With the onset of cold weather, each of us takes out winter clothes from the closet. But a couple of months will pass, as warm clothes will have to be put into storage again.

Yulia Tychino , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti and designer, who sometimes has to work side by side with the organizers of the space, told us how to ergonomically place down jackets, fur coats and voluminous coats in a closet.

So, to ensure that storage does not cause any harm to the products, use the following tips.

1. If we are talking about products made from natural fur, such as sheepskin coats, fur coats, vests, etc., the idea of using vacuum bags should be immediately discarded.

Instead, use covers made from breathable non-woven material. Make sure the covers are 10-15 cm longer than the garments and at least 6 cm wide.

2. Let's talk about common down jackets - both jackets and coats. Here vacuum bags will come in handy.

The main thing is to store clean items after drying them thoroughly and turning them inside out.

3. But with leather goods this method again "will not work". Instead, find suitable hangers for coats and jackets, made of wood or metal.
