         10 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein said support rod comprises an extendable length. 
     
     
         11 . An assembly for supporting and displaying a handbag, comprising:
 at least one closed loop;   at least one support rod;   at least one bracket;   
       an opening within said at least one closed loop for receiving at least one of the support rods. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said assembly comprises at least one bracket comprising a substantially vertical orientation that is affixed to a wall. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said assembly comprises at least one bracket comprising a substantially vertical orientation that is a free standing unit. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one bracket comprises a substantially horizontal orientation, comprising a substantially horizontal bracket that is affixed to two vertical support brackets that are further affixed to a wall. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said assembly comprises at least two support rods comprising reversibly extendable lengths. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one bracket comprises a vertical orientation that is affixed to a wall. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one closed loop further comprises at least one closed loop that is fully penetrated with a support rod and at least one closed loop that is partially penetrated by said support rod. 
     
     
         18 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one closed loop further comprises a closed loop that comprises an additional support portion for supporting a handle or strap of a handbag. 
     
     
         19 . The assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said assembly comprising at least one bracket comprising a substantially vertical orientation that is affixed to a wall further comprises at least two laterally connected vertically oriented brackets that further comprise at least two support rods removably connected therefrom and that further comprise each at least one closed loop. 
     
     
         20 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said assembly comprising a substantially horizontal bracket that is affixed to two vertical support brackets that are further affixed to a wall further comprises at least two laterally connected horizontally oriented brackets that further comprise at least two support rods removably connected therefrom and that further comprise each at least one closed loop.
