Walk into any of the more upscale restaurants in this town and the waiter will bring a purse rack, a sort of mini version of a coat rack, to your table, even before he hands you the menu or offers you a drink. Their ubiquity must owe something to the metal working done in and around Tonala nearby. The custom is also likely the product of the culture of conspicuous consumption in Guadalajara, where the gente bien would not dream of tossing their very expensive purses on the floor or hanging them over the back of a chair. The perchero ultimately facilitates the see and be seen piece of Guadalajara's tremendous dining scene. I'll treat on a tequilito for the first GDLer to name the place pictured here.
very cool, and still love that bag!
