My “purse” is a sport coat or a suit coat. Miscellaneous things go in to the extra pockets.
A week or so ago, the WSJ had a little article about purses and pockets. The writer suggested that putting stuff in women’s pockets affected the appearance of the garment. The writer was correct, but it does not change the danger of carrying a purse. As a mystery novel author observed in one of her recent novels, if you carry your house keys and a driver’s license in your purse, the thief knows which house to rob and how to get in.
On the other hand, if all your purse contains is cosmetics and maybe tampons, it is no risk if you lose it; except for the cost of the purse.
