A handbag is often functional and fashionably-designed.
In American English, a handbag is called a Purse (a small bag).
There are many styles of handbags: Purses are typically carried by women, though men sometimes carry one as a smaller alternative to a backpack; such a Purse is sometimes self-consciously termed 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 termed a Clutch. A larger Purse with two handles, is often referred to as a Tote.
A Pocketbook is similar to a Purse (in the British English sense), but has a place 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 made to protect other types-the carrier from travel theft. The purse has an invisible stainless steal strap within the fabric and a cover on the part where the zipper is.
Other types of handbag include :
Hobo: The Hobo bag is a style of Handbag or Purse that is typically large and characterized by a crescent shape, a slouchy posture and a long strap designed to wear over the shoulder.
Satchel: Many students use them at universities and colleges. Many people claim it can affect the growth of the wearer, but this hasn't been proven.
Other types of Handbag include:
