Purse Organization (Purseket Review)

*Note: This post was originally written on Jan 24, 2012 on my old blog (loveformakeup.com). I am transferring the content here. 


Many purses/bags (including high-end designer purses) look amazing, stylish, and chic on the exterior � but often times only have one large compartment and a small interior pocket.  It�s difficult to keep a purse organized with just one small compartment, especially if you love carrying small items in your bag. I personally use the Purseket as my purse organizer (and have for a whole year now). It works great for me; here�s my review!

What is a Purseket?
A Purseket is a insert-able/removable purse organizer that creates multiple interior pockets for your purse. It�s pretty much fabric sewn around a sturdy yet flexible cardboard-like material so it sits snugly against the sides of your purse.

What styles/sizes are available?
There are different styles, patterned and solid-colors; visit Pursket.com to see which are in stock.
I don�t love the style/design I chose, but it was the best one they had available at that time.
*
 Small � 7� height x 20� length, 5 pockets measuring 3?, 3.5?, 4.5?, 5?, 5? (left to right)
* Medium � 
7� height x 25� or 26� length, 6 pockets (pocket measurement depends on design)
* Large � 
8� height x 36� length, with 8 pockets

Positives of the Purseket: 
* significantly reduces clutter
* saves time when swapping handbags (one easy transfer from one purse to another rather than moving each item over individually)
* key post (see photo below) to hang keys eliminates the need to dig around for them
* creates multiple pockets in bags that only have one large compartment
* provides structure to bags that are otherwise flimsy/slouchy
* flexible frame (but DO NOT fold it!)

Negatives of the Purseket:
* limited design selection; I don�t like most of the designs/color-combinations. I�d recommend a solid color.
* if you fold your Purseket, it�s pretty much done for. I�m pretty sure the interior is some kind of cardboard.
* if your keys are heavy, it can weigh down your Purseket and may prevent it from snugly hugging the side of your bag
* (in my opinion) quite pricey for the material it�s made of (cardboard & fabric?)
* shipping cost if ordered from Purseket.com (I paid $5 for S/H)

Out of the box:

I own the "small" size; but do not like the design much:


I love the sturdy key post to hang my keys:

This is what things looked like in my bag before the Purseket:
Nothing is tucked away (pens, tampon, misc items)

I also use the Purseket in my LV Speedy 30:
Notice the small size does not wrap all the way around (what I intended).
If you'd like it to wrap around, try a medium or large size Purseket.


Overall, a very useful purse organizer but can use some improvements.
There are various other purse organizer alternatives out there; just search "purse organizer" and you'll find all different types. Feel free to share your favorite purse organizer and purse organization tips/tricks in the comments!
