handbag
Portable personal carrier
A handbag is a bag carried by hand or over the shoulder, typically used by women to hold personal items—wallet, keys, phone, cosmetics.
The term is more common in British English; Americans often say purse.
Handbags range from practical everyday carriers to luxury fashion accessories: She spent a month's salary on that designer handbag.
