Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a picture retaining apparatus is mounted upon an exposed, visible surface of a first clothing article container (e.g., a stylized shoebox), where the picture retaining apparatus is designed to affix a picture of the clothing article onto the exterior of the first clothing article container, thereby identifying its contents without having to open the container. Some embodiments further include one or more clothing article containers, where the additional containers are substantially same as the first container except their height, width, or length is a multiple of the corresponding height, width, or length of the first container, thereby enabling efficient stacking of the containers into a limited space.
