The term purse is used to describe a small bag or handbag that people carry, often with a wallet or other container for cash. A purse is also the name for a total amount of money in a fund or account, such as the purse of a golf tournament. When a golf player wins, they receive a purse—usually a sum of money—which is the prize money for the competition. In some cases, the winner may have to share the purse with other players. The amount of money in a purse may be determined by the number of competitors or the number of rounds the tournament lasts.
A purse can be made of any material, but it is most commonly crafted of leather or another durable fabric. It is usually a pouch-shaped bag, with a strap for carrying over the shoulder or on the arm. Some are made of plastic or other synthetic materials. People use them for many different purposes, from shopping and travelling to going to school or work. A purse is also a style statement and can be a symbol of luxury and wealth.
