Handbag Pocketbook
Is there a difference between a handbag, pocketbook, purse, etc?
I'm (trying) to write a book, and I'm not sure which I should say one of my female characters should carry around. Is there any clear difference or are they interchangable and it doesn't really matter.
Old over 70 year old women carry pocketbooks. To everyone else that word is obsolete. People in the fashion business often use handbag, indeed if someone consistently says Handbag they are likely in the fashion or retail business. Most women don't care one way or the other and use the generic words purse or bag with little concern for size, type etc. For your book characters pocketbook would be a good way to denote a character who is old or out touch with the times. Handbag would be a way to show the reader that your character is a no nonsense business type A personality, rigid in definitions and in life. A character who carries a purse would be a girl-next-door type who has more important things on her mind.
