A purse is a medium to large bag that can be used for carrying personal items like wallets and cell phones. It can also be worn as a fashion accessory, complementing an outfit and adding a pop of color or texture. Unlike tote bags, purses have a zipper or clasp that keeps its contents secure. There are many different styles and types of purses, with some having a more sophisticated, professional look than others.
A satchel is a purse with a more minimalist design that can be worn diagonally across the body. This design allows the purse to rest comfortably against the back and side areas distributing its weight evenly, making it more comfortable to carry than a purse that hangs from one shoulder or over the crook of an arm. A satchel is a good choice for women and men that need a small, portable bag for work or formal events.
When looking for a new purse, it’s important to find one that is well-made. Look for a purse with quality stitching and a durable, high-quality zipper that zips and unzips easily. Also, check that the zippers and other hardware aren’t rusty or sticky.
Another thing to consider when choosing a purse is the fabric lining. A light lining makes it easier to see the contents of your purse. A dark lining can make it difficult to locate items in your purse. In addition, a heavy purse can put unnecessary strain on your shoulders, so it’s important to choose a purse that is lightweight.
