Purseket Handbag Organizer Inserts v Organizer Handbags
It's quite lovely and retails at $1400.
But I've also had my eye on this bag ...
It's a nice shoulder bag from Prada which comes in at $1350.
Very different handbags, but I don't often spend this much on my purses so really it's a case of one or the other.
Now the Butler Bag does already come with all sorts of handy compartments for organizing my stuff so if I want to be organized, then this is the instant solution. But it also means that if I want to be organized I'm stuck with this one bag. And moving my stuff from bag to bag is still a chore.
Now that I have a Purseket Handbag Organizer Insert, I'm not limited to which bag I take with me. So I can put the organizer insert into my (soon to be) Prada and then ten minutes later I can slip the Organizer (along with all the contents) into my yoga tote -- all in less than 10 seconds!
Instand handbag switcheroo! All my bags are organized with a Purseket Handbag Organizer rather than just the one I'd have with the Butler Bag!
Now where did I see that Prada?

Junior Drop-In Handbag Organizer Insert Arrived
I don't carry much in my small handbag -- just a little bit of make-up for emergency touch-ups, my cell phone and a wallet. But even with this small amount, it's amazing how messy this little handbag can become.
The pic above shows everything that was in my handbag neatly organized into a tidy and attractive bundle ready to be easily inserted into any bag.

Did you know that Purseket is short for "Purse Pocket" and is pronounced purse-ket not purse-eh-kit?

My New Purseket Handbag Organizer Insert
Again, the fabric is lovely, but as I knew, the handbag organizer insert wasn't ever going to fit in my clutch. I was about to return it but had a flash of inspiration -- this may be a handbag orgaizer, but surely it could be used to organize other stuff too!
Well, my second most disorganized area is my home office. I use a shoebox tidy to keep all my pens and junk in one place, but just like my handbag it's a cluttered mess. I'm forever digging around trying to find a pen or pencil.
As you can see, this is just about as much of a wreck as my handbag.
Untill, that is, I put the Purseket Handbag Organizer Insert into it! Isn't that just beautiful. This is a standard shoebox sized cardboard tidy that you can pick up from any store. The handbag organizer is the medium purseket and it fits perfectly along three sides. And just like in my handbag, the organizer insert has created loads of space in the center for other stuff.
So this all turned out to be a happy mistake. I won't be returning this organizer, but I will be ordering the junior drop in for my clutch.

Oops -- I ordered the wrong handbag organizer!
Yesterday was that day. Amongst everything else I ordered the wrong sized handbag organizer from Purseket for my clutch.
I called Purseket and spoke with a very nice lady who told me there wasn't much that could be done because it had already shipped (wow! they work fast at Purseket) but I was more than welcome to return the organizer for an exchange.
Now, if only they sold new brains as well!

Ordering my second Handbag Organizer

How much time has my handbag organizer saved me?
Well it's saved me time. Take a look at this:
Last weekend I jotted down the average times it took to find things in my unorganized handbag. Just a simple 'one mississippi, two mississipi ... ".
I did the same yesterday/today with my organized handbag.
Here are the comparisons:
Searching For | Time taken average
| Time taken average W/ Handbag Organizer | No of times per day search takes place |
Pen/Notebook | 8 | 2 | 5 |
Lipstick | 6 | 3 | 4 |
Mascara | 5 | 3 | 2 |
Keys | 5 | 1 | 12 |
Hand lotion | 3 | 2 | 5 |
Phone | 3 | 1 | 7 |
Hairbrush | 2 | 1 | 6 |
Sunglasses | 2 | 1 | 3 |
TOTALS |
And I know how many times per day I reach for these things. Don't ask me why I know -- I just do. We all have our thing, right?
Searching For | Total time per day for searching No Handbag Organizer | Total time per day for searching W/ Handbag Organizer | Time saved per day | Time saved per year |
Pen/Notebook | 40 | 10 | 30 | 10950 |
Lipstick | 24 | 12 | 12 | 4380 |
Mascara | 10 | 6 | 4 | 1460 |
Keys | 60 | 12 | 48 | 17520 |
Hand lotion | 15 | 10 | 5 | 1825 |
Phone | 21 | 7 | 14 | 5110 |
Hairbrush | 12 | 6 | 6 | 2190 |
Sunglasses | 6 | 3 | 3 | 1095 |
TOTALS | 188 | 66 | 122 | 44530 |
So the Purseket Handbag organizer will save me 44,530 seconds per year.
That's more than 12 hours!
I don't know how much you earn per hour, but this handbag organizer pays for itself. Purseket might as well give this away for free!

Handbag Organizers -The ultimate solution.
"Get what?" I hear you ask. Shamefully, the answer to that question is "my cell phone" -- and the answer to my husband's question was, or should have been "I'm trying".
You see, it'd been one of those days. I'd gotten up late, the kids were messing around and I had a 10pm meeting. I slammed everything into my handbag, rushed out the door and hoped for the best.
If only I'd had the foresite to throw my car keys into the bag amongst all the other junk I'd put in there. So back to the house it was. And the screaming kids. Then pick up the keys, back to the car and finally I could get on my way.
I arrive at my meeting with a whole 10 minutes to spare. Before I get out of the car, I reach into my handbag to get a hairbrush to tidy myself up. Of course, it's in my yoga tote at home, so my fingers have to be made to improvise. After making a passable attempt at straightening out my locks, I leave the car and head off for the meeting.
It's one of THOSE meetings -- you know, the one that's supposed to last for an hour but ends up going on for five or six and proves to be totally unproductive. So I left a little after 5 o'clock and head home frustrated and irritable.
As soon as I get through my front door my blackberry starts ringing from within the depths of my handbag.
Ring-ring.
I drop my car keys on the hallway table and open up the chaotic pit that my handbag had become during the day.
Ring-ring.
The kids run up to me. "Hi mom!!! How was your day?", "Are we going to the movies tonight", "Can we have Chinese for dinner", "Where's my soccer uniform", "The cat's been sick". Now, where's my cell phone?
Ring-ring.
Oh look, there's my hairbrush! And a half-empty pack of mints. And a notebook. Half a dozen pens that don't work. My lippy. Another pack of mints. My 20% off coupon for Macy's that expired two months ago. A new pair of stockings. Moisturizer...
Ring-ring.
How can it be so difficult to find a phone in a handbag that's so small?
Ring-ring.
"Are you going to get that?" my dear, dear husband offers.
And that, as they say, was the straw that broke the camel's proverbial back. I turned to him and he literally cowered away from my gaze. In retrospect I'm impressed that one stern look can make a man cower. At the time though I was far from being amused.
Well, I missed the call, but I did realize that if I could organize my handbag a little better then I would have saved a fair bit of time, energy and frustration during the day. So I turned to my ever faithful helper (Google) and looked up handbag organizers and discovered a world of joy.
I never knew there were so many ways of organizing your handbag! I ordered a Purseket online (www.purseket.com). This handy handbag organizer purtains to be the 'original organizer' which is nice -- I like originality. It's a handbag insert -- a panel of pockets designed to wrap around the inside of your handbag. It looks like such a great and simple idea. My handbag will soon have a half-dozen pockets for all my stuff and hopefully I'll be able to answer my calls without wanting to bruise my hubby.
They're available in all sorts of sizes and patterns to suit any handbag, but I'm hoping the Purseket will be versatile enough to just slip from bag to bag. I can only imagine how much time that alone will save me.
I'll let you know if it works out for me :)

Transform any Purse from Chaotic Mess to Organized Success with the Purseket Handbag Organizer
So, how does this Purseket Organizer help? Well, I'll explain... The Purseket Purse Organizer Insert is a liner for the interior of your handbag. It's a panel of neatly sewn pockets which you place inside it to give it internal pockets.
Firstly, the key post is a elegant solution to a huge problem -- just pop your keys on this key post and you will always be able to locate your keys. I was always misplacing my keys, but I haven't lost them since I've been using the Purseket -- they just hang around the post waiting to be found.
If you like to carry bigger things, like hairbrushes, PDAs and the like, the Purseket handbag organizer has gusseted compartments. It may sound like a small thing, but its surely one that separates the Purseket handbag organizer insert apart from the competition.
And, if you purchase any but the Junior Drop-In Purseket, there's more: a fastenable privacy pouch to make sure smaller stuff is well held. So, as well as the expandable design, you really can squeeze some things in this single pocket.
Swapping handbags with a Purseket Purse Organizer is really as simple as changing your shoes. And in fact, you'll now be able to match your purse with your wardrobe, or anything else, without any trouble. I hardly ever bothered changing my purse to coordinate with my outfit as transferring all my contents from one handbag to another was such a chore. Well, the Purseket Handbag Organizer Insert has given me back this option -- I now dress in style!
I'm particular when it comes to fabrics, but, thankfully, Pursekets come in a broad assortment. Some are great, a few, however, are not to my tastes, but there's something for everyone. And the Panther print is really lovely.
Unlike some other products on the market, the Purseket Handbag Organizer is well made and durable. There's obviously a lot of work in these -- the sheer amount of sewing required to produce the pocket's gussetting is mind blowing and its easy to understand why other manufacturers don't worry about going the extra mile. It surely must eat into the time it takes to make these! So, thank you Purseket for not taking the short-cut here and for manufacturing a high-caliber product.
Thank you, Purseket!
Available online at www.Purseket.com for around $20
