Removable reattachable adjacent bag segments are mounted to each other by means of snaps, VELCRO or the like. One or more bag segments act as a decoy and are positioned facing out and away from the body of the handbag holder while other adjacently placed bag segments designed to hold valuables are positioned more proximate to or up against the handbag holder's body. A shoulder strap is attached to a decoy bag segment and is hung over the user's shoulder. Cavities created between each of the adjacent bag segments are capable of enveloping the handbag holder's hand. When an extraordinary pulling force is exerted upon a decoy bag segment or segments, they will separate from the adjacent valuables bag segment or segments and said valuables bag segment or segments will be retained against or between the handbag holder's hand and body.Field of SearchTheft resistantWith means for securing an accessory Plural Compartmented Removable compartment or compartment-forming member Detachable With means to deter theft of contents (e.g., puzzling closure or secret compartment) Theft or loss resistant Plural Removable (detachable) compartment or compartment-forming member Independently closable compartments With handle or carrying strap Magnetic or adhesive-type element (includes hook and loop type fastener) PLURAL Including auxiliary compartment | |
