Alessi Minou Purse Hook
Mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel purse hook in a cat-inspired form by Frédéric Gooris
The Alessi Minou Purse Hook gives your bag a dedicated place at the table without putting it on the floor. Designed by Frédéric Gooris, the mirror-polished stainless steel form resembles a cat, with its long tail extending into the hook that supports your bag from the edge of a table.

A Cat with a Practical Tail
Frédéric Gooris designed Minou around a simple visual idea: the cat's body rests at the table edge while its long curved tail becomes the actual purse hook. The result gives the function an immediate, recognizable character without adding unnecessary parts.
The mirror-polished stainless steel construction also gives Minou enough weight and durability to feel like a proper accessory rather than a disposable travel gadget.

From Our Founder
"Minou is a very small object that solves a genuinely useful problem. The cat form gives it personality, but the real reason to keep it in your bag is that it gives your purse a clean, convenient place at the table."
