In searching for the perfect purse for my wife I have discovered a lot of things.  There are leather purses and there are fabric purses.   There are purses designed to just hold coins and there are purses big enough to carry enough equipment for an overnight camping trip.  I also discovered I had no idea what she wanted when she said she wanted a purse.   I looked in her closet to see what she had purschased for herself in the past and that was no help.  There were no two alike or even similar enough to give me a clue.  Her friends said buy her one that will go with her outfits.
