Abstract
There is disclosed a hinged member which is adapted to be positioned on an inner flap of a handbag or similar apparatus. The hinged member is adapted to coact with a chain or handle to enable a user to carry the bag by means of the handle or carry the same by means of a chain about the shoulder of the user. In a closed position the user upon operation of the hinge, can cause the chain or handle to be placed inside the bag and hence utilize the bag as a clutch bag or remove the handle or chain entirely. The hinged member according to this invention and as positioned on the flap of the bag, is virtually hidden from view during normal use to maintain a desired and aesthetic overall appearance for the handle.
