I love big tote bags. They’re perfect for work, travel, or weekend errands. The trouble is that once you fill them, they become cavernous black holes. Finding things with ease, forget about it. Until you add an after market tote organizer that keeps your items sorted and gives your bag shape.
This purse organizer from Amazon gives you all the pockets you could ever need in a soft sided insert that fits in many tote bags. The company offers several styles that fit inside different tote, satchel, and top-handle bag styles. For under-$30, you can add storage to any tote bag whether it was inexpensive or pricey.
Looking for a great tote? I have three to recommend. This Everlane Cactus Tote has a modern, cool style that is perfect for work or weekend use. This $125 Ava Tote comes in a variety of colors. Expensive canvas totes are having a moment — you’ve probably seen the Saint Laurent one, the Marc Jacobs one and the Chloe one— but this Parker Thatch one gives you a summery canvas tote for under-$125.

Heads up for anyone who has been waiting to grab one – Cuyana sent me an email last week letting me know they’ll be discontinuing some of their classic tote styles to make way for some new styles (though they did not specify what those would look like, or how similar they might be).
So if you’ve been waiting, get while the getting’s good!

Ugh, so over this trend of companies charging the same for “vegan”/cactus leather as they do for real leather.

These organizers work great for diaper bags, too! As an alternative to buying a dedicated diaper bag, you can use a regular tote or backpack and add one of these organizer inserts. Our diaper bag is just a classic Jansport backpack with one of these things inside.
