Abstract

A new and improved purse with a breakaway shoulder strap has a container for receiving and holding miscellaneous contents of a user, the container having opposed upper side edges. An elongated strap has a first segment and a second segment, each segment having an exterior secured end attached to an associated upper side edge of the container. Each segment has an intermediate free end. An attachment means releaseably couples the adjacent intermediate free ends of the segments. Breaking the coupling may be used to activate an alarm.
