Security Bagmate:  Attach a second* key-chain to the D-ring if you're worried about pick-pockets. Attach it to your purse, perhaps via a zipper tab, or by punching a hole in an old plastic card.

(*Your keys should be attached to the first one)

Bagmate for reading glasses: do you frequently need your reading glasses but don't want to keep them around your neck? Keep one compartment for your specs. You'll be able to locate your glasses, and pop them back, quickly & easily.
