    Show your strap storage

    This is my strap-drawer. I bought quite a few in 2018 and it’s now overflowing.

    Looking forward to seeing your weird and wonderful solutions...

    I’ve been wanting a good solution for a while but also to store bracelets so an individual drawer thing would be best for me I think but can’t find one

    MUJI, the acrylic 4-drawer unit doesn't appear to be available at the moment but there are a few alternatives.

    http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=9&Sub=39


    The bracelet boxes are pill boxes with the short dividers removed (the long central one is fixed). There's a similar sized box available without any dividers.

    Brilliant thank you. Now I have a project to build a cabinet to hold the pill boxes lol.

    I thought mine was pretty organised until I saw some of these.
    I keep mine in a fudge tin in the man draw.

    Judging by what I see in this thread I don't think my storage will remain adequate for long:

    Better start looking for a better solution

    I like the Muji solution bit shipping to the Netherlands is £29.95...

    Found and ordered this one, will post when it arrives which will likely take a few weeks.

    I ordered this wooden toolbox some time ago from eBay, can't find them listed now, which is a shame as it is perfect with strap and other storage in the top and bottom two draws for watches

    Exactly how I felt when I stumbled across it! It’s an awesome bit of kit for the money. I was going to make something, but at £90 it just didn’t make sense not to buy it.

    At one point, Luftwaffe were handing these out in business class.



    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    No it was same price as Ebay but I had some Xmas amazon vouchers to spend so it made sense
