How do you organize your handbag?

I use pouches. Some bags have matching leather makeup cases--most have matching wallets.
Mulberry double zip bayswater, with accessories:

Hose down linings with collonil waterstop spray.
And often spread scarf over base of interior--adds fun color, catches debris & useful to wear.

Never use a key case.
And never put bottled water/liquids inside handbags.

Have transported injured bat inside mulberry bayswater. Another time, plumbing parts.

Basically, I use these bags. But try to do so without unecessary, "where is it?!" stress, or fiddly rummaging in queues & carparks.

i hope the bat recovered!

I only use small handbags and I only have place in them for phone, keys, cardholder, chewing gum, tissues and lipstick/gloss of the day and blisted pads (just in case). I also carry a small notebook and a very carefully selected pen as I'm horrified the pen may leave stain/mark. I don't carry make up with me. I never touch up. I figured "If I spend so much on the stuff it better hold up until get home!" so I spend a bit of extra time and effort in the morning so I make sure I only need lipstick/lip gloss during the day. I never carry water bottles in the bag. My life is so much easier since I stopped buying bags big enough to carry stuff for other people... "Can we put this in your bag...? " No. We can't.
remainsilly, good job saving that bat! My leather jacket still carries traces of saving my stray cat from the cold. I still wear it
