Well done - I am glad to learn about these and I know I've always been glad when counters in cafes have hooks installed.

Just ordered a hematite clipa and will see how it works! Bet it could be useful for shopping bags at the mall also.
 
The Clipas are great, I hang it on the outside of the bag so it's handy when I need it.
That Fumi clip looks like it would work well.

BTW, if you are caught in a restroom without a hook to hang your bag, grab a few paper towels to put on the floor then place your bag on the towels (better than hanging it around your neck LOL)
 
I only have the table kind, it is Hello Kitty with rhinestones, my DH got it for me for Christmas gift, love it. But the other kind looks like something I'll have to get. I NEVER set my bag on the floor or counter in a restroom. I'll look those up. Thanks for the info.
 
I do not. I've considered, but I don't.

My bf KNOWS my bag gets a seat whenever we go out to eat. So no tables fit for JUST two.

Same with the movies. Bag gets seated in the seat next to me.

This happens anywhere that involves sitting.

Restrooms, I try to avoid, but if I've gotta go, he's holding the bag. He used to try to put it down wherever he could if the bag wasn't collected from him within 1 minute, even if that means the floor. He stopped.
 
I've never seen the Clipa before, but it looks like a great idea. I never put my bag on the floor, I always put it on my lap. The Clipa would be a great idea for my large bag--I don't actually carry anything heavy in it, but it's bulky.

When I am on the train I like keeping my hands free for reading or texting, etc. so it is convenient to hang my bag directly in front of me.

Last night we went to see a play and there were no empty seats to set my bag so I hung it from the seat in front of me and was able to relax and enjoy the show.

When I use the seat in front of me I always hang it near the end and in no way touching or bothering the person in that seat. They don't even know it's there!
 
We need a list of purse sins. I think that would be at the top or very close. Another: dirty interiors. Ewww!

I like to rehab vintage bags and I often wonder why someone would have treated a beautiful, expensive bag so badly.

And I think that throwing pens and pencils and markers and make-up into your bag so that they have a good chance of opening up and ruining the interior is a big sin!

When I rehab older bags I always find that ink marks are the worst thing to try and eliminate!
 
Hey Coachies! Just curious if any of you use a purse hook? I never thought one could hold my heavy load but on a whim (thanks to Living Social), I just bought 3 FUMI hooks that can also be worn as a bracelet. Per the little bit of research I did, they hold up to 25 pounds. Anyway, just thought I would get opinions from the experts. Share what you use!

OP, please show us pics of your Fumi hooks when you receive them; I have never seen that brand before but they look very attractive!
 
My friends bought me a very pretty lady bug purse hook and when I use a short handled bag and there is no extra chair then I use the hook. One day I used it on my Marc Jacobs shoulder bag. Of course the bag was on the floor because of the strap but I thought what the heck at least it is within my sight. For the first time in my life the waitress accidently dumped my entire breakfast on the floor and everything landed face down and I swear those :p eggs were less than an inch from my bag when they came to rest. I grabbed the bag and it was still clean and the mess was picked up right away. I did not get mad at the waitress because it was an accident but I thought, boy, the first time I have a bag on the floor this happens. For the rest of the meal my bag was in my lap.:p
