Did you hear the news? Handbags
and purses have the same meaning in the United States, but are different
in the UK. A handbag, also purse or pouch in North American
English, is a handled medium-to-large bag that is often fashionably
designed, often used by women, to hold personal items. In
British English, a purse is still used to refer to a small coin
bag.
The term "purse" originally referred to a
small bag for holding coins. A "handbag" is a larger accessory that
holds objects beyond currency, such as personal items. American
English typically uses the terms purse and handbag interchangeably.
The term handbag began appearing in the early 1900s. Initially,
it was most often used to refer to men's hand-luggage. Women's bags
grew larger and more complex during this period, and the term was
attached to the accessory. Handbags are valued for their stylishness
as visual accessories as well as for their function. This

A fanny pack
(American English) or bum bag (British English) is a small fabric
pouch usually secured with a zipper and worn by use of a strap
around the hips or waist. The American name derives from the
fact that they are often worn with the pouch above the buttocks,
for which "fanny" is a slang term in the United States, although
they may also be worn with the pouch at the front.
