Self Storage and the future of Walk-in Wardrobes.

We love the idea of seasonal wardrobes, but having them in different countries or states well thats sheer decadence of the most fabulous kind. (Not your old gear that still hangs in your childhood bedroom, & only makes a comeback during a home visit).
Well the news in from self storage centre Tankar Storage (Southern Highlands, Australia) is they have had enough requests from Australians living abroad and city folk with an ‘oh so chic’ country pad - for ‘a small space to hang their transit wardrobe’ that they thought it was time to act and follow the lead of one of their storage clients.Â
So here’s the scoop. A couple of years ago, a global nomad and long term storer, insisted on redorating his storage space (which incidentaly he has 3, - for excess cars, tired-of-at- the-moment furniture and more) into a luxury Walk-in Robe for his winter and rotating shirt collection. The amused vendors of this fine storage solution must have told a few of their clients and other best dressed, because over the past 7 months they have retro-fitted 5 of their smallest dust free cells into camphor infused closets. And who is asking for these lux wardobe extensions inclusive of full length mirror? Welcome to 2007 - they are preened straight up and down men!
Should we be using this information to predict the next big trend in fashionable living? Because I wouldn’t mind some of that space myself, for my shoes at least.
