I have a purse hook where the hook part wraps aroung the base and the whole thing looks like a circle. I got it from Blue Bee about 1 1/2 yrs ago and I don't think they have it anymore but someone on this forum showed something exactly like it. If you search the threads, you will find it. What I like about it is that it goes in your any size purse because it is so small (yet mighty - I've hung my bag and a friend's bag on it or my bag and an umbrella on it at one time). Good luck in your search.
This sounds interesting! So none of the 4 abovementioned purse hooks were the one that you received? I think I'd like this, but I don't want one that's heavy, or flimsy. The hook you have sounds just about perfect. Could you check and see if there a name anywhere on your hook?
