2 in 1 Furniture - Chair With Built-in Hanger

And placing an expensive bag on the dirty floor is a crime.

The obvious flaw I see with this design is that you present your valuables in a very inviting way to thieves who can easily snatch it from behind your back without you noticing or having the time to react.
