That's interesting! Here, purse and handbag are mostly interchangeable. And handbag sounds, to me at least, slightly 'old-fashioned.' Two countries divided by a common language! At least that's less confusing than the UK "bum bag" vs the US "fanny pack."
I prefer most British spellings over American ones when they're different. Especially theatre!
