I’m a busy working mum and it’s always a pain having to transfer my stuff from one bag to another whenever I go to work / out with friends / go out with my kids or family. Does anyone have similar problems and have you developed any solution to this?

A purse organizer is a life saver. I have several of them in different sizes. Just grab it from one and stuff it in another purse and you are ready to go. I love being able to just reach blindly into any of my bags and know where everything is.
 
I typically don’t use purse organizers because all my bags are different sizes. I don’t have a one fits all solution.

So, I keep all my things on a small shelf : cubby just for that. In the evening I take everything out of my bag and place it in the cubby. Then, I put the bag away after checking it to see if it needs any maintenance like a quick cleaning or conditioning. Before I go to bed, I select my outfit and bag for the next day and repack the next day’s bag from those items.

It doesn’t keep me from repacking but I always know where my things are even if I take a smaller bag one day and a bigger bag the next.

Yes....agreed. I have never used one before I found this cute little thing at Home Goods. I have so many bags and purses and pouches that I hesitated when it came to buying this but I figured for $20 I could justify it. The thing that caught my attention was the color. Then I picked it up and felt how soft and pliable it was. Yet, it doesn't slouch in my bags. I love the drawstring top because I can take it in and out of my bags like a makeup bag. I have my little bits and odds and ends just thrown in it.

Here it is inside my Arayla Hepburn tote. Speaking of Arayla, I was just commenting somewhere that one of the things that I love about their bags is the consistency of their pocket placement. I can switch my things quickly from one bag to another and know where everything is when I reach in because they have the same pockets in all of their bags. The only thing that differs is whether there is a pocket on the front of the bag or not. LOVE that!

Nice!!! I had a slight problem with one of my Massacchesi bags and Marco gave me a credit which I spent on one of his suede organizers. It is the best I have ever had, but I have to admit I never would have spent that amount of money on an organizer.

This is impressive. I wish I was that organised!

It would be handy if someone attached straps to the bag organiser. That way you could have it in a larger bag (say if you went to work or to the gym) but then take it out and use it as a handbag. I guess it would have to look pretty nice though and wouldn’t be as cheap.
