Shoulder Bags with Interior Pockets

I have a shoulder bag (one of the many bags I have, Brock says I have a bit of a fetish for bags, which is probably true), partly because I am always seeking the perfect bag.

I have one that is made from micro fibre, and is designed to slip over one shoulder. One of those ones that reminds me of eighties asymmetrical haircuts...anyway. I love the bag because the black goes with everything and doesn't look so dirty (of course I manage to rub against anything white, how, I'm not so sure) as it probably is (but we can't see). The beautiful and smart thing is that the lining inside is a light grey colour. The emphasis is on light, because this helps me to find things, rather than the typical black hole offered by most bags (again, probably so as not to be able to see how dirty the bag actually is). So, I love light linings for bags.

The problem with this bag is the typical way I use it is to slide the bag to the front when I want to find something in it. As a woman, with long hair and often sun glasses on my head, it is awkward to pull it over my head all the time, so I prefer to slide it under my arm and look for stuff. The problem is that all the pockets inside (and lots of pockets is good for organizing, though mesh would be good so I could see what's where easier) are oriented top to bottom. So if you picture the bag as a isosceles triangle, standing on it's base, the pockets open to the top. This makes sense if the bag is standing on its base, however, if you pull it around like I do, this means the pockets are sideways. I can't see into them, and I need some kind of double joints to reach into the pockets easily.

What I propose is for the pockets to be mesh, and oriented sideways so that you can access them from on your body, which wouldn't cause problems if the bag was right-side-up either. This would be especially helpful as I use one of the pockets for change.

I have to figure out how to put photos in this blog next...
