You know those nights you get all dressed up?
The kind where your SO has actually found the time to get on Opentable and make a reservation? Or where you and your girlfriends are planning to be classy for an hour or so at dinner before getting raucous at the Park at 14th?
And you pull out your pretty clutch, stuff it with wallet, keys, Mace, three lipglosses, and a ponytail holder in case your hair falls flat and head to the dinner locale of choice.
And then you sit down and realize that there is no place to put said clutch.
You definitely don't want to put it on the floor. Yuck.
It kind of slides around on your lap and you have to keep touching it every time you reach for your napkin. Irritating.
My grandmother (from whom I have a gorgeous green pressed mock croc envelope clutch on permanent loan) told me that etiquette dictates that a woman put her purse on the table. But in reality, I think that's odd looking. And someone could spill.
Well, apparently, Alain Ducasse has solved that problem at his new spot in New York, Adour.
The chairs have little pull out shelves on which you can rest your bag!
Brilliant.
It also gives you the chance to show off a particularly covetable bag.
Seriously, as long as the waiters don't start tripping over these things, this might be the greatest purse related discovery since those little hooks under the bar.
If only other restaurants would follow suit!
what? no one else carries Mace? Have you seen some of the guys at the Park? I'm just saying...

Brill!
that is brilliant
Why aren't there more of these? Because most places and chairs are/were designed by men. The thought just doesn't enter their mind.
Its so annoying. I usually try and capture another chair and don't make any bones about it. They should have considered my needs in the first place!

I agree totally with your grandmother and I applaud Ducasse! :-)

Knowing this exists just improved my day.
Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?
We are a company based in Hong Kong and have been providing custom made suits & shirts since 1997. With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.
All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost. In case you are not able to find what you are looking for then please let us know your requirement may it be in words or by a photograph and we could arrange it for you.
We also have an outlet at the Hotel Intercontinental Budapest where you are most welcome to visit us. Though we are not located in streets like Savile Row (London), we have still been able to offer made to measure suits to many VIP’s from around the world.
