Purses were being discussed in another thread. IMO, younger women don’t tend to carry purses, it’s mainly those over 50.

Men if you carry a man purse or have an opinion, feel free to add it.
 

I have a small cross-body bag that I use everyday for dog walks.
Mainly to carry keys and cell phone, w/glasses, change and dog bags.

When going to the store, I add my wallet, w/ credit cards and drivers license.

a hand bag or shoulder bag.. is something you carry your purse in..... :D

..so if you mean a handbag..then yes I carry one, mostly always... ( usually a shoulder bag but not a large tote).. I have lots....I chop and change depending on what I'm wearing or where I'm going..
this is exactly the same as the one I was using today

I'd call the item in the first picture a wallet

I always carry one if I am going somewhere, like in a car. It has more than my wallet in it. If I am going somewhere local like to the store on Jazzy (mobility chair) I carry a small change purse type of thing. I figure if someone robs me that is all they get.

I don't keep any money in my bag... I keep loyalty cards, and a travel pass and less than £10 in change .. but I keep my debit or credit card in my jeans pocket, and my car/house keys clipped to my jeans belt ....so if I get mugged then they don't get my house keys or access to my bank account
 
I carry a wallet but considering adding a fake one when out and about.

One wallet goes in my front pants pocket so it won't be lost. It holds all the real valuable things one wouldn't want to lose.

Second wallet is thin for comfort and goes in my rear hip pocket. It contains about $20 in small bills and several worthless cards. If I get ambushed by a robber I can pull out the fake wallet and give it to them.

Low crime here, not no crime.

what if you have no choice about which one you give them, ?
 
I quit carrying a purse years ago .... unfortunately with phones getting bigger and bigger and more junk we are expected to carry i might have to get one.
I thought about this discussion after the thread on all the high end purses being grabbed from retailers.
Maybe the average mugger knows all the designer logos and skip my cheap type purse

I see many of the across the body types becoming advertised lately probably thinking about purse being grabbed .....but if they want it bad enough that wont stop criminals... and the person ends up hurt
I knew a pick pocket that gave me tips about what types of purses backpacks he would avoid and maybe having a false wallet more easily seen that would be targeted first.

Sad people are putting anti theft thoughts for a topic like this......

After having lost my purse twice and going through hell and highwater to replace all my ID, making notifications, and replacing licenses, I learned my lesson and buy clothing with pockets. Lots of pockets and stuff them with my items. It works fine, even though I do not carry a lot of things that I deemed necessary years ago.
 
All my purses now are crossbody with the anti-theft style strap. Most thieves want something easy to steal and get out there quickly.

I do have a couple of higher end (by my standards) purses. They’re not very practical.

Women who leave their purses sitting in the top of the grocery cart frustrate me. They say they’re attached to the cart or watching. I know I could have easily reached in many of these.

I would give them both if I had no choice. Doesn't that seem to be the wise move instead of physical injury or death?

yes my point was that they're most likely not going to ask...the chances are they're going to knock you down and go through all your pockets without permission from you.., so it's fairly pointless carrying 2 wallets.. you might be better off wearing a money belt under your shirt... it's flat so it can't be noticed against the body .. and then carrying a little bit of money in a pocket ...however I hope it never happens that you get into a situation like that..obviously

I carry a purse to most places but not when I go out to walk my dog. I don't carry one when walking the dog because I fear someone stealing it. Otherwise I am in my car with my purse and only a short walk to where I'm going, like an appointment of some kind.

Me neither..if I'm just walking for example , through the woods, or farmland next to my house, I only take my phone.. no bag !
