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˜–

I'd rig up some kind of hanging solution. Hang them from the clasps in a row on like, the back of a closet door or something.

You can get hangers for the closet that hang down. Either with pockets or bars or maybe even hooks. Just have to hang the thing in the closet.

Wash your clothes?

A rod of some kind - like a shower rod - that you can hang them all over and easily peruse them.

Ooo, I wonder if something like a ring holder exists to use.

A big PVC pipe? So they are all in one location

I would have to find one that fits my neck, and also then figure out how to prevent them from sliding.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Couple of screws on either side for the sliding problem. Bedazzling to make it fun.

pipes come in many sizes! cardboard tubes as well

You could use rough sand paper on the pipe to make it grippy, or add antislip tape to it

Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

Oo, This is smart! They'd also fit into my plushie collection!

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?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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!

Get 101 dalmatians? You mean dog collars right?

Sadly Cruella de Vil is my landlord and has, some obsession with spots.

Sadly I max out emotionally at two girlfriends, three if I have the extra energy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you need something like a motorized tie rack.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I like that idea!
