Women have an amazing knack for fitting hundreds of useful and necessary items into our purses. Almost no purse ever has enough pockets to helpfully organize all that good stuff, though.  So, the trick then becomes FINDING any particular item when we need it.  That can really tick us be very frustrating.  I discovered a fantastic little gadget that will easily organize any bottomless pit purse in a woman’s collection. If you’re looking for a great gift for the beloved packrat woman in your life, a gift that is fun and stylish while also being practical and useful, consider getting her something that will remove frustration while adding function to her favorite purse – The Purse Perfector!

About the Purse Perfector

The Purse Perfector is a “Handbag & Purse Organizer Insert: One Insert Organizes Every Bag”.

From their website:

The Purse Perfector® will help simplify your life and let you use all your purses. Now every purse you own is — perfect!

This patented, shape-shifting organizer contains all your daily items in sections so you can find everything quickly and predictably:

• A zipper forms the center pocket to fit a checkbook, a passport or photos;

• The larger section holds my wallet, pen, reading glasses and sunglasses or make-up;

• The smaller section is the perfect place for phone, notepads, pill bottles, lipsticks, hand sanitizer or business cards, and more;

• The back pocket is handy for allowing quick access to business cards or, while traveling, a hotel key card;

• Unzip two sides for the long, thin profile for briefcase, diaper bag, sport bag or oversize tote;

• Unzip all three sides for a separated bag, smaller purse or fanny pack;

• Because of the stable, flat bottom, it sits upright when changing purses.

The Purse Perfector® is made in San Francisco from a high-grade nylon making it sturdy, lightweight and a breeze to wipe clean or machine wash and air dry.

Dimensions:

8″ long

4¼” tall (short section)

5¼” tall (tall section)

3½” deep or 1¼” deep per section

My Review

can you even see my keys in there? I know I can’t!

A little while ago, I bought a new pair of shoes and with them I was able to buy a $35 purse for $5.  After carrying a small, compact, plain black purse for a couple of months before that, I decided I wanted to try something fun and new.  I got a super cute, bright pink, shiny, bottomless pit of a relatively large purse with only 1 huge center pocket, 1 small zipper pocket and 2 small pockets on one side.  I moved the contents of my little purse, which was kinda like a brick, to the new roomier purse…. and immediately started losing my keys/iPhone/pens/time/sanity in the bottom of the big pocket.  I LOVED the purse – it was so cute and stylish – but hated fumbling for things in it.

Enter the Purse Perfector!

tied with an organza ribbon – so pretty!

Lyn from Purse Perfector sent me a gorgeous Berry Purse Perfector, which just happens to have been the EXACT color of the purse (BONUS!).

First of all, by now you know that presentation of a product is very important to me.  The Purse Perfector comes packaged beautifully, in it’s own bag with an organza ribbon tying it closed.  It just looks pretty when you open it up!

Plus, inside the package, the Purse Perfector already looks like a present, filled with pretty tissue and brightly colored instruction cards.   (Pretty is a good thing when it comes to a gift!)

Then I took all of what was in my big pink purse:

and put most of it into the Purse Perfector:

and then put the Purse Perfector into my huge pink purse:

You can hardly even see the Purse Perfector in my purse it matches so nicely, but regardless of the color, you can hopefully see how the contents of my purse are now easily accessible. Phone, wallet, check book, pens, keys, nail file, etc., are all in handy pockets and not just rolling around in the bottom of the purse.

I’m enjoying my cute pink purse even more now!  No more fumbling, no more digging for keys, less wasted time, less frustration.  The Purse Perfector is fun, cute, AND useful.  I can hardly imagine using a big purse without it ever again.

Personally speaking, because I can transfer this insert between purses, use it in nearly any purse or bag, in several different layouts, and minimize time and frustration (both with moving my stuff from one purse to another and with every day use), I consider the Purse Perfector to be a very good value for the cost.

The quality of materials and construction, the careful presentation, the style and practicality of the product, the ease of use, the fun factor, as well as the value for your money, make the Purse Perfector an excellent investment for yourself, and a thoughtful gift for a special woman in your life.
