I'm a big fan of interior pockets so that I can reach into the purse and easily find exactly what I'm looking for. My current travel purse has a big side pocket where I can stash an oversized pocketbook, two smaller pockets (I use one for smartphone and the other for lip gloss or passport depending on what I'm doing) and then an additional zippered pocket to stash some feminine needs. This still leaves me with a big main compartment that I can fit a DSL camera and a small raincoat in. I think for my next purse, I'll look into some of the baggelinis for the nifty interior dividers.
