I have never used a purse hook so I wasn't sure what to expect. Based on the price and the reviews, I figured I'd give these a try. The colors are rich and the hooks are hefty but fold up nicely into a purse pocket. I carry large bags and these hold them perfectly. These are perfect as a stocking stuffer too! Again, 5 for the price can't be beat when some seller for $5-20 a piece!
