ABSTRACT:
A combination garment and purse worn by a person as an article of clothing is adapted for carrying articles normally carried in a purse, handbag or briefcase and includes a garment of flexible sheet material having a back panel and a pair of side and frontal panels joined therewith. A fastener is provided for detachably securing confronting edges of the frontal panel when the garment is worn closed at the front. First pockets are provided accessible from inside of the garment for carrying articles and second pockets accessible from outside the garment are also provided for carrying articles. A resilient yoke is secured to the inside of the garment and includes a central neck segment extending across the back of a person at an upper level and a pair of forwardly extending shoulder segments joining the neck segment at opposite ends. The resilient yoke is padded and is effective for spreading the load of the garment and the articles carried thereby onto the wearer's back and shoulders over a relatively large area so that a wearer hardly notices when relatively heavy objects are being carried in contrast to a situation wherein the same weight of objects would be readily noticed when carried in a separate purse, briefcase or handbag with a handle or with a shoulder strap.
