If you have an open shelving system for your closet, you need these shoulder covers. 

They are the Container Store exclusives.

These shoulder covers protect various garments from dust while allowing them to breathe thanks to the shorter profile. They fit over the top of the hangers, protecting the shoulders where dust settles the most in an open closet.

These bags are made from cotton twill, which is safe for natural and synthetic fibers including fur and leather.

You can hang, store and protect all types of out-of-season items and garments with the shoulder bags. Think seasonal tablecloths or thicker sheets for winter months.

I bought a set as a test because I wasn’t sure if it was going to be as useful as it claims. After trying it out, I’m confident to say these covers are wonderful, and I’m ordering at least a dozen more.

Although it can technically hold up to 3 garments, I usually store 2 garments at a time because I don’t want to crowd it out too much.

The unbleached color goes great with my natural wood-colored hangers and my white closet.

I must say, though, these covers will probably be too small for wider garments, especially men’s clothing.
