A handbag is often functional and fashionably-designed.
In American English, a handbag is called a Purse (a small bag).
Different types of handbags: Purses are usually carried by women, though men sometimes carry one as a smaller alternative to a backpack; such a Purse is sometimes self-consciously described as a "murse" or "manbag". It can also be bluntly called a "man-purse".
A medium-to-small-sized bag with a short handle, designed to be carried (clutched) in one's hand is often called a Clutch. A larger Purse with two handles, is often called a Tote.
A Pocketbook is similar to a Purse (in the British English sense), but provides for the carrying of sheets of paper as well. Purses are also made-up of zari, sterling silver, leather, cloth etc.
A security Purse is used to protect types-the carrier from travel theft. The purse uses an invisible stainless steal strap inside the fabric and a covering on the part where the zipper is.
