Let’s face it: women love handbags. We own lots of them — probably more than we’ll admit and admittedly more than we need. So imagine you’re looking cute and ready to hit the town, your favorite new bag in tow. You reach your destination and what's the first thing you do? Search in vain for a convenient place to put your bag!

Your options: you could put it on the floor, where it will get dirty or stepped-on; you could hold it in your lap, which is awkward and uncomfortable; or you could hang it on your chair, where it could fall off or even get stolen. Doesn’t your bag deserve better?!

Enter the Purse Angel, the ingenious accessory that solves all your problems. At 3.5 inches and 1.3 ounces, it fits into any purse, is stylish enough to catch everyone's eye, and sturdy enough to support the heaviest of totes (up to 30 lbs). The Purse Angel is the one thing you don’t want to leave the house without.

President and co-founder of Purse Angels LLC Stefanie Lindskog is no stranger to restaurants or handbags, and it was, among other things, her love for both of these that inspired her to start the company. While on a trip with her mom, she saw a vintage purse hook from the 1930s at a restaurant and the idea for Purse Angels was born. Stefanie holds a BA in linguistics from Yale University and has a background in publishing and fashion, having worked at Calvin Klein and Diane von Furstenberg in New York. When she’s not reading books or restaurant reviews, she can probably be found purse shopping in Manhattan.
