A handbag is nowdays usually functional and fashionably-designed.
In British English, a handbag is considerably larger than a Purse, which is a small money
container similar to a wallet (but typically used by women) and including a compartment for
coins.
Variations of handbags: Purses are generally employed by women, though men sometimes use one
instead of a backpack; such a Purse is sometimes self-consciously called 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 referred to as 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 great to protect other types-you from travel theft. The purse takes
advantage of an invisible stainless steal strap within the cloth and a binding to cover the
zip.
Other types of handbag include :
Hobo: There are many different sizes and shapes of this popular woman's handbag/accessory.
Satchel: The Satchel type of bag has existed for centuries and outdates the backpack that is
common nowadays. Many people still think a Satchel is a ladies bag, but it really is unisex and
there is no one who can not use a Satchel.
Other types of Handbag include:
The Duffle: A large bag commonly used for travel or sports, The Shopper, and The Cross body.
