A bag full of smiles!

Tips to arrange your handbag:

Take out everything that's currently living in your purse. Clean out all those little side pockets, too.

Your bag is not a mess anymore

Check under the lining for lost objects. Now, separate the contents by category: one pile for money-related stuff like checkbook, change purse, credit cards, and receipts; one pile for makeup and other grooming items like hairbrushes, combs, hair accessories, hand cream, and nail files; one pile for candies, mints, gum; one for paper, pens, lists, coupons, or flyers; one pile for kid-related stuff (if this applies to you); and one pile for everything else.

Keep your favorites, and set the duplicates aside. As for everything else, think about which items you use on a daily basis, and which you only need once in a while. By minimizing the contents of your purse, you'll make it easier to find what you need when you need it.

Once you've decided what's going to stay in your bag, you can delegate smaller items to your pouches.

Try to choose pouches in different colours and textures, so you can tell what's in each without opening them. Larger items can free-float in your purse.

Repack your bag with your new pouches. Arrange larger items around them.

Your handbag should have enough free space to allow you to retrieve any object easily.
