What is a Purse?

The purse is a fashionable accessory used to carry money, cosmetics and electronic devices. Traditionally, the term “purse” was used to refer to women’s handbags but since the early 20th century, men’s bags have also become popular. A purse can be carried either in the hand or on a shoulder, depending on its design and style.

Purses are available in a wide variety of materials, colors and designs. They can be very small, such as a clutch, or large enough to hold a wallet and a laptop computer. The most popular designer bags are leather or fabric and have a secure closure, such as a zipper or snaps. The color and texture of the bag is often a reflection of its designer, such as Miu Miu purses with their ruched look or Valentino bags with the signature horsebit hardware.

Many people buy a new purse every season, but investing in designer bags will last for years. Many of these luxury bags are made with high-quality leather and exotic leathers that will not wear down.

One of the best ways to keep a designer purse in great condition is to shop pre-owned purses on sites like Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective and FarFetch. You can find purses in great condition at these sites and even get the latest trends for less.
