A handbag is practically always functional and used as a fashion accessory.
In American English, a handbag is called a Purse (a small bag).
We see a lot of variety in 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 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 space 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 types-the carrier from travel theft. The purse makes use of an invisible stainless steal strap inside the fabric and a top to cover the zip.
