This is a pretty good product and met my needs, at least as well as any I've tried, but all that I've tried have had at least one flaw that made them less than desirable. The measurement information on this page is fairly accurate, as is the general description of this purse organizer, however, that doesn't tell the whole story on how this one works.

There are just a few details that aren't really explored here, details that did knock this down to a four star product for me, even though I am keeping it and using it, starting with the misleading pocket measurements. The pockets on the interior of the organizer are very tight and were measured flat and so, as a result, they don't hold items of the measurements that would be expected to fit, items of a couple of centimeters less than the specified measurements for each pocket. This caused some problems in using the organizer to maximum efficiency, which was a bit annoying, but most items were small enough to fit. Beyond that, the lack of any center divider or dividers, given the width of the organizer, left the wallet and papers and such, all sort of floating around and hitting each other, which was also annoying and lessened the effectiveness of the organizer. Finally, the handles come in the form of two horizontal slits in the organizer, one on either side, rather than actual, attached, handles, of the type that would hang down on the outside or cling to the outside. As a result, the sides of the organizer above the handles/slits sort of pucker out and move around, significantly lowering the actual height of the organizer along the length of each handle, such that only shorter items can really be stored in those locations, unfortunately both on the inside and outside of the organizer.

That is three fairly significant flaws but, given that it is one of the only narrower felt organizers available, yet still more than wide enough to justify at least one long divider down the center, if not two, it ended up being the best option for me and, consequently, I had to knit up a center divider and sew it in myself which was, you guessed it, kind of annoying.

As to the positive features, and it does have them, the best feature of this organizer is that it is one of a very small selection that have a rounded base. Even though the base is rectangular, the sides were sewn on to it down at the ends in such a way as to cause them to punch out, making the overall shape of this organizer more of an oval, with a nice rounding at both ends. Also, this organizer is sturdy and stiff enough to provide support to a flimsier bag but is malleable enough to conform to one purse that is slightly too small for it and another purse that has a rounded base or seat (where this is obviously intended for a flat-base bag of the type you could set on a table without having it fall over). The best feature, as mentioned above, is that this is longer and taller, as you would want for most bags, but narrower, such that it will work in a hobo-style bag. I haven't found any others that work for my hobo bag and that is the top reason I am keeping this and making modifications to it so that it will work better for my purposes. It is so hard to find one that works perfectly in all ways and fits the couple of bags that I want to use it with and, because of the pros on this one, it really did end up being a four star organizer, in spite of the three fairly significant flaws.

I wish you luck in finding one of these that will work for you. It isn't easy but, when you find one, it really does make such a difference in improving the ease of finding things in your bag and, of course, switching, if you like to switch bags. I hope this helps you and, remember, you can always add another pocket or divider on a felt organizer, as they are sturdier than polyester organizers and allow for easy sewing, especially with embroidery thread or a nice thin yarn. you can even sew up the handles, if you so choose.
