Abstract: A holder for supporting a bag having handles in an open position is disclosed. The holder includes a mounting member to removably mount the holder to a support structure, and a pair of support arms which interlock with the handles of the bag during use. The support arms extend from the mounting member, include a pair of notches on an upper edge thereof, and a pair of cutout portions on the bottom coners of each support arm. In use, the handles of the bag are disposed from an inner surface of an adjacent support arm, outwardly through the upper notches, extend downwardly over an outer surface of either arm, and are secured within the lower corner cutout portions of each arm. The interlocking of the handles and the arms allows the bag to maintain an open position, while providing sufficient support for items placed within the bag.
