A handbag with interchangeable covers that alter the overall look of the handbag. This allows users to customize the aesthetics of the bag and have multiple looks without having to purchase an entirely new handbag. The insert has a zipper enclosure and inner pocket. The outer covers can be made from a variety of materials and securely attach to the insert, fully enveloping it. The two pieces are easily attached by fastening the pegs located on the top of the cover with corresponding holes located on the top of the insert.

A carrying case that may be configured to include or to receive an attachable panel is described. The attachable panel may be configured to be attached to the carrying case. The attachable panel may have graphical artwork or pictures printed onto its surfaces or otherwise affixed to it. The manufacturer of the attachable panel may not need to carry inventory of printed attachable panels, but instead may produce graphically enhanced attachable panels upon each sales order.

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.

Handbags, including soft handbags, are easily customizable by attaching or changing handbag covers of virtually any design. The handbag covers can include, at least in part, an essentially collapsible material, and are relatively small and easily stored. Accordingly, the aesthetic and design of handbags can be easily altered without requiring the purchase of different handbags of different styles. In at least one implementation of the present invention, the handbag covers essentially envelope the base handbag. Additionally, one or more implementations of the present invention include handbag covers that attach to a base handbag via a plurality of attachment forces.

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.

A reversible handbag comprises front, back, bottom, first side, and second side panels configured together to form a handbag with the bottom panel permanently joined to the bottom side of the front, back, first side, and second side panels. The remaining sides of the front, back, first side, and second side panels removably attach to corresponding others sides of the front, back, first side, and second side panels at various seams so that, when so attached, exterior surfaces of the panels form a bag exterior and interior surfaces of the panels form a bag interior, to reverse the handbag from exposing the bag exterior to exposing the bag interior, the panels are temporarily detached from one another at the seams and, thereafter, reattached in a different configuration. An interior sack removably attaches to the bag interior to be a lining of the handbag and act as a bag content receptacle.
