Derek Alexander Half Flap Organizer 

"I wanted to love this. I was hopeful that it would free me up from a heavier handbag with a separate wallet. Though I liked the bright colors inside the bag, the pastel was a bit dated/frumpy. I was determined to look past that to the possible benefits; however, the bag fell short. The pockets in the central compartment are obviously meant for glasses and/or a cell phone, and both were too narrow and shallow. My glasses are not large at all, and I have a slender phone- neither would fit properly. If you use one of those compartment for the phone, then be prepared to open your bag every time you need to get to the phone. The slots for credit cards were adequate. A big drawback was the lack of an obvious place for change, despite different zippered areas. Once I put my checkbook into the largest main compartment, I knew it wasn't going to work out. There was an inside zippered compartment for personal items, but I couldn't put much in it without making the bag bulge. Finding a place for an average size key ring was problematic as well. There's a nice outside zip pocket, but putting the keys into it again made the bag bulge unattractively. The story is that unless you are the kind of person who carries next to nothing to begin with, this bag is not going to work for you. It might work if you use it as a casual evening bag, but certainly not as a bag you might be able to use every day. A little bit larger, an obvious place for change, and an enlargement of the pockets meant for phone/glasses (really bad design there) would make a big difference. An update of the interior colors would be appealing as well. Derek Alexander makes excellent quality products, and I do think there is a market for this type of bag. I'd try it again if the design were tweaked."

"I like to use a small purse but previously found it very challenging to find one that could meet all my needs including multiple areas for storage and organization. This is my first Derek Alexander purse and I could not be happier. I have been using the purse daily for approximately 6 months. It is easy to use, organize and keep clean. The storage and organization of the purse is absolutely phenomenal. I love color and the bright pink and purple details on the purse are beautiful. A great buy for a very picky purse owner!!!"

"Great for travel these days and bought one for my mom who never carries a purse but she loved it for travel as well."

"absolutely LOVE it unfortunately i had to return it as it arrived damaged and i was informed there was no other to replace it and they would not offer me a discount due to the damage it suffered. i am heartbroken as i truly wanted this bag."

"I have gotten many compliments. It has helped me get & stay organized."
