Mannequin arms can be used for displaying purses in both retail window displays and in your home. Here are some of our favorites from our Pinterest board on this subject.

The window display above says it all. What woman doesn’t enjoy that orgasmic feeling of seeing a purse for the first time and saying, in her head or out loud: “Love it!” The pleasure of seeing it, touching it, picking it up as if she owned it cannot be easily measured but the window displayer knew exactly how to capture that feeling. The mannequin arms touch the bag and express the feeling simultaneously.

Mannequins and mannequin parts can be purposed in so many ways. I especially like to see how mannequin arms and hands are used – both in window displays and for personal use. Arms and hands can be very practical yet expressive in doing their work.

As a person who sells mannequins for a living, I am fascinated by movies and tv shows where mannequins are a significant part of the story line.

My ultimate favorite is the Twilight Zone episode “After Hours” where the mannequins come to life after the department store closes at night.
