Abstract
An improved handbag or the like having one entire side wall formed of a transparent panel which can be selectively exposed to permit facilitated viewing of items contained therein. The transparent panel is joined to an opaque panel to form a receptacle with an access opening at the top. An exterior cover panel is removably positioned in covering relation to the transparent panel and at least partially separably attached to the bag structure, allowing the cover panel to be displaced from covering relation to enable facilitated viewing of personal affects through the transparent panel for easy selection and removal.
