After much delay – not all of which was the fault of the manufacturer – I finally received the purse organizer I had previously mentioned, at the end of April.

invite.L Original Bag-in-Bag, Size Medium

I thought it would be a good way to organize my bottomless-pit-of-a-purse. Wrong! This is how the organizer should look and work:

And here is what the inside of my purse actually looks like:

Once I remove an item from the organizer to use it, I just drop that item back into the bag; I don’t take the time to put it back into the organizer pouch. So the organizer is just smushed at the bottom of my bag under all of the purse’s contents and ends up being just one more thing in the way of me finding what I’m looking for.  I don’t switch bags often enough to put up with the hassle of using a bag-within-a-bag. It’s such a great idea that simply did not work for me. Bummer.
