The present invention provides a handbag having a recess or similar depression molded in a back panel for holding a purse. A shoulder strap is provided for carrying the handbag with the back panel and the recess adjacent to the user's body so the purse is inaccessible to all but the user. The recess is sized to firmly fit the purse with the front of the purse being substantially flush with outer face of the back panel. The handbag is also provided with a back flap to complete cover the recess and the purse to make the purse even more inaccessible to non-users. Velcro or similar type of a fastener holds the back flap firmly to the back panel. At least the back panel of the handbag is made of a type of leather in which the recess is molded into back panel using warm water and a molding press. The back panel consists of two separate molded pieces of leather whose rough sides are joined by an adhesive and whose smooth sides are the outer and inner faces of the back panel. A liner is sewn to the inner face of the back panel to form inner pockets.
