Hanging Removable Object in Box Frame

Post by sydframer »

Hello!

I am trying to hang a reversible handbag inside a box frame. The client wants to be able to open the frame and swap it around from time to time. I can't figure out the best way to mount it so she can easily swap it around! Some kind of clip perhaps? The bag is by a very well-known artist so I don't want to be doing anything to it like sewing into it. Anyone got any idea's that will look quite neat and not distracting?

You could make a feature of it and use some kind of decorative hook, with a small shelf built at the right height to sit the handbag on. If you do a front opening frame - either hinged or slide on version - that would make access easier for her.
