Why you need to invest in a bag organiser

A rite of passage in every woman's life is acquiring a bag and learning the weight of the responsibilities that come with it.

First, you quickly realise that no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to find exactly what you need in the moment. In fact, you come to understand that Mary Poppins wasn't too far off when she pulled seemingly random objects out of her bag.

Second, you start to grasp the cautionary tale that comes with every item in your bag. I can't count the number of times I've had lip gloss stain the inside, a pen explode and splatter ink everywhere, or, worst of all, my half-opened food container has decided to flip upside down.

So, is it possible to avoid the inevitable chaos inside our bags and lighten the load of keeping everything spotless and organised?

Enter the bag organiser.

What I love

I bought my first bag organiser last year after receiving a new tote bag for work. My main concern was protecting the interior and making sure it kept its shape when empty. At the same time, I was desperate to get some organisation to the otherwise large, empty space inside the bag.

The convenience of a bag organizer is unmatched. I no longer have to worry about the interior of my bag, spills, or disorganisation, especially when I've invested in a high-quality bag. I can effortlessly toss in my flats without worrying about them dirtying the interior, and I don't have to stress about carrying around an old food container. In short, it gives me peace of mind.

It's also incredibly affordable with a low price point and easy to replace. There are several colours to choose from that you can easily match to your bag's interior, making it both discreet and stylish.

One of the best things about it is how neat it keeps my bag. The organisation and multiple pockets make it unbelievably easy to find anything.

Another huge advantage is how the bag organiser helps maintain the shape of my purse. I've seen countless videos where women explain how an empty, deflated bag loses its shape faster, as the material becomes strained. My bag organiser has helped preserve the shape of my bag without the need to overstuff it.

The extra-long detachable keychain has been a complete lifesaver, too! I've always been the woman who spends forever searching for her keys, especially after grocery shopping, when I've had to empty everything just to find them. Now, with the long keychain, I always know exactly where they are. It's so easy to grab, and I never have to unpack my groceries again.

Currently, it holds a solid 4.5 stars out of 5 on Amazon with over 16,250 reviews.

One reviewer shared: "Love the pattern and colour, keeps my stuff well-organised, and the strap keeps it in place inside my purse. I got the medium size. The Velcro middle piece is sturdy and doesn't move [once it's in]. It's beautiful, sturdy, holds a ton of stuff. It does what I need. I would purchase another one for a larger bag."

Another reviewer said:

"I'm picky and I love this! The medium-size organiser fits perfectly in my hobo-style bags. Before, everything fell to the bottom in a big messy pile. Now, everything has a place and is easy to find. Just love my purses again with this organiser!"

What to keep an eye out for

When purchasing a bag organiser, one of the most important things to keep in mind is measuring your bag to ensure you choose the right size. A large number of negative reviews of the bag organiser focus on sizing issues, so checking and using the dimensions of your bag is important.

What I love about my bag organisers is how perfectly they fit and how their shape matches the design of my bag. I have always hesitated to buy bag organisers in the past because I did not want them to stand out too much.

This also applies to colour-matching, as picking a well-matched colour ensures the organiser blends seamlessly with your bag.

That being said, once you get a bag organiser you like it's an absolute game changer. I cannot stop recommending it to friends, family and colleagues because it's honestly made my life so much easier.
