Abstract

A portemonnaie assembly includes a substantially flat housing defined by an integral outer member forming front and rear panels with the rear panel extending to provide a closure flap foldable over the top access to a storage area therein. A unitary partition and privacy member anchored within the storage area permits the placement, storage and removal of personal hygiene articles of minimum dimensions, within the storage area and to one side of the partition section with the privacy section being foldable thereover to provide non-viewable sequestering of these articles. Preferably, these articles include a miniature tampon and feminine napkin together with a pair of disposable panties such that the user will be prepared for unexpected menses. Other, more frequently accessed articles such as cosmetics, are placed adjacent the outer surface of the privacy section and readily accessible without disturbing or exposing the personal hygiene articles. The supple composition of the partition and privacy member and its textured or brushed surface insures its conformance to the contained personal hygiene articles therebeneath while its positive retention in the privacy mode is maintained as its peripheral edges engage a similarly textured lining provided upon the inner surface of the housing. Still another storage area is defined between the partition section and front panel of the housing and serves to receive flat articles such as currency, licenses and credit cards.
