For Bag-A-Holics Only

Hello. My name is deb.

And, I’m a bag-a-holic …

OK, there. I’ve said it.

Ithink it’s the same reason I love shoes so much. They always fit no matter what the scale says. And functional. I’m a little neurotic when it comes to organization. Speaking of my fanatical organization fetish, I once had a boyfriend who said there was a name for people like me… Besides that point, I really do like being organized especially with purses and bags for both traveling and getting through the work week.

There’s nothing worse than having to hold up the line by digging down into that bottomless black hole and not being able to quickly get to your bus pass… or phone… or cash… or keys… or glasses… Whatever it is, you get the picture. And it’s always when there’s a string of people waiting behind you, then putting their hands on their hips with a loud sigh, and ultimately rolling their eyes while they shoot daggers into the back of your neck. I loathe being the one holding up the line worst than the one who actually does it ahead of me.

That’s one reason I love making purses and pouch organizers so much. Besides just being addicted to purses (bag-a-holic, remember?) I actually love creating organizational tools as much as I love to be organized.

I wonder if there’s a name for people who are also addicted to matched sets?

Seriously though, creating a great handbag is like creating a piece of sculpture. It has to fit its space “just right.” And in the case of a bag-a-holic, it has to have ultimate functionality. I guess all women are at least a little bit obsessed with purses and handbags. Almost all the ones I know, anyway. We’re always looking for just the right one that works just right. It’s like being Goldilocks with the three bears. One’s too heavy, one's too small, one’s handles are too short… Where’s that one that’s just right?

I finally found the formula. I’ve tried bags with all sorts of pockets and sections, but those are too hard to keep organized because you have to be so fussy (while in a hurry) so nothing EVER gets back into it’s one-and-only place. I’ve loved leather bags, and, bags with all sorts of hardware and glam, but those are just too heavy too carry around all day by the time you get all your personal gear loaded. You name it, I’ve tried them all. I’ve learned to just go for a specific size, shape and material, then let mother nature take it’s course.

Here’s my solution. I use our zippered travel organizers with an ample Statement Bag or Crossbody Tote. They’re both beautiful and super functional. The statement bag has just the right amount of leather details without making it too heavy and the zippered pouches keep everything sorted but without having to be exact with specific pockets and all.

1. Cosmetics and/or personal items in one (or two).2. Cards, coins, and cash in another.

3. And a third one for miscellaneous things I don’t use that often but still need to have on hand or carry with me.

4. I also sometimes use one just for mail, coupons, and paperwork when I need to carry them for more days than a quick errand or trip to the post office. Keeping them inside a closed pouch keeps them from getting gnarly, dirty and torn.

Using this method keeps all “like things” together and so much easier to pull out what you need by just grabbing the correct organizer which is either by its size or its fabric design. It also makes it so easy to switch purses when you’re trading out for a special outfit.

An extra big bonus: the next time you drop your purse (which is bound to happen again), your entire life won’t be spilling out all over creation spreading all your dark secrets for the whole world to see.

There’s plenty of sizes and styles to choose from so you’ll be able to fully account for everything you normally carry in your purse.

We have some super nice Statement Bags and Crossbody Totes with superbly beautiful design options. We’d love to get your opinion. Do let us know what you think. Especially if you have a special request. Our specialty is fulfilling custom orders.

And, while you're walking around all smart and tidy with your gorgeous new bag, don’t forget to spread a little magic wherever you go.
