Let’s recap what was going on at that time? You finally arrive at your destination but can’t find your phone and most importantly, where the hell is your red lipstick? Reapplying lipstick is not a “want” but a “need” (both guys and girls who know this stuff understand this). So, you reach into your stylish little purse, rummage around for a while before pulling out your lipstick… and the gum wrapper you swore you’d throw away. Trust me, we’ve all been there and it’s not fun. But don’t worry, the next thing I’m going to introduce to you is a practical little invention called the “Purse Organizer,” baby.
Perfect for totes, cross-body bags, and just about any bag, a purse organizer is that little Marie Kondo-style addition you’ve been missing. They often feature practical pockets, card slots, and dividers to keep your belongings organized and out of the bottom of your bag. They’ll also help you declutter while you’re traveling.
So if you’re like us and have finally decided to stop struggling to find things in your purse, keep scrolling to shop our favorite purse organizers.

While a purse organizer can completely change your shopping experience, no one likes an organizer that only adds clutter to your bag. Before adding items to your cart, keep the following in mind:
If there’s anything worse than leaving everything you need in your bag, it’s ordering a purse organizer only to find out it won’t fit! Before you hit the “buy now” button, be sure to accurately measure the dimensions (width, height, and depth) of the bag you use every day and compare them to the dimensions of the purse organizer you’re considering. Even if you want a storage bag that fills your entire bag, you should leave a few inches of space in all directions, as stuffing your items into a storage bag will likely cause it to expand in size.
Before you buy a bag organizer, you’ll also want to think about what you plan to store in it — makeup brushes, lip balm, sunglasses, chargers, etc. Depending on what you plan to use the bag for, you may want to choose a waterproof material or a dark color. For example, leather and nylon are more stain-resistant (and easier to clean) than cotton or polyester. Plus, dark colors hide pen marks, makeup, and other stains better than light colors.
One of the key things to consider when choosing a bag organizer is how much space you need to store your essentials. Do you prefer fewer compartments for larger items or do you need to use all the pockets for smaller items? This will help you determine which organizer will best suit your daily travel needs.
