Did you ever think about what our best friend, the bag, has to go through? You sit in a restaurant, you drink a cocktail in a bar, you’re relaxing in the parc, sitting on the toilet or you’re dreaming in the cinema. We’re taking good care of ourselves, sitting high and dry. But what about our bag? He’s standing on a dirty floor. They agreed in the US that this is a total waste. Especially in hip & happening New York there’s a new trend: The Clipa!

This is an instant handbag hanger. You put a ring on your bag and at the moment you don’t need your beautiful It-Bag, you just clip it on a table, fence or door. No reason anymore to put your bag in any kind of dirt.
You can find it in all kind of different colours, but there’s also a pink version available, to help the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. A good cause and a welcome trend bonding together!
