Find the right women's purse for you
A purse is one of the most essential accessories for everyone, men and women alike. Unfortunately, it's also often neglected. Many of us stick with the same purse for years, even as it gets old and tatty. Don't make this mistake! Instead, look for fun and stylish ladies' purses. Even if your purse is just going to be inside your handbag most of the day, you'll feel happier when you whip it out if it matches your personal style. Remember, because a purse is rarely on display, this is your chance to really go crazy. If you want bright, bold colours or outrageous prints, feel free to shop for those kinds of prints – it'll make spending money a lot more fun!
Ladies' purses versus purses
We often talk about purses and purses interchangeably, but when it comes to keeping your money secure, there's a difference. Purses usually fold, and have more compartments; in a good woman's purse, you'll have space for notes, all your cards, bus and train tickets, and more. You may not have a secure spot for coins, though. That's where purses come in. A purse usually fastens with a zip or clasp and is ideal for holding coins. You might also be able to tuck notes and cards in there, but there won't be separate pockets for them. Ultimately, whether you prefer a woman's purse or a purse is a personal choice – and some stylish ladies even have both in their handbags!
How to choose the perfect purse
It's really important to think about the size of your purse. In particular, you'll need to compare it to the size of your handbags. If you tend to stick with oversized bags, then you can choose a bigger purse; if you prefer clutches or little bags, though, it won't fit comfortably, so choose something smaller. Look at the number of compartments, too, and think about your lifestyle. Do you have dozens of cards that are always getting lost and jumbled up, or just one or two? When it comes to design and colour, the sky's the limit. A large purse in classic black leather can double up as a clutch for nights out, but if you prefer a smaller purse in a bright, funky print, go for it.
