Pimp My Purse

Every woman who's spent a small fortune on one of those designer handbags knows the dilemma of where to put their pricey pouch when in a restaurant. You don't want to put it on a filthy floor, and not all chairs make it easy to drape your strap over the back. If this sounds familiar, the crazy kids over at Luxe Link have got your bag!
Luxe Link
Created by a couple of clever NYU students, the small chrome piece allows you to attach your handbag to the edge of just about any table. About the size of a silver dollar, or one of Beyonce's hoop earrings, the Luxe Link has already won over celebrity fans like Tori Spelling and Lindsay Lohan.

Definitely a must-have for the girl who has everything ... in her purse!

It wasn't created by students from NYU--these have been around for ages. My great-aunt had one from 60 years ago.

I completely agree with the above.....

This stupid thing has been around forever...Since when does TMZ do product drops on garbage like this? Do your homework - they didn't invent the item. You should stick to pictures of Paris Hilton's wonkey eye and stories about Nicole Richie's weight.

Brilliant idea... It would be nice to feel your purse was at least semi safe. I'm going to have to look for one of these!

my opinion:  1807 days ago

The one I had years ago did not have the decorative part on the top. TMZ, don't be so awestruck with recycled ideas. Anyone carrying expensive bags 20+ years ago had one.

My two cents:  1807 days ago

I've totally seen hooks like this around before, but not one that can wrap around compact and attaches to the bag. I checked out their website. Any ones out there are bulky mammouths. Awesome design.
