Abstract: A garment bag holder for supporting a garment bag which includes a support member formed of a plate of structural material dimensioned to extend vertically from the palm to the armpit of the user. The support member has an integral hand grip at its lower end rounded to provide a comfortable fit in the closed palm and having a width dimension of approximately palm width. The upper end of the supporting member is formed to provide a comfortable fit in the armpit. A hook receiver at the upper end of the supporting member receives the hook, or hooks, at the top of the garment bag so that the bag with its contents, when suspended on the supporting member, is clamped between the supporting member and the body of the user, the resulting friction against the wall of the garment bag tending to avoid any tendency for the supporting member to topple either forwardly or rearwardly from its position under the arm of the user.
