Abstract: Handbag displays which advantageously increase the efficiency of existing displays by reducing the portion of a display taken up by a handbag strap with a novel handbag display device. A handbag display comprises a handbag having a strap, a support member over which a strap may be hung, and a display device which can be placed on the handbag strap for reducing the distance between the support member and the compartment portion of the handbag and the strap support. When the display device is positioned on a strap, the display device has the effect of reducing the length of the strap and therefore reducing the display area consumed by a handbag.
