muslin, as these are breathable, durable, and will protect your clothing from damage.
Organic Cotton Storage Bag
Though any clothes storage bag made of natural fibers is far better than a plastic bag, Hayden Hill storage bags are the ideal combination of protection, beauty, and functionality.

Storage Bag Care
It’s important to care for your storage bags properly, just as you would your clothing, so they will last for many years. To keep them in pristine condition, follow these steps:
- Remove the leather zipper pull and turn the bag inside out.
- Wash the bag on a cold wash cycle with like colors using a mild detergent.
- Shake the bag out after washing and air dry.
- To remove any wrinkles, iron the bag on low heat, avoiding contact with the organza side panel.
