The earliest known use of a purse is that of being a holder for coins in the medieval times. With the advent of the industrial revolution and advancements in transport networks encouraging more travel, a bigger, more enhanced solution was required which gave birth to the handbag and crossbody bag segment. Though a classic handbag can be termed as the bigger cousin but specialized crossbody bags gained more and more in popularity due to their style and convenience.
Meant to carry your essentials in person, a typical leather crossbody bag or purse will have a leather strap that goes around the body with the actual bag hanging by the side of the waist.
