The term „purse“ originally referred to a small bag for holding coins. In British English, it is still used to refer to a small coin bag. A „handbag“ is a larger accessory that holds objects beyond currency, such as a woman’s personal items. American English typically uses the terms purse and handbag interchangeably. The term handbag began appearing in the early 1900s. Initially, it was most often used to refer to men’s hand-luggage. Women’s bags grew larger and more complex during this period, and the term was attached to the women’s accessory. Handbags are valued for their stylishness as visual accessories as well as for their function.
