which multitudes across the globe find hard to resist

Of course, many select more than one handbag hook because they like to match the handbag hanger to a particular outfit or occasion. A crystal hook can be very chic and perfect for a night out on the town while a basic but lovely silver handbag book is suited to both relaxed or dressy evenings as well as day time lunches.

If you enjoy going to fancy parties as much as you like eating at casual diners, it makes sense to select more than one hook. Durable, inexpensive, high quality, they are not only easily affordable but very practical. Compact hooks have the additional benefit of opening to reveal a mirror, great for a quick, but discrete, check of your appearance as you go through the day and into evening.

A handbag hanger is also likely to have people stopping to talk to you and ask where they can find one. After all, they are the latest fashion accessory.

But you're likely to have different styles than can be found in traditional or staid retail stores. Your handbag hook can be far more tasteful than that and stand out from the crowd, reflecting your unique personality.

If you travel a lot or don't have much handbag space, especially in clutch or small evening bags, a foldable handbag hook can be compact and fold up so that it needs very little room. Simply place it in your Hermes Birkinbag or clutch and you are ready to go.

When traveling, you know packing space is at a premium. But a handbag hanger is a traveller's delight and definitely comes in handy in hotel and business meeting rooms. It isn't an uncommon sight to see these used at desks, whether in offices or at conference tables during business.
