A purse is a small bag used to hold your money, cell phone and other items. It is usually worn around your waist and can be secured with either a drawstring or a metal clasp. Historically, purses were made out of leather and were only available to the upper class, however in modern day many women carry them as well. In Britain, the original meaning of purse still stands and larger bags that hold more items are referred to as handbags.
There are a variety of styles available in the market today from oversized tote bags, to mini crossbody purses and clutches that will add a sophisticated touch to your evening ensemble. When it comes to purse brands, some designers have a cult following and others are coveted for their sleek and minimalist styles.
Choosing the perfect purse will depend on what you will be using it for. If you are going to be traveling, you will likely want a large tote that can hold all of your essentials including a laptop. On the other hand, if you will be out for dinner with friends or shopping, you may prefer a more minimal clutch that will only fit a few cards and your lip gloss.
One of the best purse brands is Bottega Veneta, which is renowned for its signature intrecciato weave. The company is also known for creating purses with an artisanal flair. The slouchy Sardine silhouette, which is loved by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is considered a style staple and there are several other options from the brand that will complement any look. The label is a favorite among women of all ages and sizes.
