Benefits of technology

[0017] The present invention provides a pouch that is insertable in a purse or handbag. The pouch is generally rectangular in shape, open at the top thereof, and has a plurality of inner pockets for storing and organizing items to be carried. The invention functions as a purse liner, purse organizer and as a pouch in which essential items stored therein may be transferred from one purse or hand bag to another. There are also a plurality of fabric loops, which are anchored to the inner walls of the pouch, and in which can be secured pens and lipstick canisters. One end of a key tether is secured within the pouch. The free end of the tether is coupled to a clip releasable with one hand that may be releasably attached to a key chain or key ring. The pouch is fabricated from mesh fabric made of woven polyester thread coated with vinyl. For a preferred embodiment of the invention, a mesh having the trademark Phifertex, and produced by Phifer Wire Products, Inc. Is used. The use of mesh for the construction of the pouch allows it to be washed and dried within minutes. In addition, the smooth vinyl coating ensures that wear to the inner lining of the purse or hand bag will be minimized. An additional benefit is that most dirt and dust particles will pass through the mesh so that the pouch is always clean and so that contamination is not passed from one purse to another. The dirt and dust can be removed from the empty purse by simply inverting it, without having to empty the pouch.

[0018] The pouch of the present invention is designed to store essential items, such as credit cards, a driver's license, a checkbook, a pen, a wallet, lipstick, a cell phone, and a day planner. The invention thus facilitates the transfer of these essential items from one purse to another.

Problems solved by technology

However, the multiple compartments within the interior of a purse are not removable as a single carrying item.

While some conventional handbags with special removable carrying compartments provide dual setting handbags appropriate for both formal and informal occasions, many require mechanical fixtures such as frame elements and bulky pouches which extend the entire length or volume of a purse or handbag.

A major drawback is that the pouch is disclosed as useful only with a particular size and shape of lining and cover; there is no teaching of construction and use of the pouch with a wide variety of purses, packs, bags, etc. of most any size and shape.

The pouch is not removable.
