Keep Germs Off Your Purse: Clipa Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

Tweet

Did you know the bottom of your purse may be one of the dirtiest things you own? Think about it. Women take their purses almost every where they go. That means they also set them down in a lot of those places. In 2006, a Fox affiliate in Cleveland found  traces of E. Coli on one in four women's purses.Yuck! I always hated the thought of setting my purse down anywhere. Whenever I use a public restroom, I make sure to hang my purse on the hook on the back of the door.

Bathrooms are not the only places purses can pick up E. Coli. Often, setting a purse on the same counter we prepare our food can cause germs to transfer to our purse. It's easy to leave purses on counter tops and floors without even thinking about how that very act could make us sick.

I set my purse on the floor at work next to my computer area almost every day. I was thrilled to find the Clipa Handbag Hanger. This simple, yet elegant clip, allowed me to lift my handbag off the ground by attaching the clip to my purse and hanging it right from the desk. The Clipa Handbag Hanger was really easy to learn to use. Though instructions were supplied with the clip, it is easy to figure out how to use it without reading them. I bumped into my purse with my chair and I was pleasantly surprised that it stayed in place with the Clipa. One of the best things about the clip is that it can hold up to 45 pounds, making it the world's strongest purse hanger, according to Clipa. It feels strong and durable and easily held my handbag in place.

From now on, I'm leaving my Clipa attached to my purse. That way I won't forget it. Next time I go to the movies, I don't have to leave my purse on my lap. I can hang it from my cup holder and not worry about all of the sticky soda on the floor getting all over my purse.

While the Clipa Hanger can be ordered in 18 finishes to match purse hardware, mine was nice contrast. The Clipa can also be worn as a bracelet. I wear silver jewelry more than any other color, so the polished silver color worked well for me. I have to admit, I would rather leave mine clipped to my purse than wear it as a bracelet. However, if I had a Custom Crystal Clipa I might feel differently. The custom Clipa is set with six Swarovski Crystals in a nice selection of colors you choose.

The hinge on the Clipa is well made. I truly believe it will last the ten years the company claims. It's definitely the kind of built to last product I expect to see for made in the U.S.A.

The Clipa Handbag Hangar comes in a gift box with a mini brochure inside. It would make a great gift. I highly recommend Clipa for those worried about germs on their handbags from setting it on the floor.
