Size does matter.

No matter how big the apartment in question, everyone is always whining about storage space. So when we got this tip the other night over cocktails with a particularly fabulous creative director, we flipped.

The As Seen on TV Space Bag.

The do-it-yourself vacuum-sealable pouch is designed to store those off-season sweaters, clothes you’ve been meaning to donate to charity, winter bedding, or whatever might be hogging up space (mini-sized!). Attach your vacuum cleaner, and voila! insta-cyro-sealed package. The bags shrink items up to 75 percent, keeping your pretty things dust-free, and fresh as a daisy.

Minimized size, maximized space. And we like space.

Don’t get carried away. These bags are not suitable for storing annoying pets or badly behaved boyfriends.
