What Are You Stuffing Your Purse with These Days?

by Julia DiNardo

[For shape reference of the medium Purse Stuffer against my handbag]

Have you ever had a bag get totally bent out of shape, or even worse, damaged, by not storing it properly? Because I have a ton of bags crammed into a small space, it’s happened to me, and a few also got damaged from being smashed together in a cardboard box when we last moved. I was extremely upset, as I try to keep my bags in mint condition, but it really was my own doing that it happened. Alleviate the worry and regret with a Purse Stuffer by Keepshape, a brand that offers three sizes of bag stuffers to keep your handbags looking their best, as well as organized on your shelves or in your closet.

[The Purse Stuffer Fits Perfectly Inside]

I recently tested the stuffers (pictured is my new BOOHOO handbag), which range in price from $10.99-$14.99 each, in three color options of pink, black, or leopard. Easy to insert and pull out thanks to the sturdy handles, I found that the bags I tested looked robust, and more aesthetically pleasing when lined up on my handbag shelving unit. Plus, the insert is squishy enough to adapt to the shape of your bag without a game of tug and pull ensuing. These Purse Stuffers make a great gift, for yourself, or any gal, really, who adores their handbag collection as much as you, so you may want to bookmark this post for a gift idea already in the works, come the holidays!
