What You Should Buy for Your Wardrobe Detox (and Why)
A wardrobe detox isn’t only about editing what you own — it’s about creating the systems and tools that make your space feel functional, organised, and inspiring every day. With the right essentials, your wardrobe will look and feel like a luxury boutique, making it easier to shop your own collection.
Here are my must-have items for any successful wardrobe detox (with links to my tried-and-tested favourites).
1. Vacuum Packs for Seasonal Storage
Bulky coats, knits, or bedding? Vacuum packs are your best friend. They save space, protect against dust and moths, and keep everything fresh until next season.
2. Sunglasses Storage
A display box or drawer insert keeps sunglasses scratch-free and easy to find. If you’ve invested in designer eyewear, treat them like the treasures they are.
3. Jewellery Storage
Velvet-lined trays or stackable boxes protect delicate pieces from tangling or tarnishing. A clear system means you’ll actually wear and enjoy what you own.
4. Under-Bed Storage Bags
Maximise hidden space with breathable fabric storage bags. Ideal for off-season items or occasion pieces you don’t need every day.
5. Drawer Dividers
Neat compartments for underwear, accessories, and basics transform chaotic drawers into boutique-style displays.
6. The Right Hangers
Your wardrobe foundation.

7. A Labelling Dymo
Labelling shelves, boxes, or garment bags ensures everything has its place. It keeps your system intact and saves time searching.
8. Boot Inserts for Display
Keep tall boots standing proudly with inserts — no more sagging leather or misshapen suede. They also look sleek on display.
9. Handbag Inserts to Keep Shape
Luxury handbags deserve proper care. Inserts protect their structure, keep interiors organised, and make them display-ready on your shelves. These handbag shakers in particular are made specifically for your Hermès Birkins/ Kelly’s/ Chanel flap bags.
10. A Weekly Outfit Rail
If you love to plan ahead (or simply want to save time), a small rail for your week’s outfits is a game-changer. It creates a styling station in your own home.
11. A Shoe Rack
Whether it’s a simple tiered stand or a custom built-in, a shoe rack keeps footwear visible, protected, and easy to grab. It also makes your wardrobe look instantly more polished.
12. A Belt Storage Box
Belts are often overlooked, ending up curled in drawers or hanging awkwardly on hooks. A structured belt box keeps them flat, visible, and ready to wear. It also protects delicate leathers and hardware from scratches.
These aren’t just organisational tools — they’re investments in maintaining your wardrobe and making daily dressing effortless.
For those short on space, our Luxe Locker Membership is the ultimate add-on. Think of it as your wardrobe’s personal concierge: we carefully store your seasonal pieces and return them ready for the next season.
