Off the floor fashion handbag

Abstract

An off the floor fashion handbag utilizes a suspension pocket integrated into an upper portion of a bag sidewall and containing a relatively thin, but high powered attracter (such as a magnet) that has sufficient attractive force to hold the off the floor fashion handbag and its contents tightly against an attachment surface that attracts a magnet so that the bag is suspended therefrom. The high powered attracter can be a strong magnet made from neodymium or any similar material that can make a strong, relatively permanent magnet. The suspension pocket can be inaccessible by being built into the handbag sidewall permanently; for example, it can be located between an outer layer and an inner liner of the fashion handbag. In an alternate embodiment, the suspension pocket can be user-accessible so that the owner can remove and/or replace the high powered attracter as needed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An off the floor fashion handbag, comprising:
 a handbag outer material defining an exterior wall of the handbag and having an external surface covering;   a handbag inner lining attached in at least one location to the exterior wall;   a suspension pocket located between the inner lining and the exterior wall and forming an interior space therebetween;   the suspension pocket configured to hold therein a high powered attracter; and   the high powered attracter comprising a high strength magnet placed within the suspension pocket and configured such that the off the floor fashion handbag is suspended by placing the suspension pocket in proximity to an attachment surface thereby causing the high powered attracter within the suspension pocket to be attracted to the attachment surface, thereby sandwiching the outer material between the high powered attracter and the attachment surface and suspending the off the floor fashion handbag thereby so that the handbag does not rest on a bottom portion of the off the floor fashion handbag, but instead is suspended from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         2 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 1  wherein the attachment surface comprises one of a second magnet and a surface which attracts magnets. 
     
     
         3 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an external attracter positioned on the external surface covering and attracted to the high powered attracter by magnetic forces such that the external attracter is held in place by the magnetic attractive forces therebetween and the external attracter can be placed against the attachment surface to suspend the handbag from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         4 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an external attracter positioned on the external surface covering and attracted to the high powered attracter by magnetic forces such that the external attracter is held in place by the magnetic attractive forces therebetween and the external attracter can be placed against the attachment surface to suspend the handbag from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         5 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 1 , wherein the the high powered attracter is permanently sealed inside the suspension pocket. 
     
     
         6 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 1 , wherein the the high powered attracter is removably sealed inside the suspension pocket, and the suspension pocket can be opened and accessed by a user. 
     
     
         7 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 4 , wherein the the high powered attracter is permanently sealed inside the suspension pocket. 
     
     
         8 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 4 , wherein the the high powered attracter is removably sealed inside the suspension pocket, and the suspension pocket can be opened and accessed by a user. 
     
     
         9 . An off the floor fashion handbag, comprising:
 a handbag outer material defining an exterior wall of the handbag and having an external surface covering;   a handbag inner lining attached in at least one location to the exterior wall;   a suspension pocket attached to an inside of the inner lining and having an interior space therein;   the suspension pocket configured to hold within the interior space a high powered attracter; and   the high powered attracter comprising a high strength magnet placed within the suspension pocket and configured such that the off the floor fashion handbag is suspended by placing the suspension pocket in proximity to an attachment surface thereby causing the high powered attracter within the suspension pocket to be attracted to the attachment surface, thereby sandwiching the outer material between the high powered attracter and the attachment surface and suspending the off the floor fashion handbag thereby so that the handbag does not rest on a bottom portion of the off the floor fashion handbag, but instead is suspended from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         10 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 9  wherein the attachment surface comprises one of a second magnet and a surface which attracts magnets. 
     
     
         11 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 an external attracter positioned on the external surface covering and attracted to the high powered attracter by magnetic forces such that the external attracter is held in place by the magnetic attractive forces therebetween and the external attracter can be placed against the attachment surface to suspend the handbag from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         12 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 an external attracter positioned on the external surface covering and attracted to the high powered attracter by magnetic forces such that the external attracter is held in place by the magnetic attractive forces therebetween and the external attracter can be placed against the attachment surface to suspend the handbag from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         13 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 9 , wherein the the high powered attracter is permanently sealed inside the suspension pocket. 
     
     
         14 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 10 , wherein the the high powered attracter is removably sealed inside the suspension pocket, and the suspension pocket can be opened and accessed by a user. 
     
     
         15 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 12 , wherein the the high powered attracter is permanently sealed inside the suspension pocket. 
     
     
         16 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 12 , wherein the the high powered attracter is removably sealed inside the suspension pocket, and the suspension pocket can be opened and accessed by a user. 
     
     
         17 . An off the floor fashion handbag, comprising:
 a handbag outer material defining an exterior wall of the handbag and having an external surface covering;   a handbag inner lining attached in at least one location to the exterior wall;   a suspension pocket attached to the external surface covering of the outer material, the suspension pocket having an interior space therein;   the suspension pocket configured to hold within the interior space a high powered attracter; and   the high powered attracter comprising a high strength magnet placed within the suspension pocket and configured such that the off the floor fashion handbag is suspended by placing the suspension pocket in proximity to an attachment surface thereby causing the high powered attracter within the suspension pocket to be attracted to the attachment surface and suspending the off the floor fashion handbag thereby so that the handbag does not rest on a bottom portion of the off the floor fashion handbag, but instead is suspended from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         18 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 17  wherein the attachment surface comprises one of a second magnet and a surface which attracts magnets. 
     
     
         19 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 an external attracter positioned on the external surface covering and attracted to the high powered attracter by magnetic forces such that the external attracter is held in place by the magnetic attractive forces therebetween and the external attracter can be placed against the attachment surface to suspend the handbag from the attachment surface.   
     
     
         20 . The off the floor fashion handbag of  claim 19 , wherein the the high powered attracter is permanently sealed inside the suspension pocket.
