If you regularly rotate purses and are looking for a more efficient way to switch from bag to bag, you need a purse bowl. No, we’re not talking about a bowl for your purses, or using a bowl as a purse (though that would be interesting). We’re talking about a bowl designed to hold all…
What’s a Purse Bowl?
A purse bowl is similar to that catchall dish in your entryway. Only, instead of filling it with keys, coins, and whatever other bits and bobs you find strewn about your space, you fill it with the contents of your purse. This way, you can easily swap out your handbags, crossbodies, and belt bags, depending on the day (and your outfit, of course).
This idea comes from TikTok creator @cocotakes, whose now-viral video explains what a purse bowl is and how to incorporate this organization hack into your daily routine. “I’m always changing my bags, so what I do is I will drop everything [in my bag] at the end of the day in this bowl,” she explains in her video. This way, when she refills her bag the next day, all of her essentials are in one place, making the switch easy.
The organization-meets-style hack also helps you be more intentional about putting yesterday’s purse back where it belongs. We don’t know about your habits, but whenever we switch bags in a hurry, our previous purse often ends up on an entryway hook. After several switches, our front door area ends up super cluttered, while our designated closet storage for bags remains noticeably empty.
