Abstract: A handbag with a reversible flap has a handbag body with a open top. The flap has inner and outer panels, each with surfaces that can be selectively exposed to change the appearance of the handbag. The flap has a front cover portion that covers the front of the handbag body and a rear attachment portion with a pair of snaps which mate with a complimentary pair of snaps in a rear pocket of the handbag. The snaps on the flap are double-sided. The inner and outer panels are attached to each other only around the periphery of the front cover portion to allow the relative sliding between the inner and outer panels in the bend portion and rear attachment portion of the flap. This avoids the creation of creases in the bend portions as the flap is first used in one position and then bent to be used in the opposite position.
