Hello, purse-lovers!
I have the reversible Ralph Lauren faux-leather tote in Black/Black Gingham, see pictures below, and I am looking for a matching purse organizer insert. Possibly in black, maybe from felt? Something with a horizontal zipper on top. The measurements of the bag are 11" H x 16" L x 5" D (ca. 28 x 40 x 13 cm). Any tips on where I could find a matching insert?
How much smaller than the actual handbag should the insert be? Anybody have experience with this topic? I am totally overwhelmed with this task. Ralph Lauren doesn't offer any organizers for their bags.
I was wondering if a triangular shape like a cosmetics bag (wide bottom, narrow zipper top) would be good, or better a cuboid shape for maximum space? Some of these inserts seem to come with handles and could be used as proper bags by themselves. What do you guys use?
Thank you so much.
Love,
Shopaholical

Better late than never - measure the inside of the bag and order an organizer accordingly. For totes, look up how your bag compares to LV Neverfulls. They are a staple tote in the organizer world, nearly all organizer makers make one for all sizes of NF.
I have several types of organizers; felt, cotton, nylon, and even a large Ikea toiletry bag with a zipper. The felt organizer is my favorite. You can buy one with a zipper top or make it a taller one with a laptop compartment etc. Smaller businesses usually customize the crap out of their items so my recommendation would be a felt organizer from a small business - then you can get everything you want from the zipper to bottle holders etc. My favorite is Enni's Collection (a female entrepreneur) https://enniscollection.com/
