| | | Containers for storing clothes
Hello there
Just wondered if someone could tell me where I can buy plastic containers to store clothes that are taking up room in our closet? I am used to the big plastic tuperware kind that you can get in America, but any suggestions would be great. I have no idea what I need to consider in hot, humid weather.
Tks! | |

[Aside to KIA: Oi! Why when I write IKEA as the first word of a reply is it being changed by the site to Ikea?]

| | | Pricerite has some very good plastic boxes as well, as does Japan Home.
I haven't used them but Pricerite also has those vacuum sucked bags where you suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner nozzle so clothes and things take less space and are less prone to humidity. I know a couple of people who use them. | |

| | | We purchased the containers from Japan Home Center. They fit under our bed and have wheels, which is a nice feature.
Also have one of those vacuum pack bags and it is larger than we expected. Both work well. | |

| | | Vaccuum Bags (aka VacBags)
JUSCO has these vaccuum bags - which are great for storing winter clothes. An acquitance recommened this to me for storing clothes for the season - as a save space alternative to the plastic tupperware containers. You buy this special bag suck out all the free air space to make it air tight and store it. Literally, I have 3 times more space than before!
The same person also recommended it for when packing suitcases for a trip as the bag is reuseable. I have more space in my suitcase when going for lengthy trips overseas although some hotels are not so willing to let you use their vaccuums I found out.
As all who live in HK know space is a commodity. | |

They don't work as well as the vacuum bags, but then you don't need a vacuum. | |
