Ugh - I got lazy and got some purse organizer thing at Bed Bath and Beyond. It's not that great and a little too small and it doesn't have a bottom.

I think I'll do what I should have done in the first place and get the PTG.

I used mine for about a month and have noticed it no longer stands up as nicely. I've quit using it, to be honest. It became more hassle then it was worth.

Yes mine is getting very slouchy and it starts rolling over in my purse. It is not as useful as it was in the beginning.

OK, I'm picturing your purse contents doing somersaults like a baby in utero....

Did anyone notice they now have an EXTRA Jumbo available for larger hobos, totes, schoolbags, etc? The regular jumbo fits both of my gucci totes (full moon and abbey) but the extra jumbo would work better for my abbey. I'm using it today and noticed that the jumbo isn't large enough for that bag. Anyways, thought I would mention it since it's new. She's also advertising that it's reversible now but you lovely ladies have known that it worked better that way all along.

^Haven't had issues w/slouching and have been using them for over a month now.

I thought the jumbo would be good for organizing some of my hair products which seem to multiply sitting on the bathroom sink. I got it and it is way to tall for most of my handbags.

Do they REALLY?

That's awesome because most of my bags are oversized (the Tanos) and the jumbo fits but then again doesn't completely fit them. Thanks for posting this, I would have never noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it!

There is a good photo here which shows the size difference between the Purse To Go small, large, jumbo and extra jumbo... as related to each other and to a typical soda can. Helped me pick the right size for my Coach bag by seeing the photo and looking at measurements below, hopefully will help others, too:

How heavy is the ptg? does it add weight to your bag?

Rivercat · Oct 29th, 2008, 02:06 PM

Thanks for everyone's great comments here. I ordered the set of 3 in tan and they've changed my life!

4everglammm · Oct 29th, 2008, 02:19 PM

How does it stay in your bag without folding over?

We may have to look into these as my wife doesnt change her bag that often because she totally hates reorganizing into another bag. She says she would like to change more often. This drives me nuts because she has so many nice bags and goes several months before changing.

Do these organizers really work well?

CrazyLV · Oct 30th, 2008, 09:26 PM

isn't this similar to Tintamar line?

I have one Large Tintamar can use any all bags for easy finding and quickly grap and neat interior instead mess inside

those who have the Purse to go, how heavy is it? does it make your bag any heavier? i hate to carry heavy bags.

Mia Bella · Nov 10th, 2008, 07:03 PM

I just bought an LV Damier NF PM and while I love the bag in almost every way I am wishing it had at least one more sleeve pocket for my phone. I just bought the Large PTG in Red (to match that luscious lining!

) and I'll post pics when it arrives. I measured the inside of my NF and I'm hoping it will be a perfect match in size.

^^ It's VERY lightweight!

For anyone curious about the size for a Balenciaga City, the Jumbo fits perfect!! I bought the trio and the Jumbo seems to work best for me. It also fits my LV Neverfull MM when the sides are cinched.

HTH!

NoSnowHere · Nov 19th, 2008, 08:25 PM

I just received a Chameleon large structured. I wish it was a little larger. I placed it in my Neverfull GM, but on the upside, I've eliminated the use of a makeup bag and a wallet.
