A women's purse is a small bag or container for carrying personal items such as money, keys, makeup, and ID cards. It's an essential accessory in a woman's wardrobe, playing a functional and stylistic role. On the other hand, women's satchel bags are a specific type of crossbody bag, usually large enough to carry books and other items, with a strap worn over the shoulder and across the body. It often has a flap that closes the main compartment.
