So many of the currently fashionable handbags are enormous and cavernous.  It is almost impossible to find a small item in them, and delving in is more like an excavation than anything else.

This website is dedicated to the praise of leather organizer bags.  Leather, because it is the most stylish, most durable and most classy material for handbags.  Organizer, meaning with lots of pockets and places for all your bits and pieces, so that you can find things easily and have them to hand when they are needed.

Most women use handbags to carry a lot of personal items such as appointment books, coin purses, wallets, makeup and other personal items. Some of these items are required on a daily basis, but many are extracted from the bag infrequently, if ever. Unfortunately, unless the wearer is very efficient, handbags tend to become like a black hole, into which everything disappears.

Organizer handbags have built in compartments that help keep the contents easily accessible and eliminate the embarrassment of the cluttered bag syndrome. An organizer handbag gives you somewhere specific to keep your keys, wallet, makeup and diary and all the things you need to be able to find quickly and look elegant while you are doing so.

Organizer bags used to be mostly made of cheap imitation leather and were perceived as rather frumpy and obsessive.  However, now that so many people carry notebook computers around, the messenger bag with its special pockets for laptop and power cables, as well as everything else, has changed that idea.

These days designers of such handbags are focusing their attention on coming up with more attractive and helpful organizer handbags. You now have plenty of choice and you are sure to find an organizer handbag that suits your personality and your lifestyle.

One of the best things about an organizer handbag is that things are less likely to fall out of it.  Even if you drop your bag, the majority of the contents will be secure in zippered pockets or slid into a special compartment. Only the heaviest objects that have been loosely stowed will drop out of the bag.

If you have a favourite handbag of the cavernous variety, or if you want to change your handbag frequently to match your outfit, a purse organizer insert may be the ideal option for you.  These fulfil a similar purpose to the regular organizer bag, but can be moved from one handbag to another without changing or re-stowing the contents.

Whatever type of organizer you choose, here are some hints about how to place your most regularly used items inside it so that you can find them easily.

The best way to arrange your personal items is by grouping like items into lots. If you are using a purse organizer, check its contents regularly for items which are not being used often. For those items that could not be accommodated in your purse organizer, reserve a section in your bag where you can place all of these items.

There are many advantages to having an organized handbag. An organized bag is one of the best ways to start making your entire life more organized.

In business, having a well-organized purse makes you look more efficient and less fussed.  Men hate seeing women fumbling around in their bags for their wallet, Blackberry or keys.

There is another very good reason to keep the things you tote around in your bag to a minimum.  Physiotherapists and chiropractors are reporting a huge increase in back, neck and shoulder problems in women, caused by their carrying heavy bags on long straps hanging from one shoulder. The average handbag weighs 5.5 lbs and 6.5 lbs is becoming more common.

Women are carrying extra medication “just in case”, a large number of beauty products such as several different colored lipsticks, a lot of chemist items such as hand sanitizer, breath freshener, toothpaste, wet wipes, stain removers, bandaids.  Chewing gum and cigarettes also add to the weight and the bulk. In addition to this, many women carry electronics and similar items such a cellphone, Blackberry, iPod, digital camera, pepper spray or mace, torch.  Many also carry one or more books, an umbrella, sunglasses and multiple receipts, dockets, notes and other paperwork.

What does a man carry in his pockets?  A wallet, coin purse, keys, cellphone, sunglasses, pen, handkerchief and that’s about it.

Whatever you carry around, it is worth going through your bag contents critically and deciding if you really need to carry each item, or if several items can be replaced with a single substitute.  For instance, a cellphone can also double as an mp3 player, FM radio, GPS system, camera, address book, calendar, email, internet browser, ebook reader and Windows Mobile enabled computer – all at once!.  This fits in a pocket and I have everything in one place.
