    Learn More About Clothing & Shoe Bags

    Clothing and shoe bags are great for protecting the integrity, fabric, and color of your clothes and shoes whether they’re sitting in storage, going with you on your travels, or being moved cross country or across the street.


    Sure, you could shove them all in garbage bags and put them in the basement or attic, but plastic bags can trap moisture, cause mildew to form, make fabrics decay and yellow, and are more vulnerable to household pests. Specialized clothes storage bags like garment bags are designed for breathability and protect suits and dresses from stain, soil, and wrinkles.


    Using a shoe storage bag keeps your favorite kicks protected from scuffs, scratches, marks, and tears on the leather or canvas when packed in a suitcase, and a shoe dust bag will keep your priceless sneaker collection pristine until they come back into rotation, or until you score a vacuum-sealed, UV-filtering display case.

    Within the world of bags and purses, there are many specialized cases designed for specific types of travel shoe bags or clothing bags to preserve nice clothes and shoes no matter what life, storage, or travel throws at it. Check out a few of these special types of clothing and shoe bags available from shops on Etsy:


    • Odor-filtering shoe bags are lined with materials like silver or activated charcoal to eliminate odors from shoes like your workout sneaks or most-broken-in runners. Some just keep the odor in while carrying so as to not offend anyone else’s nose.
    • Pack your baseball caps, fedoras, and sun hats in travel hat boxes to keep the bills bent just right and the canvas uncrushed when your suitcase goes through the rigors of an airplane underbelly.
    • The purpose of a sports shoe bag is twofold: It protects the outer material of your golf, football, or soccer cleats while they’re not in use, and keeps the mud and dirt built up through competition from getting on the rest of your clothes.
    • Luggage organizers separate clothing, shoes, hats, toiletries, and accessories into easy navigable compartments.
    • Whether you’re poolside at your friend’s apartment, or heading to the beach on your resort vacation, wet bagswill carry your surf trunks and bikinis to the changing room and back to the car without getting everything else soaking wet.
    • Lingerie and laundry bags are great for keeping small items and delicates separate in your luggage so they don’t get mixed up with your other items.
