Abstract
A handbag holder folds into a compact form smooth and free of surface projections. A flat region is provided for messages. Folding support and hook arms are fitted snugly with light friction so as not to come open unless intended. Ears on the arms are flush with the body when closed, and may be grasped for opening. The support arm is fixed with a swivel top having a rubber friction foot for resting on a table, and the hook arm is grooved to receive the strap of the handbag. The support arm is movable relative to the swivel top so as to permit the handbag holder to be used on tables with a thick ledge or top.
