The Purse Perfector^TM

In my ongoing quest to have a more organized purse, I tried out a new product (at least it is new to me) called the Purse Perfector. It qualifies as an Organizing STAR product!
The company was kind enough to send me a cute pink one to test drive.

You see, I have a favorite bag that was hand-made by an artist I adore the bag, but  have never successfully found a way to deal with the big black hole of space in the center. It’s my awesome messenger style bag.

When I received the Purse Perfector^TM I put it right into the bag and started organizing.

After putting it in, I thought it could definitely work, if I can keep my things upright.
But therein lies the problem. My purse doesn’t have a flat bottom so every time I set it down, my stuff kicks around inside. And the cute pink Purse Perfector^TM was pushed all around too. My wallet (orange off to the side) moved around all over the purse too and that didn’t really work for me.

Here is what I do like about the product:

• It is cute – which matters to me.
• It has properly sized compartments for the things most women carry.
• It zips apart so you can use just ½ of it in a smaller bag or the whole thing in a medium size bag.
• The material is sturdy and would hold up to hard use. (It looks washable too.)
• It is easy to get items in and out of the compartments. They’re big enough and they don’t have any weird elastic that requires two hands to get something in and out. (But because my bag was too big, I had to hold the organizer steady to put things in it.)

What I don’t like:

• If it is in an unstructured bag, like a beach bag or big tote, it can tip over. But it wasn’t designed for those so it’s not really the product’s fault.
• If you have a lot of stuff, and a big bag,  you might need two of them.
• The price is quite a bit higher than other similar products on the market and may miss getting new users because of the price point ($60).

Who I would recommend this for:

• People who want their purses or bags to be more organized and find things easily
• People who like to switch purses often and can use this to take everything out fast and put them into another purse.
• People with a minimum amount of stuff to carry
• People who use small and medium size bags, not large and extra large like me.

What I would like to see in the future:
A jumbo size version to go inside big tote bags and messenger bags!!
