Gearing Up For Summer #28: Clipa Purse Hanger Review and Giveaway



Summer is when you'll find our family on the go most of the time. The weather is beautiful, and we like to spend as much time outdoors as possible. With two kids and all the gear we find ourselves taking every time we leave the house, our hands are usually full. That's why I was very happy when introduced to the Clipa purse hanger from Purse Bling, a great product for people who often have their hands full and don't like germs on their purse and/or diaper bag.

Holding up to 45 lbs, the Clipa Purse Hanger is strong enough to hold both purses and diaper bags! It's made to easily stay on the strap of your bag when not in use so it can easily be found when needed. Whether in a public restroom, at the grocery store, or sitting down to eat at a restaurant...the Clipa is made with the person who is on the go in mind.

Features/Benefits:
  • Stays right on the handbag strap for instant access
  • No set-up required
  • Classic, timeless modern design
  • Durable, heavy duty construction - holds up to 45 lbs
  • Non-slip bases on both clip pads
  • Can be worn as a bracelet or bangle
  • Made in the USA
I was thrilled when asked if I'd like to review the Clipa. Purse Bling sent me a Clipa in Brushed Silver.
When it arrived, I was very impressed with the way it was packaged. I am the type of person who really appreciates a company that takes the time to package products nicely in a way perfect for gift giving.

When I took the Clipa out the package, I really appreciated the quality as well as the attractive appearance. This is definitely something I'm proud to carry around with me. The fact that it slides right on to the strap of my purse or diaper bag when I'm not using it, not only adds a little style, but it also makes it super easy to find!



Since receiving the Clipa, I've been able to use it several times already. Whether we're out to eat, in the movie theater, or somewhere else...it has come in very handy in helping keep my purse and diaper bag clean. I have found it to be very easy to use too! I really like the non-slip bases on both clip pads. This makes it possible to hook it on either end which means less time fussing with clipping it on the table, counter, etc. It also ensures that my purse will stay in place.

I used to leave my purse sitting in all sorts of germy places like floors...only to bring it home and set it on my kitchen counter without even thinking about it. After having children, I've become much more aware of germs and am adamant about keeping surfaces in my home as clean as possible. This has been the perfect solution, because not only is it keeping the bottom of my purse cleaner when I'm out and about...but I can easily hang it from the counter or table at home without having to set it on anything.

I am very happy with the quality, style and functionality of the Clipa. It's definitely a must-have item for busy moms who have their hands full and are wanting to keep germs off their purses and diaper bags.
