Hi Marcia,

I use a bag organizer sewn by my brother (yes, my brother!) It really helps me to keep my bag neat. It has space specially sewn for pens, coins, my hp, palm pilot, a larger compartment for my purse, etc etc… Makes it a lot easier to look for stuff and changing bags is a snap - just lift it up, put it into the new bag and it's ready to go! Will post a pic if anyone is interested to see one.

Wow, cool that you bought your last bag from KL, M'sia. I'm in Malaysia but in the Borneo island part.

This is why I have downsized my purse size….to keep the clutter at a minimum. However, my 'appointment book' doesn't fit in it and now I keep leaving it behind…not a good thing when having to schedule clients!! I need to up my purse one more size! Thanks for stopping by and helping me out with my office dilemma!! I am now a Control Freak subscriber!

I'm just curious, how do you put everything into the new purse in the store without having store security get just a bit suspicious about what you are doing? I envision my being haulled off to some back room in my favorite discount department store.

I have a Jen Groover Butler Bag and I love it. I have always been a bag purse/lover hoarder whatever you wanna call it. But this is the 1st purse I have carried more than a month and everyday I love it more. It just keeps stuff in its place I guess that just makes life easier for me.

Hi Jane

I usually walk to the nearest sales person and tell them, “listen, I’m checking to see if all my things fit in this bag, okay?” and no-one’s ever said anything contrary J

Thanks for commenting, everybody and Danielle, it's a huge pleasure!

I have a few Pursekets — they come from small to very large, and fit in bags and totes to give you a bunch of smaller pockets. Very handy for knitting totes as well.

That's actually a very good idea in that, in the store, you unpack everything that you have and size it into the new handbag. I think many people just don't have the patience for a task like that and would just go with a visual estimate in making the decision (not always the wisest of decision.) Or, in my case, I'd just look for a handbag that was noticably BIGGER than my current handbag and I'd go with that…

Hi, I have the best purse, it took me along time to be satisfied with one. It is a coach ergo hobo and it holds everything.It is the perfect everyday bag,yes it was $135.00 but that was at an outlet, the reg. price is $268. My bag has an outside pocket in the front, a cell phone pocket, and another slip pocket.It has a zip pocket as well.Now I'am alot more organized, thanks coach!

When you opt for quality you not only get a great looking bag on the outside but usually a functional organized bag on the inside. It's a win win.

Hi - I have a Tintmar Very Intelligente Pocket. This is a handbag organiser and a liner all in one. When I want to change my handbag or de-clutter it, I just pull it out! Really easy and takes seconds! (and it would be easy to check your handbag size in a shop too!)

Hey all again…It's been awhile…I have just found my Hg bag…It is Coach..It is the Poppy Patent Spotlight. My 1st Patent leather bag and I love this bag..It is so easy to care for and functional! I bought it right after it came from the Full Price Coach store..So at the Outlet it cost $175.00…Not bad for a bag that will last.
