Every Duo Clip Set includes two pieces: the patented Sidecar Clip and a matching Oval Hinge Clasp. The clip holds your hat. The clasp attaches the set to your bag, so the two work together as one hands-free carry system.

The Oval Hinge Clasp clips onto a handle, strap, D-ring, or belt loop. No tools, no permanent hardware, and nothing to install. You can move it between bags in seconds.

No. The Sidecar Clip uses a patented tension-based system engineered specifically for hats, so it holds securely without bending, crushing, or pressing hard enough to mark fine materials. It is designed around hold and flexibility rather than clamping force alone.

Current finishes include Shiny Black, Classic White, Mocha, Tawny Rose, Cobblestone Grey, Brushed Rose Gold, Shiny Silver, and Premium 14K Gold. Availability varies by finish, and sold-out colors have a notify-me option on the product page.

The mechanism is identical. Enamel Duo Sets are finished in color for everyday wear and start at $25. The Premium 14K Gold Duo Set features 14K gold-plated hardware with a polished, jewelry-grade finish at $105.

Yes, and that is what the Build Your Own Duo Set option is for. Mix and match any two finishes and save 10% on the pair.

Two gives you flexibility. Carry a second hat, rotate finishes to match your outfit or bag, keep one on your travel bag and one on your everyday bag, or split the set and gift half.

Yes. It attaches to totes, carry-ons, weekenders, backpacks, and belt loops — anywhere the Oval Hinge Clasp can close around a strap or ring.

No. Each piece is engineered to be lightweight so it does not pull on your bag or your hat.

The OG is a complete carry system: the patented 14K Sidecar Clip, an attached genuine leather Side Strap with white contrast stitching, and an adjustable genuine leather strap with 14K hardware. It retails for $150.

A Duo Clip Set attaches your hat to a bag you already carry. The OG is its own carry system — the included straps let you wear your hat crossbody, backpack-style, or on your belt without needing a bag at all.

1. Crossbody, for travel days, walking, and hands-free movement.
2. Backpack, which distributes weight comfortably for longer wear.
3. Belt, for minimal carry and quick access.
4. It can also be worn purse-style on a bag.

Yes. The genuine leather strap adjusts so you can move between crossbody, backpack, and belt wear without swapping hardware.

Genuine leather straps with white stitching and premium 14K gold hardware, built to hold up to daily use and travel.

Choose The OG if you want to carry your hat without a bag, or you travel often and want one system that adapts. Choose a Duo Clip Set if you always carry a purse or tote and just want your hat to travel with it.

The OG currently ships in Brown leather with 14K gold hardware.

The set includes an adjustable nylon purse strap with genuine leather accents and 14K gold hardware, plus a matching removable genuine leather coin purse.

Sable, Olive, Indigo, Buttercream, and Stone.

It is designed to attach to most purses and handbags with standard strap hardware, and works as either a replacement strap or an upgrade to the one your bag came with.

Yes. The length adjusts so you can wear your bag crossbody or on the shoulder.

Small travel essentials — cards, keys, cash, lip balm, earbuds. It is built for the things you want to reach without digging through your bag.

Yes. The coin purse clips onto the strap and detaches completely, so you can reposition it, remove it for a cleaner look, or move it to another strap.

Yes. The nylon body is lightweight and flexible, which spreads weight more comfortably than a rigid strap over long days of walking or travel.

Yes, and many customers do. Clip the Duo onto the nylon strap and you have your bag, your essentials, and your hat all on one hands-free system.

Sidecar is designed to work with all hat styles from wide-brim and fedora, straw and felt, panama, bucket, and baseball caps.

Yes. Wide-brim straw hats are the exact use case the patented tension system was engineered for, since they are the hardest hats to carry without crushing.

No. The clip is designed not to damage fine hat materials, and the contact surfaces are built for exactly that reason.

A single clip is designed to carry one hat securely. If you travel with two, a Bundle Set gives you a clip for each.

Yes. The tension system is designed to hold through daily movement, travel days, and city walking.

Clip the Sidecar to your bag or strap, then secure your hat using the Oval Hinge Clasp. Two steps and you are hands-free.

Current bundles include Build Your Own Duo Set (save 10%), the Nylon Crossbody Bag Strap & Coin Purse 8-Piece Set, and several two-color Duo Clip gift sets.

Yes. Straps and coin purses share a core palette so pieces can be bought separately and still look like a set.

Most hat carriers are bulky, single-purpose, or built from generic hardware. Sidecar is a US-patented system engineered specifically for hats, finished with jewelry-grade materials so it reads as an accessory rather than a gadget.

Yes. The Sidecar hat holder and its tension-based hold system are protected by a US patent.
