5 Ways to Organize Your Tote Bag Like a Pro

If your tote bag feels more like a black hole than a helpful companion, it’s time for a makeover. From messy makeup to tangled cords, disorganization can slow you down. At OTG|247, we believe your bag should work for you. Here are five pro tips to organize your tote bag efficiently—using our water-resistant bags designed for every part of your day.

1. Use a Bag-Within-a-Bag System

Searching for keys at the bottom of your tote? Not anymore. Use smaller bags, like the OTG|247 #2, #5, and #9, to create compartments inside your tote. This helps keep everything in its place—from lip balm to tech accessories—and makes bag-switching effortless.

Shop tip: Our bestselling #5 Bag is perfect for keeping everyday must-haves neat and easy to grab.

2. Organize by Category

Create zones inside your tote—tech, beauty, snacks, hygiene—and assign a separate OTG bag to each. This simple habit saves time and keeps your tote clutter-free, no matter how busy your schedule gets.

3. Choose Clear, Water-Resistant Bags

Durable and stylish, our clear, water-resistant bags let you see what’s inside at a glance. They're great for moms, travelers, teachers, and anyone who wants to stay prepared without the mess.

4. Declutter Weekly

Less is more when it comes to tote bag organization. Remove unnecessary items, empty old receipts, and refill your go-to essentials weekly. You’ll feel instantly more in control.

5. Add a Personal Touch

Customize your bags with your initials, sorority letters, or go bold with your favorite colors. Personalization makes your tote feel unique—and makes it even more fun to stay organized.

Ready to Organize Like a Pro?

Level up your tote with our full line of water-resistant, customizable bags. They're chic, practical, and built for women on the move.

New Year Discipline, HELLO 2020 VISION!

New Year Discipline, HELLO 2020 VISION!

NEW YEAR, NEW ORGANIZED YOU! Each year, we set aside goals to complete and hope we hit the mark. Whether your goal is health and fitness-related or personal improvement, you’ve got it. It’s time to toss out your old habits and start some better routines. In 2020, we’re taking control of our lives by simplifying life, becoming more disciplined by creating new systems. You can’t do it alone so let OTG|247 help. Implement Healthy Eating Habits When you’re a working woman, it’s easy to get so caught up in the business that you forget to feed yourself. That usually results in a trip to the vending machine or worse— skipping a meal entirely. Don’t let your belly suffer. Pack added lunches and snacks and keep them in your desk with #7 bag. Whether it’s a hot soup or a cold sandwich and fruit, this is the bag you need. The Foodie is insulated to keep your food at the proper temperature. More importantly, it’s OTG|247 so it’s sure to be more stylish than a lunch sack. The removable strap can be added to turn it into a crossbody so if you’re not spending your day at the desk but rather on the move, you can take your snacks too. Become a Fitness Guru Planning to hit the gym is always great until you realize that you have to drive all the way home to get ready. Not fun! Save time by snagging a #10 bag or two. It’s perfect to keep in the car because it can hold fitness accessories as well as gym clothes. No more stopping at the house to change and end up getting sidetracked from the gym. You can even toss your gym clothes back inside post work out.  The waterproof lining makes for easy cleaning and doesn’t hold a smell like traditional gym bags. Not that’s a power move! Start A Vlog If you’re looking to start vlogging, then a #9 bag is a  must for you. The Techie will fit your laptop, camera, tripod, and gimbal. The removable strap makes lugging it all a breeze. You never know when you’ll need to whip out your camera and although it might fit in a standard purse, there is no way your equipment will too. While you could opt for a backpack, they are bulky and far from the OTG|247 level of style. More importantly, the bag is waterproof. If coffee spills or you get caught in a rainstorm, your pricey items are safe. Get to an umbrella, point, and film the fiasco for your fans to see. XOXO {O}verly {O}rganized Amie
