These are a really nice items to own if you would prefer to keep your purse close to you, but not on your lap.

I hate putting my purse on the floor anywhere, much less in a restaurant, where either someone (or even me) can trip over it because it is in the way sitting on the floor.

The purse hook folds small enough to put anywhere in your bag and fits just about every table or bar I have tried. It comes in its own little drawstring carrying case.

Even in a ladies room, where many times the door hooks are missing, these work great.

I never thought I needed a hook like this, but I have given some to several of my friends and they were so pleased that I would not hesitate to buy more for gifts.  This is a definite keeper.
