AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]Each of the sidewalls has one half of a releasable fastener. The releasable fasteners may include, but are not limited to, hook and loop fasteners, snap fasteners, magnetic fasteners, and zippers. The releasable fasteners allow the user to interconnect a variety of the modular containers together to form the purse organizer having a variety of configurations. The purse organizer may also be configured by starting with a basic core of modular containers to which additional auxiliary modular containers could be added. In addition, a fastener located on the back wall of each modular container could be used to attach smaller modular containers for holding change, paperclips, and other similar items. Because the purse organizer can be configured in a number of ways by means of the interconnection of the modular containers, the resulting purse organizer can be configured with exterior dimensions for easy insertion and removal from a variety of purses.

[0010]In one alteration of the purse organizer, a handle, having compatible fasteners to the fasteners used on the modular containers, can be attached to one or more of the modular containers to assist in the removal of the purse organizer from the purse.
