Welcome! I'm Lindsay
And this is (part) of my story....
Since my early 20's I was a celebrity fashion stylist in Hollywood styling for the biggest shows and celebrities. The journey was thrilling, rewarding and well, downright crazy! I realized there was more I wanted to do and that was to create and connect outside of being a stylist. Presently, my greatest thrill is to invent and dream up cool stuff that makes life more organized and way less frustrating. Yes, I am the original Inventor of the US Pat.

Just got my clip and love it. It’s beautiful leather, super practical, and looks discreet on my mini backpack. I foresee it also being convenient when I need to carry a sweater.
I love, love, love this clutch! My laptop and planning book fit perfectly in this clutch and in bags. Plus they look great and the leather is amazing!! Do not wait - order asap!!
This clip has to be the best invention for anyone wearing hats! Or in my case scarves! Gave one to my grandson when he was upset he lost his cap. He now attaches it to his backpack!
The manner in this is so strong!!! It holds your hat or towel and doesn’t let go!Somehow still not too difficult to get apart though! I really love the look of this too. Simple and classy.I think that it should be a bit more affordable, but it is beautiful.
Love all things Lindsay Albanese and have been a TOPTOTE customer for years. Couldnt resist this laptop clutch when I saw Lindsay post on IG. It does not disappoint. Love it!
I travel a lot - every 4-6 weeks and I purchased this two-sided laundry bag last year. I put all my undergarments and socks in it. It keeps me very organized. Whether I’m gone for one night or a longer trip, I always take this bag with me. I’ve gifted it to my SIL and most recently my BFF, both are world travelers. Well constructed with heavy duty zippers. I can’t say enough good things about this two-sided laundry bag. Worth the money.
I found this at the perfect time. I’m going on a trip in 2 weeks and I was trying to think of a way to bring a hat with. Now I don’t have to flatten it in my suitcase. This hat clip came very nicely packaged. It was nicely wrapped in tissue paper and then is inside a cardboard triangle that is then put inside a box with the image on it. I was very impressed with the presentation. With how nice the presentation is it doesn’t compare to how nice the actual hat clip is. It is larger than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. The braided leather looks very high end. Even the ring looks higher end with the octagon shape instead of the normal round ring. The magnets are very strong. I don’t think your hat would come loose unless you pulled it really hard. The price is higher but I think it is definitely worth it.
The clip is so big. I wasn't expecting that but it is very very well made. It holds my hat tightly and that hat's not going anywhere. The keychain is good quality and the magnetism is top notch. My fingers are scared of it because it snaps so fast and so well. It's a great product and I appreciate the little notes the seller added.
This hat clip came very nicely packaged. The magnet is very strong. The leather is great quality. The hardware is sturdy. Works amazing! Love it!
This is a beautiful leather hat holder. The magnet is extremely powerful and can hold a hat or anything that you can snap together with the holder. It's a fantastic quality and the chain that you use to hook on your purse is beautiful. It's really a great value and extremely versatile.
Very beautiful and practical, put on the bag without worrying about the hat problem, very firm, will not easily fall
This hat holder is easy to use. Attaching this clip to the purse strap can be a little challenging, but if the gold piece is held all the way down, inserting the strap is relatively easy. The magnet held my hat well, and it did not leave a mark. Lastly, I like the design of the clip as it looks well made.
I have several hat clips and this costs twice than the all the rest ... but it has the biggest "ring" that fits the wide straps of my travel tote bag. It's easy to put on and use.Performance wise it is reliably secure. The magnet is strong and able to hold different kinds of hats: bucket, straw, and even baseball cap -- really versatile. Which is why this is the hat clip I will be using for my travels.And I like brushed brass metal combination with patterned letter. The hex design looks classy, too.
This is an absolutely essential buy if you plan to bring/wear/buy a hat while traveling. This hat clip is STRONG - the magnets crimp together easily without any damage to the hat, and those suckers hold tight. As the product info notes, this won’t protect your hat from theft, but it takes a bit of effort to pull the magnets apart. This hat clip is so strong it *easily* clasps my heavy felt fedora and holds it firm. I absolutely love this product.
I bring huge hat on travels, squeeze it in my suitcase but always ending up broken or in a bad shape. Carrying them at a busy airport is a bit hassle but using this clipper made it more enjoyable. The hat holder is well designed and totally efficient. The holder is magnetic, doesn’t slip and easy to snatch in my tote-bag.
