Hello. everyone I am trying to design my own adaptive wallet, purse organizer etc.

[danacetz]

This will be designed with easy closure and id card area a little bigger and a zipper opening so we can just drop our bus pass or ID in there. Trying to come up with ideas but need your help. So far I thought of extra long zipper pulls or a zipper pull that is shaped like the top part of a mitten so we can use the the tips of our flat hand. Or same concepts with miten tips but with magnetic snap close. Or a accordion style wallet that money is separated according to bill amounts. Also the coin purse being very large so that one can just shove change and receipts in it and later organize in wallet.

Anyone with helpful ideas, please?

I also forgot that this would include a zippered pouch that would be like a wet bag for all our unexpected surprises that our body likes to throw at us. Eventually, I want to make it so that it can be an organizer type insert that one can take out and put into a mathing purse for their outfit.

Yes, but for me the most important is that it should be light. I haven't found the perfect purse and I have had to give up the hygine part as it was making it too heavy. But ordered sections are important too. I am not sure about zips, sometimes necessary but fiddly and difficult to hold on to. And the handles need to be long enough to go over my head as I can't carry things in my hands: it stops the circulation.

Yes I was thinking of it being cross body with a padded shoulder pas. I also was thinking of putting the little mini clips on the plastic cards and making the card slot 1/8th bigger so its not so difficult to get out . One can have an easier time grasping the handles of the clip to slide it thru debit machine at store. I think the magnetic snap with a hidden hand pock (it will look like part of the center design embellishment) above it so one can slide there hand in and lift and open pocket book.

Be careful with magnetic anything - many of your cards that have the mag stripe on the back, can be affected badly with magnets. I learned this a loooooong time ago with a handbag, when I got stuck at an airport, with no money, and no way to pay for anything, as my card was faulty due to being located near my magnetic clasp on my handbag.

Just my 2pend worth. Sorry it's not overly positive - but keep up the good work, there are plenty of us out there could do with something like this !

Thanks thats a good tip. I got it all designed out and I cant wait to make a prototype, It going to take a while as I have to practice sewing the sections. I making it with retractable pulleys.One for the phone, one for the gloves and one for the keys. I have it so people do not have to grasp with hidden mitten type pockets so one can slid hand in completely flat (like most of us get when completely numb) and lift up and pocket will open. I designed a mitten type cell phone sleeve that works because the cell phone is strapped in on the underside and faced down. All one has to do is slid hand flat and palm down lift and bend elbow and hand naturally turns with the phone to your ear. Right now the purse is kind of a big over sized wallet but I think its worth it to move a little bit faster at the grocery line when everyone is staring at you
