My wife hasn’t kept a purse in 20 years. I bought her an expensive purse/wallet/keypurse/coinbag set in the first year of our marriage. It all disappeared quickly except for the very well made leather wallet, which she still uses to this day. She keeps it in her BDU leg pocket at work, or her front pocket in jeans. She doesn’t apply make up, so obviously she doesn’t have to carry it around. All the other assort odd objects I’ve seen in womens’ purses seem to get there because of this “The Law of Empty Space Container Dynamics” or LESCD. Empty spaces attract and retain objects that have little or no purpose. To test this theory yourself, empty a kitchen drawer completely. Find new locations for the objects. In one week, open the drawer; it will be filled with stuff. A purse works the same way.
