How to organize a small purse?

Grab a couple little zippered make up bags. One for this, one for that

Years ago I ordered a small nylon (so it's lightweight) purse organizer from the Harriet Carter Catalog. It's about 6 or 8 inches long, about 4" high, and probably 3-4" wide. It has 4 outside pockets, an inside divider to make two sections, and one zipper pocket -- pretty much places for everything. I would suggest a nylon or fabric wallet for credit cards and money or you could put it in the zippered makeup bag. I really wish they made a larger organizer (and they may; I haven't looked lately) because I couldn't resist buying one of those tote bags that everyone has now in a beautiful deep olive green for fall and it doesn't even have the zippered pocket. Retailers should let their vendors know that they could sell more purses (I'm from Waco so I carry a purse too) if they put pockets on the outside and inside.

My error -- apparently it was Carol Wright Gifts. The current organizer is 9 1/2"L x 6 1/4"H x 3"D and made of polyester.

They make divider things for purses...they slip in your purse and have compartments. There are 2 sizes..larger purse and smaller purse. Ask at a store that sells purses.

ditto on the purse organizer, it makes switching out purses super easy. Packing cubes are amazing for keeping things categorized: for example you could have one for money (cash cards, etc), one for makeup or touch up items you keep on hand, one for snacks etc

I use appropriate sized baggies, from snack to sandwich to quart size for various things in my purse, especially the little things, like change, lipsticks and pens. It keeps them in one place. Snack bags work well for credit cards and business cards. Baggies are not as big as makeup bags and are more forgiving.

Use small ziplock bags. You can see whats in them, and they line up side by side.

please be certain to put ID & credit cards, etc in RFID protected device. Wallet or metal holder (Amazon or EBay) works well & are lightweight.

I found a place that makes an organized bag(purse). My sister and I have a couple of them because they are sooo good. They cost some, but they are the most useful purse I in my 62 yrs have used in the last 30yrs. They have an online site-theorganizedbag.com...You can build your own by sz, color and strap lenght.

Oh, they're just about the best thing ever! https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-4-Piece-Packing-Cube-Set/dp/B014VBHYRA/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1505970683&sr=1-3&nodeID=15743971&psd=1&refinements=p_89%3AAmazonBasics

I also have several purse organizers of different sizes. They are wonderful because you can take them out and just put the whole thing in another purse. I bought one at Rite Aid drug store, and a couple online. I haven't check it out but Amazon seems to have everything!

I used to have the messiest purses ever until I got a phone case that had a wallet in it. The phone attaches with a magnet and it holds 6 cards I think and has a small zipper for cash. I got it on Amazon for 10-15 dollars. Now I often only carry that and it has trained me to throw out/recycle things I don't need that I used to stuff in my purse. You could just put that and a small makeup bag in your purse.

I carried a card holder with a magnet for folding money and had to replace all my cards because of the magnet. Walmart sells nice small insert wallets and purses.

Ebags has organizers as well.

I have several organizing posts that might help you https://chascrazycreations.com/diys/how-tos/organizing/
