Very Intelligente Pocket (VIP) by Tintamar

As a woman, it's a bitch to keep changing handbags because of the all the stuff we need to transfer i.e purse, keys, coins, phone, cards, sunglasses, and all sorts of knick knacks we tend to lug around.

I read about the Very Intelligente Pocket (VIP) by Tintamar a few years ago, but only managed to find it on the net a few months ago. It's basically a washable pouch or handbag liner which you use to put all your stuff in. If you change handbags just grab the pouch and place it in the handbag you want to use.

I manage to fit in my purse, phone, pen, coins, note pad and card wallet, with space to spare. The VIP comes in three sizes, the VIP classic, which is suitable for small handbags,the business pocket, which is slightly bigger, suitable for the corporate woman who needs space for her Blackberry, PDA, make-up etc and also more useful with bigger handbags which are all the rage now. They also have a sun/baby pocket which can be used for totes or baby changing bags as it has more and larger pockets and a matching little coin purse as well.

Fortunately for me, I was able to order it through the internet from the UK. They sell it in Malaysia at the Gardens, Mid Valley at a shop called M. However it's bloody expensive. The classic pocket goes for RM285 here, whereas you can get it around a hundred ringgit cheaper if you order online or buy it overseas.

It's made changing handbags a whole lot easier and keeps my handbags cleaner as well, a nice bonus.
