FAQs
Can the Minou hold heavy bags?
It is designed for standard handbags and purses; please avoid hanging heavy luggage or overly weighted bags that exceed standard daily carry limits.
Will it scratch my table?
The item is crafted for general use, but it is recommended to place it carefully on delicate or soft wooden surfaces to avoid potential scuffing.
Is the material resistant to rust?
Yes, it is constructed from durable materials designed for longevity, provided it is kept dry and cleaned regularly.
Does it fit in a small purse?
Yes, at 10.6 cm by 6 cm, it is designed to fit easily inside most standard handbags.
Can I use it on glass tables?
Yes, provided the edge is not too slippery or angled in a way that prevents the hook from achieving a stable hold.
Troubleshooting
The hook slips off the table surface
Ensure the table edge is flat and not excessively thick or rounded; the device requires a stable, even surface for optimal grip.
Fingerprints and smudges appearing on the finish
Polish the surface gently with a soft microfiber cloth to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Minou is intuitive: place the weighted or shaped end on the table surface and let the hook part hang over the edge. It is most compatible with standard-thickness tables without extreme beveling. To maintain the mirror-polished finish, wipe the hook with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth after use to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the polished surface and diminish its reflective quality.
