Purse holders are pretty neat, especially if you’re kind of, like, OCD about where your purse goes when you’re out and about.
I hate when my purse touches the floor in a restaurant (or, god forbid, a bathroom), and I always make sure that wherever it is, it’s within my line of sight. I’m not about to get my purse stolen (knocks on wood) while eating fro-yo, ya know? That would ruin an otherwise awesome thing.
So why did I wait so long to get a purse holder?
Maybe I was waiting for the right one to come along…
Cheers! This pink champagne one definitely suits my style. 🙂
It’s by Chris’s Stuff, $9.95, and it’s also available in red, gold and white.
It comes with a black velvet carrying pouch, too.
I WANT one! I’ve never seen one in person to buy it. Adding that to my wish list. I’m SO picky about where I place my purse when I’m out & about.
I’ve always thought about getting one of these but I’m not sure I’d remember to use it.
What a great idea! I’m wondering, however, if it would fit in my purse so I can take it with me? If it’s small enough, it would be a great little gift
I need this, Karen!!!
I need to get one of these because I’m the same way. I never put my purse on the floor not even when I’m at home. If I can’t hang it on the chair I’m sitting in I’ll just hold it in my lap lol. This is so much better though!
That is so pretty! I also never put my purse on the floor. Ever. I hate it when I give my bag to my fiance to put it next to him on the seat at a restaurant for example and he just puts it under the table. I’m like ‘AAAAH do NOT do that! Germs! On my fancy purse!’ and then he looks at me like I’m crazy…
I love these purse holders and have several I purchased off Amazon. They’re circular in shape, have beautiful floral designs over mother-of-pearl, and the hook is articulated so that it wraps around the disk for flat, easy storage in a purse. This was a hugely popular item several years back and then just sort of died out. I’m not sure why because it is an excellent idea. They come in so many different designs, shapes, materials, and, of course, price points.
Hi Allison,
The ones I have fold up into a round, flat disk about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and less than 1/4 inch in thickness. The most important thing is the strength. There are some real cheap-o ones that can’t support much weight, but good ones can easily handle a fully loaded purse. There are larger novelty shapes to be sure, but most are pretty small.
I never used one of these until I friended this Russian woman. She said it’s extremely bad juju to put your bag on the floor or the ground. In fact, if I ever put my purse down when she is around, she immediately picks it up and holds it until I take it back from her. She got me started on a little mini collection of these gadgets.
After my stroke, I used one of these to keep my cane handy and off the floor. Better than being the person who is guilty of the jarring THWAP when it inevitably gets knocked over. 🙂
Super cute! I have a kitty shaped one I got off of Amazon 🙂
This is very cute. I’m horrible about where I put my poor purse which is why I try to never carry one. If I can just ask the Hubs to put my driver’s license in his wallet and call it a day, I’m much happier. 🙂
