What to do with a handbag?

Where do you put your handbag in a restaurant?

It would be perfect when you brought your own handbag hook along. They are available on the Internet or from handbag retailers. Discerning restaurants may have a hook attached to the armrest of the chair or the waiter will bring a small stool just for the handbag.

But if both are not available? It is usually not a good idea to hang the bag over the back of the chair and it also interferes with service personnel. It is also a temptation for thieves. Only one solution is left: during the day, take a large stable bag with a rigid bottom and place it between your feet under the table. In the evening, use a small flat clutch bag that can be placed on your lap under the napkin. But do not forget it when getting up.
