Refer to the diagram below for length and width measurements.

To Measure your bag for a base shaper:

1. Using a tape measure, measure the width and depth of the bottom of the bag (from the outside).
2. Subtract a 1/4 inch from the width and depth measurements.
3. Cut out a piece of cardboard using these measurements
4. Place the cardboard into the bottom of your handbag.
5. If the cardboard is too large, trim 1/8 inch from width or depth as needed until it fits.
6. Use the final dimensions of your cardboard sample when ordering a base shaper.

To Measure for a purse organizer

1. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the width, depth, and height of the bag.
2. If the bag is not rectangular please measure both the shortest distance and the longest distance (i.e. if a bag is 12” long at the base, but 17” across at the top please let us know that). For the height always provide the shortest height taking into consideration snaps, zippers, etc.

Please use these dimensions (Width, Depth, and Height as shown above) when requesting information on the best products for your bag.

FAQ

Q: If I get an organizer, do I also need a base shaper?
A: Technically, no one ever NEEDS a base shaper – it’s largely a matter of taste. If you like a little sag then the organizer is likely to be enough unless you put very heavy items in your bag. If you want the bottom of your bag to be perfectly flat then, yes, you probably would like to have a base shaper. If you’re not sure you can always get the organizer first, and if feel your bag still sags too much then you can always come back to us for the base shaper (unless you’re an international customer where shipping costs are too high to make this practical).

Please know that we will make the best recommendations based on other customer’s feedback, if any, and the dimensions you provide. Fit is subjective, and it’s difficult to predict how fit will be based on measurements alone. Therefore, any suggestions are just that, fit is never guaranteed and all returns will be subject to our 15% handling fee. We may not suggest every single organizer that can fit your bag. Colors can bleed, although it’s rare, it has happened. We are not responsible for color bleed so please choose your color carefully.

The use of base shapers is at your own risk. We are not responsible for wear or color bleed that can occur.
