A handbag system includes an inner bag and at least one outer shell. The inner bag has a compartment into which items can be placed and a handle with a first end and a second end. The first end is fixed to a first position on the inner bag while the second end is unfixed but has a first fastener. A corresponding second fastener is fixed to a second position on the inner bag to releasably connect with the first fastener. The outer shell defines an inner volume that accepts the inner bag and has a first and second openings corresponding to the first and second positions of the inner bag. The second end of the handle is passable through the first and second openings to releasably secure to the inner bag via the second fastener.

An interchangeable handbag system includes a stand alone foundation handbag having an inner storage accommodating surface and an outer decorative surface. The foundation handbag may have regions, such as a hollow interior, front panel, a rear panel and a bottom panel connected by at least one edge to form a hollow container open at a top end thereof. Alternately the foundation handbag may be a flexible open-top container with a closed bottom, where the hollow interior, front and rear regions are part of the continuous container. The handbag system includes one or more reversible and/or non-reversible outer bottomless band trim covers that fit over a portion of the foundation bag in a nested arrangement. The bottomless band trim covers may fit over a portion of the foundation bag and/or another bottomless band trim cover. The bottomless band trim covers and foundation bag are connected by one and/or multiple fastening structures.

An antimicrobial barrier device is provided, adapted to shield a purse or other personal luggage device against microbial contamination and transfer. The anti-microbial barrier is designed to overlay and thereby anti-microbially shield a contact surface of the purse or luggage (typically a flat bottom or side thereof), effectively preventing viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoan contamination of the purse or luggage when the contact surface is rested upon a potentially contaminated surface, such as a floor, seat or countertop.

A bag with interchangeable outer panels. The outer panels may include graphics, lights, and/or other visual aspects. The panels are removable and interchangeable. The lights may be arranged to highlight particular areas of the panels (i.e., particular graphics on the panels). The panels also may include pockets for holding other items and standing feet such that a panel when removed from the bag may serve as a tabletop display.
