What to Look For in a Purse

Traditionally, a purse was a small handbag that held keys, a wallet and other personal items. Today, however, the term is often used to refer to a larger bag that is designed to hold a cell phone, makeup, books or other supplies. A purse can also be a fashion accessory, which is especially true of high-end bags.

In recent years, women’s purses have become more of an investment than a simple fashion accessory. Several designer bags have reached iconic status and retain impressive resale values. For instance, Coperni’s Swipe Bag has been spotted on Dua Lipa, Doja Cat and Kylie Jenner and is now a modern staple. The brand has remained committed to the design and continued to reimage it into new colorways, sizes and materials over four years.

When shopping for a purse, there are a few key features to look out for. These include:

Dedicated firearm compartment: It is important that you have a separate place to store your gun in a purse because leaving it in a pocket or in another part of the bag could be dangerous. Some purses have a separate zippered compartment inside the bag, while others have special pockets for concealed carry guns and ammunition.

Locking zippers: These are an excellent feature for purses that you carry frequently because they can provide added security if you need to leave your bag unattended. Many purses have these zippers on their handles and in the main compartment, but some are also included inside the straps to offer a double layer of protection.
