    That's a picture of a wallet, LOL. Actually we say both handbag, purse, and oh yes, sometimes just bag.

    yes but it's called a purse here.... a wallet is what a man uses for his money...

    What you call a purse we call a Handbag or shoulder bag..

    Yes, Holly, we would call your handbag by both names . Sometimes handbag, sometimes purse:) I get what you mean about what you call purse, though.

    :) Funny how we call things different names! I carry a purse, and this picture is a clutch to me... clutch purse or wallet. A man carries either a wallet or "billfold" here in my area.

    When I see trousers I think of men. Women wear pants or slacks.

    Slacks were the name of womens trousers wayy back in the 40's and fifties here , it's a very old fashioned word here now..you'd typically if ever only hear it from someone very elderly...
