[0021] The present carrier and organizer incorporates the use of bold color for accessory sub-compartments that appear in stark contrast against the lining color (i.e., light lining with dark sub-compartments; dark lining with light sub-compartments.) This stark color-contrast for various sub-compartments allows for the handy reception, storage and retrieval of sundry personal and medical items. Additionally, while described mainly in color-contrast compartments, the present invention further comprises a texture contrast and an orientation contrast. The texture contrast is based on the different material used in the sub-compartments, thereby permitting the user to distinguish the compartments by touch. The orientation contrast includes staggering or cascading the sub-compartments, while additionally varying the sub-compartment sizes to enable the user to better distinguish between the sub-compartments of the present invention.

[0022] The present invention preferably comprises a handbag section and an organizer section. Each section preferably comprises several sub-compartments, and each section is uniquely accessed. The handbag section utilizes a flap-front access, while the organizer section employs a double-pull zipper access. This allows the user to differentiate between the two sections by touch and / or by sight; thus eliminating the confusion regarding which component one is accessing.
