The market is flooded with "It" purses. If you're lucky enough to bag one, then after you pay an arm and a leg and enjoy showing it off, what do you do with your treasure when it's time to sit down, take a load off, and put that bag somewhere? Sure, at home the answer is simple; a bureau top, a chair, a velvet pillow. But when you're at an outdoor table with the girls, sitting on a wobbly garden chair, or worse yet, perched on a stool at the bar, what then?
A number of inventive companies are producing purse hooks that solve this problem. The basic idea is that a tab sits on the edge of the table, and a hook extends below to hold your purse out of the way of drinks, drips and drool. The designs range from minimalist to kitschy, from designer to custom and from colorful to downright brilliant. That last distinction belongs to LuxeLink. An ingenious, round, compact design, the substantial piece is made of stainless steel and is currently offered in four different styles: black, brown, swirl, or mirror (that one does double duty for gloss touch-ups). Order one today and you'll be hooked.
