"Purse" or "handbag" or "pouch"
The term "purse" originally referred to a small bag for holding coins.
A "handbag" is a larger needed accessory, that holds items beyond currency,
such as a woman's personal items and emergency items to survive on. 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 accessory bags grew larger and more complex
during that period, and the term was attached to the
women's accessory.[1] Handbags are used as fashion accessories.
