Abstract: A holder for a personal accessory such as a purse, handbag or the like is specially adapted for suspension between the seatbacks of a vehicle having individual (or split) seats. A bag-type body, open on a generally upper edge, is supported by two straps configured for adjustable attachment to the head restraint support posts of the opposing seats of a vehicle. In another embodiment, adapter loops are provided for securing the suspension straps to the headrests of a vehicle whose seatbacks have an integral headrest (or head restraint). The adapter loops adjustably fit around the base of the head restraint and may include a D-ring or the like for convenient attachment of the suspension straps. In certain embodiments, one or more pockets may be provided on an outer surface of the holder for smaller personal accessories such as mobile telephones, music players and the like.
