In American English, a purse is a small bag, also called
a handbag or a pocketbook.
In British English, a purse is a small money container
similar to a wallet, but typically used by women and
including a compartment for coins, with a handbag being
considerably larger; indeed, a purse is often kept in a
handbag.
A purse or handbag is often fashionably designed, and is
used to hold items such as wallet, keys, tissues,
makeup, a hairbrush, cellular device or personal digital
assistant, feminine products, or other items.
