I have a tote handbag (large) which I like to use everyday. My children gave me a lovely Dooney Bourke handbag that I like to use when I dress up. The Donney Bourke bag has a zipper down the middle, and is very narrow, while the tote is one big space.
Does anyone have an idea of a purse organizer that would work for me to transfer "essential" items between these two purses and do it quickly? Any recommendations for ready-made ones that are already out there? Or for a pattern for something simple to make?

You might use a zippered makeup bag to hold your essentials. Sometimes you can get them free with certain cosmetic purchases, or you could also watch garage sales or thrift stores.
In the archives, I posted a pic of one I made. I used fairly heavy material but the I also used heavy interfacing. They work great but one thing I would suggest is that you make one out of a contrasting fabric to your lining because otherwise you cannot see where you are putting things.
Mische purses has an insert that you just transfer from purse to purse. I don't know what size purses it requires but they have some fairly big purses & it trfs from each one so:

The link above was temp. unavailable when I went there but you may have luck.
Another purse insert is sold on the Kim Komando store online for $9.95:
