We see it all too often: handbags and purses that are filthy from being left on dirty floors. Not only do icky floors mar your fancy bag, but its also unhygienic to handle anything straight off the same surface your shoes trod. Enter the Purse Valet. These are really handy little portable hooks that easily slip into [...]
It’s a fact of life: stains happen. Still, finding a stain is on your designer handbag (which might have been an investment you’d hoped to get some mileage out of), can be tough to take sitting down.
