A handbag, also known as a purse or pocketbook, is a fashion accessory designed primarily for carrying personal items such as wallets, keys, makeup, and other essentials. Handbags come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes, catering to both practical and aesthetic preferences. They have been a part of human culture for centuries, evolving from simple pouches and satchels to intricate and stylish accessories. Handbags are typically made from various materials, including leather, fabric, synthetic materials, and exotic skins, depending on their intended use and design. They often feature straps or handles for easy carrying and secure closures like zippers, snaps, or clasps to protect the contents. Handbags serve as more than just functional items; they are often considered a symbol of style and status. They can complement an outfit, make a fashion statement, and express one's personality. From iconic luxury brands to affordable everyday options, handbags have become a staple in the wardrobes of people, reflecting the ever-changing trends and tastes of society.
