From Wikipedia:


Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses, canes, and umbrellas) are normally counted as fashion accessories rather than as clothing. Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually counted as accessories as well, even though in common speech these items are described as being worn rather than carried.

Ah, I have it: One wears an item of clothing, etc. because one puts it on one's body or body part and leaves it for the duration of the day. With a handbag one carries it when moving from point A to point B, then sets it down at point B. One also removes said carried bag to remove wallets or other items. If one wears a handbag the implication is it remains on some body part or the other the entire duration of the day.

How's that for a smartarse answer? :smartass:

At the Atlanta Merchantile Mart in May a booth had fashion models with very cute purses that were both carried like a normal purse but yet could be adjusted and wore around the waste sitting on the hip. the designer was a lady that was involved in an accident and needed something besides a normal purse. We did not order any but it was different.
