This handy Periea pouch is referred to as a handbag organizer, perfect for sorting items inside large purses that lack compartments or pockets. It also makes changing purses fast and easy — pull the loaded organizer out of one satchel and simply plop into another. However, the purpose of the multi-pocket organizer extends further than just handbags. As a matter of fact, our GlobeHoppers think this bag is great for packing and sorting small items for travel. As an added bonus, it is priced more affordably than several other bags of this type that are “branded for travel”.
Dimensions of this 12-compartment bag are 8.6 inches in length, 5.9 inches tall, and 3.5 inches wide thanks to two sturdy snap closures on either end that allow the bag to expand. The biggest section is the middle of the bag with one zippered compartment on either side. Additionally, there are several exterior pockets in various sizes, two of which are mesh-covered for easy viewing. Two small handles on top of the bag allow it to be easily picked up and tucked inside a suitcase, carry-on, backpack, or tote.
The organizer is perfect for packing and sorting several small essential items, including everything from a variety of travel-size toiletries and shaving gear to cosmetics and jewelry. This is also the perfect container for sorting and transporting medications, or for packing tech items such as power cords, extra SIM cards, and earbuds, with the middle compartment big enough for a small tablet. The two zippered compartments are perfect for anything that needs extra security or might be easily lost.
Unfortunately, because the bag was fashioned as a handbag insert, it was designed for easy access with an open top. This means it lacks a zipper on the main compartment or a way to close the entire pouch. As such, it’s possible for items to slide out of their individual pockets. However, if it is packed tightly and securely inside a suitcase or carry-on, or is able to be stored upright, it’s been our experience that all contents will remain firmly in place.
Upon arrival at your destination, the bag is convenient for taking an assortment of items to the pool or beach, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, room key, phone, a paperback to read which fits perfectly into the middle compartment, and a few bills instead of taking your entire wallet.
Made from a combination of polyester and nylon, the Periea organizer bag comes in a wide variety of colors and is perfect for packing several smallish items all in one place. Whether your next adventure is a road trip, a cruise, or involves train or air travel, you can organize plenty of items in this bag. Consider buying more than one to color-code your belongings.
