stylehacker: the handbag/purse hook

this would totally come in handy for travel too – and it works as an insta-hook to securely hang your handbag in the worst place to be without a handbag hook: public restroom stalls.

there are many versions of this (often referred to as 'purse hooks'). unfortunately the majority seems to be of the weirdly bedazzled/tacky/cheap-looking variety.

i was so happy when i found mine that i promptly bought some for friends (this actually might be the perfect little gift for girlfriends and moms!). it's inexpensive, metal, securely hinged, sleek, well constructed, and definitely holds a substantially heavy bag securely (the little gel pads at the hook ends keep things stable and don't scratch surfaces).

what do you think? do you run into this issue?
