    Learn More About Purse Inserts

    A purse organizer insert is a pouch that fits inside a bag or purse, sorting and protecting your items and your handbag’s interior. They’re also convenient for transferring your purse contents from one bag to another, allowing you to quickly match your purse to your outfit. Purse insert organizers typically have small pockets for sorting items, from makeup to pens and your keys. Purse inserts are especially handy for vintage bags and other purses that don’t come with modern bells and whistles, like a pocket for your phone.

    Etsy sellers make all sorts of handy purse inserts designed to achieve different levels of organization. From small purse organizer inserts that keep your lipsticks and glosses sorted to large dividers that protect important papers and receipts from getting grungy, here are a few of the most popular types of inserts.


    • Divider: Purse dividers add structure and convenient storage options to a purse with limited interior features. These inserts are designed to divide large spaces into smaller sections.
    • Portfolio: Thin and easily portable portfolio inserts are zippered pouches that can hold a wide variety of objects like notebooks, loose papers, photographs, and more.
    • Cosmetics: Cosmetic purse inserts are designed to hold makeup and beauty products, allowing you to bring your favorite powder, shadow, mascara, and polish anywhere.
    • Professional: Designed to hold folders, legal pads, water tumblers, and business cards, professional purse inserts turn your favorite handbag into a mini briefcase.

    Looking for the perfect purse insert for your handbag? Here are a few handy tips to keep in mind.


    • Size: Measure the interior of your purse to find the right-size insert for the job. Remember the insert dimensions will need to be at least one inch smaller than the overall dimensions of your bag.
    • Structure: If your bag has a relaxed bottom, look for an organizer with more stability.
    • Material: Purse organizers as typically made from two materials—felt or nylon. A felt insert is soft and easy to dye, making them available in a wide range of colors. Nylon inserts are light and easy to clean.
    • Compartments: A diaper bag purse insert has far more sections than an organizer for a typical handbag. Consider the amount of organization you need and what you’ll be storing and carrying day-to-day.
