I have a hundred chokers for my fashion, and I cycle them every single day.

Currently, They are all stored in their original plastic sleeves.

This means my routine is as follows.

  • Pick up pile of sleeves
  • Select a choker by shuffling through the sleeves like they are cards.
  • unpack choker
  • place choker on for the day
  • remove choker
  • put choker back in sleeve
  • place sleeve back in pile

I find the task of sleeve management to be frustrating. And would rather have them all organized in such a way so that I may be able to view them, and choose them out as warranted.

What do you say is the best way to store them? (Product, Idea to make, anything)

Edit 1: A limitations I have is that I cannot install anything permanently to the apartment. ๐Ÿ˜–

You could hammer 100 little tack/nails into a board and hang them vertically. They'd be a lot longer vertically then they are wide, so you could do like 25 across x 4 down. You could maybe even still keep the plastic sleeves on them.

Or find a big donut shaped pillow, with the same diameter as a neck, and put all them on it?

The handy-person answer.

Assuming that my chokers are maybe 30 cm long with the chain, 2 cm spacing per choker, 25 chokers per row, 2 cm gap between choker vertical space.

Dimensions would be 126 cm tall and 50 cm wide.

Manageable, would need to find a place for it.


Plushies are being considered!

I'd suggest the back of a closet door or similar!

This is essentially my idea as well. Hang em by the clasps. Even without permanently affixing something, a few quick-assembled rods with hooks, held in place with a suitable amount of command strips or similar no-damage hanger.

Pro tip: donโ€™t hang stuff by the clasp. The weight can stretch them out if they are made of junk metal (most are).

Instead, hang them by the ring/chain the clasp clasps onto. You can use upside down earring hooks to string them up if you have a pack of spare, otherwise small head finish nails can usually accommodate the chains.

Oh nice! I don't wear any necklaces or similar jewelry, but I'll keep that in mind.
