Clipa defines the new standard for purse hangers in an ideal circular design, stays on strap, easy one handed use, holds 45 lbs, under $20, made in USA
We make every Clipa purse hanger in Orange County, California. People are often surprised about that. Southern California does a lot of manufacturing and has a fantastic infrastructure that can perform virtually any process known to man. We wanted to take advantage of this so we set up shop, a manufacturing shop in Irvine. There we assemble the parts we have designed and have made by primarily local manufacturers. The farthest flung supplier for parts resides in America’s heartland. These parts are small and lightweight so the environmental impact of shipping them to California is minimal.
While Southern California is not known for low cost manufacturing, it can be very competitive. Our Clipa bracelet purse hanger was designed in Laguna Beach to be made in California. We chose extremely efficient advanced manufacturing processes to minimize labor content and provide high quality products.
By producing our product locally and controlling every detail, we can confidently state that there are no toxic materials in a Clipa purse hanger. Companies that manufacture overseas don’t have the same level of control and occasionally have unpleasant toxic material surprises.
Topcor is proud to be making products in our local community and is committed to providing innovative, durable, useful and safe products to our customers.

Watch Bagtrends.com Founder, HSN Bag Guru, AOL bag expert and TJ Maxx spokesperson Pamela Pekerman on Better TV about “Spring Cleaning for Handbags”. She led off saying that “handbags are our investment and you first and foremost absolutely want to keep them clean and free of germs”. Purse hangers are one of her favorite things and she showed a Clipa in action and concluded with “it doubles as a fabulous little bracelet” and “you definitely want to do a Clipa”. Pamela also talked about cleaning and saving expensive bags, keeping them organized with organizers and storage aids.
We were a finalist in the 2009 Spark Awards International Design Competition. Nike, Fuse Project and IDEO won the competition but were were pleased to make it into the finals with our Clipa purse hanger.
Today we attended the awards celebration for Excellence in Entrepreneurship. We were honored to be nominated for the award after being in business for only 9 months. Mike’s previous company, Tectrix Fitness Equipment, Inc. received the 1995 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Manufacturing in Orange County, California a year after being nominated. Sometimes it takes a few nominations to make it to the top. Congratulations to the five EIE winners for 2010!
We love to have Clipa appearing in the press, this time it’s Vaughan Living, a magazine in Canada. They said “No need to place your treasured arm candy on dirty floors and tabletops, Clipa helps hang your purse in an instant”
This month’s issue of OC Family Magazine featured Clipa in their “Mom’s Day Off” section. The magazine called it “a clever device that doubles as an accessory.”:
