Purses and Handbags - Women's Accessory

A purse is a small bag, also called a handbags
In British English, a purse is a small money container similar to a wallet, but typically used by women and including a ompartment for coins, with a handbag being considerably larger; indeed, a purse is often kept in a handbag.
Purses
are usually carried by women, though men sometimes carry one as a smaller alternative to a backpack; such a purse is sometimes termed a murse or manbag (portmanteaus "man" with "purse" and "handbag" respectively). It can also be called a man-purse. Such bags are often similar or identical to messenger bags. Smaller children also use Purses , but usually just for show. Kiefer Sutherland, of 24 fame, brought the man-purse into the main stream through his character, Jack Bauer. Jack frequently prominently carried his messenger bag with him in the 5th Season.
