High-end fashion accessories, such as scarves, ties, and bow ties, add a touch of elegance to any outfit. But how to store them to preserve their beauty, find them easily, and extend their lifespan? Whether you are a lover of fine materials or a fan of sophisticated looks, this guide reveals all the tips to carefully organize your fashion accessories.
Why properly store your fashion accessories?
Proper storage is not just about order or aesthetics. It plays a key role in preserving your precious pieces:
- Preserve quality: avoid creases, friction, and dust.
- Make choosing easier: see your options at a glance to put together your outfits.
- Save time: no more lost or forgotten accessories at the bottom of a drawer.
- Showcase your purchases: a beautiful accessory deserves a prime spot in your wardrobe.
Basic principles for storing fashion accessories
Before detailing solutions by accessory type, keep these principles in mind:
- Organize by type (scarves, ties, bow ties, pocket squares...)
- Sort by color or pattern for a pleasant visual effect and quick selection.
- Favor ventilation: avoid piling up, let natural fibers breathe.
- Protect from direct light and moisture.
How to store your scarves?
Scarves, whether silk, wool, or cotton, deserve special attention. Here are some proven methods:
1. Scarf hangers
Opt for a hanger with multiple loops, ideal for hanging several scarves without wrinkling them. Hang it in your wardrobe, away from light.
2. Compartment boxes
Gently fold your scarves and store them flat in a compartment box. Prefer fabric or thick cardboard boxes to avoid crushing.
3. Organized drawers
Use drawer dividers to create individual compartments. Roll scarves to avoid sharp creases and enjoy an immediate overview.

How to store your ties?
Ties, often made from delicate materials (silk, wool, cotton), require careful storage:
1. Wall-mounted or hanging tie rack
A tie rack allows you to hang each tie individually. Some rotating models make daily selection easier. This prevents creases and keeps the tie impeccable.
2. Tie boxes
Ideal for precious or rarely worn ties. Roll each tie and place it in an individual compartment to avoid deformation.
3. Drawers with dividers
As with scarves, it is possible to roll or fold ties and organize them in compartments. Be careful not to squeeze them too tightly.

How to store your bow ties?
Bow ties, whether pre-tied or self-tie, are often more fragile than you think:
1. Individual boxes
Store each bow tie in its original box or in a compartmentalized jewelry box. This preserves their shape and keeps dust away.
2. Bow tie holders
Some tie racks also offer hooks for bow ties. Hang them by the strap to avoid any deformation.
3. Compartment drawers
Ideal for collectors: each bow tie has its own compartment, laid flat, protected from crushing.
