Handbag

A handbag, also purse or pouch in American English, is a handled medium-to-large bag that is often fashionably designed, typically used by women, to hold personal items such as wallet/coins, keys, cosmetics, a hairbrush, pepper spray, a book, contraceptives, or a mobile phone. In the UK however a 'purse' would not refer to a handbag, but an item similar to a man's wallet, containing small items such as money and credit or debit cards.
