Description:
PRIORITY 
     The present application is a continuation of, and claims priority benefit of, PCT/US2017/046150, filed Aug. 9, 2017, which claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application 62/373,844, filed Aug. 11, 2016. The entirety of each of the foregoing applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     This invention relates to an apparatus, method and system for storing and displaying handbags. In particular, the present invention serves several purposes including but not limited to a need to provide a system for displaying high-end handbags in a manner that the display system provides a sleek and aesthetically-pleasing design that complements and enhances the quality of the displayed handbags. Additionally, the present invention provides a storage and display system that preserves the integrity of the handbag and more particularly, the handle of the handbag, which can become damaged when not hung and stored properly. 
     It is known in the art that there are various methods for storing and display of clothing, personal accessories (for example, jewelry and scarves) and handbags that are designed for various purposes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,160,279 (A. T. Hovey) shows a rack hanging device for garments used for transportation and shipment. Also, U.S. Pat. No. 3,638,890(Burrell et. al) shows a handbag hanger that is also designed to hang complimentary wearing apparel (for example, a scarf). Additionally, U.S. Pat. No. 3,235,218 (H. E. Graham) shows an article display board or panel for displaying merchandise. Further, U.S. Published Application 2014/0263116 (Wojciechowski) shows an organizer for storing and displaying jewelry and accessories. Also, U.S. Pat. No. 8,128,043 (Walter) shows a hanging device for displaying merchandise. Lastly, Design Pat. No. D748,458 (Zech) shows a handbag holder. 
     While each of these inventions describe a method, apparatus or system of storing and displaying clothing, personal accessories or handbags, none of them provide an apparatus, method or system of storing and displaying that provides for various designs of handbags with various handle sizes and shapes to be stored and displayed, in a manner that protects the integrity of the handbag handle while also providing a storage and display system that is aesthetically and functionally designed in a manner to enhance and complement the high quality of the high-end handbag. 
     There exists a need for an apparatus, method and assembly for storing and displaying high-end handbags that provides the previously stated attributes. 
     SUMMARY 
     In one aspect, the present invention provides a storage and display system for high-end handbags. 
     In another aspect, the present invention provides a storage and display system for handbags that preserves the integrity (prevents damage) of the handle of a handbag. 
     In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a storage and display system for handbags that is aesthetically and functionally designed in a manner to enhance and complement the high quality of the high-end handbag. 
     In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a storage and display system for handbags that provides multiple supports and head adapters to accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes of handbags, simultaneously.
