Inside Purse Organization Ideas
1. Consolidate your Purse Loose Items into Zipper Pouches.
Let me tell you, the day I discovered zipper pouches, all my organization dreams came true! Haha! Dramatic? Maybe a little! But I am serious! I use them everywhere and for everything, and they are the best inside purse organizers! I’ve been using them recently to organize our masks, family games, car, and other things/spaces around the house. Their versatility is truly remarkable. And the best part? They’re so easy to use, now, I use them to organize everything in my purse.
I no longer have things rolling around loose in my purse! Everything in my purse has a home, and I know exactly where to find it when I need it. This has also made switching between purses WAY easier!
Create categories for your zipper pouches based on the items you most commonly carry in your purse and need. Then, label each category.
As you create your zipper pouch categories, purge and rehome items that may have accumulated in your purse and that you don’t need to have with you at all times.
Because everyone’s purse contents differ, I won’t give you a specific list of things you “should” carry in your purse. Instead, I’ll share my categories and some of my must-have purse essentials to give you some ideas.
Here are my categories and what each of my categories contains:
- Accessories:
- gum
- hair ties
- bobby pins
- lip balm
- sticky notes
- pen
- tissue
- charger
- earphone
- sewing kit
- first-aid kit
- trash bags – I use my dog’s poop bags – double use, ha! Trash and poop! 🙂
- Extra clean mask pouch
- Dirty masks pouch
You can create more categories rather than lump them all together, as I do, but this works for me now. If I ever need to add anything else to my purse, it goes into my “accessories” zipper pouch. I can always revisit my categories and create more if needed.
2. Use Cord Ties To Keep Cords Tidy.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand when my chargers, earphones, etc. get all tangled up in my purse! Since I used cord ties to organize all the cords/cables in our home, I couldn’t return to not using them! I don’t know how I lived without them all this time.
I know there are a ton of cute/fancy cord ties out there, but I prefer and recommend these simple black ones. They are inexpensive, and if I lose one, it doesn’t matter. And they work just as well as the expensive ones.
3. Use a Wristlet Strap to Keep Keys Handy.
I couldn’t find mine. I got it years ago, but here is a similar one. A wristlet strap is a must. With this product, you can either hang the keys around your wrist or clip your keys inside your purse.
4. Assign a use to the Pockets built into the Purse.
I recommend using the outside pockets of your purse for items you use most often. For example, in the purse shown in this post, I use the front lower pocket for my phone, which makes it easy to grab and put away. I use the back top pocket of my purse for hand sanitizer, hand lotion, and wipes because I use those items often.
All that to say, don’t forget about those pockets!
And there you have it! Did this motivate you to organize your purse? Yes? I hope so! If you try these purse organization tips, let me know how they work!
