Review on Top-Notch Handbag Organizer: Preserving Style and Guaranteed Tidiness by Anthony Cano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dear LG, go back to Medium

I bought the big black insert and I love it so much I'm ordering the medium again. The larger size is fantastic if you are carrying a large bag or laptop bag. It would also be great to organize a backpack or large bag for suburban trips. It stands on its own but is quite flexible. It compresses to fit surprisingly well in my everyday work bag, but it's a bit cramped in my more modest packs, especially those with a zippered compartment separating the central cavity (see ). Considering the average size of my bags I think a medium would be the best choice for me as I plan on moving the liner from purse to purse very often and a little wiggle room between the bag and organizer would make this easier. However, I remain tall. I could use it to store things in the car or maybe in my big bags for sightseeing. They could always use more structure and organization! I've had several wallet organizers in the past and this is by far the most important thing I've tried. It is very well constructed, with strong stitching and beautifully finished edges. The "fabric" is similar to the fabric that many diaper bags and some windbreakers are made of, and wipes clean easily if necessary. I turned my organizer inside out (I prefer wider pockets enclosing a larger open space with flat zippered compartments on the sides of my purse) and I loved that it fits so much better. I put my wallet and bag with my health and beauty products in the middle. My phone slides easily in and out of my own pocket. The water bottle fits securely in another. Since the pockets are large and seem to protect my glasses fairly well, I'm comfortable leaving my sunglasses and reading glasses cases at home, but they'll suffice if I want to carry them around. There are perfectly sized spots for pens, tissues, hand sanitizer and notepads. I use long zippered compartments for receipts and papers. The organizer has a short strap with a lobster claw (perfect for hanging keys) and although I don't use it I appreciate having it. As mentioned earlier, risers can sometimes get in the way. I considered attaching them with velcro or pins but decided against it. They are very slightly intrusive and make it very easy to pull the liner out of your purse when needed, so I'd rather have it on hand than not. This is a very well thought out product and I highly recommend it. Simply measure your most used wallets to get the perfect size. If you can fit a 500ml water bottle in your purse, the plus size is probably great. Otherwise the medium would have been better. The width isn't that important in my opinion because, as I mentioned earlier, the liner will crumple while retaining its shape. By the way, I didn't feel like it added much to my wallet, and I'd rather trade a few ounces of extra weight for a ton of extra organization and comfort anyway.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
