BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pillow. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pillow that can be used to stuff a handbag, purse, tote, or any other carrying bag.

Handbags are a large part of fashion for women. Handbags and other carrying devices are typically made of leather, man made leather, and other materials that can crease when stored. Handbags are usually bought with tissue paper stuffed inside to help keep the shape. Typically without having these handbags stuffed with tissue paper the material in which they are made can bend, crease, and permanently wrinkle. This is even more likely to happen when they are stored in large containers with other handbags or with other handbags stored on top of them.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an article for supporting the structure of a handbag, purse, tote and similar carrying bags when they are not being used. The pillow may be used by placing it inside of a handbag to support in when it is not being used and is empty of any articles.

The present invention reflects the basis of a pillow structure comprised of a fill material or foam encased in fabric having a top surface, a bottom surface, a left side, a right side, an upper end, and a lower end. A foam or fill material is positioned in between the top and bottom surface, in between the left and right side, and in between the upper and lower end and a firmness of less than or more than the firmness of the handbag, tote, or other carrying bag.

The pillow body may be constructed in different ways, sizes and shapes. The pillow body may be constructed with a fill material encased in a fabric. The pillow body may be constructed with foam encased in fabric. The pillow body may be constructed with an inflatable bladder encased in a fabric. The pillow may be square, rectangle, sphere, or any other shape to fit various handbags. The pillow may have equal sides or unequal sides. The pillow may be a custom fit for specific handbags, purses, totes, or other carry bags or manipulated to fit various handbags, totes, or other carrying bags.

The handbag stuffer may be adapted to handbags of various designs, totes, or other carrying bags.
