There are glamour plates associated with the dresser, and their location makes it simpler to keep track of what is in the dresser and assigned to a plate, as well as what is assigned to a plate and no longer in the dresser. You can put an item in the glamour dresser, create a plate for it, and then remove the item. The plate still exists.

The retainer bell, on the other hand, contains zero information about what's in your retainer inventory. That is associated with each individual retainer. Remove the retainer, and the associated inventory is lost, permanently. The retainer bell still brings up your current retainers.

Remove the glamour dresser (and associated plates) from your house and it exists, where?
As I said, I would hope that the Glamour Dresser, in terms of how it actually works on the back end, is just a terminal that by right-clicking on it accesses the glamour data for your character that is stored on SE's servers. It is not a real, physical dresser with stuff in it - it is just an object associated with some code that tells the game to pull data from SE's servers. It's the same as the armoire - if you remove that object, where does the stuff in it go? It doesn't "go" anywhere - you just can't access that data without it because you removed the terminal to interface with that data. Also, you can see (but not edit) the glamour plates anywhere in the real world through the character menu without the dresser.
