Abstract
Disclosed is a handbag (e.g., purse) that easily converts from a handbag into a bulletproof vest for a user. While the handbag provides the aesthetic appearance of a typical bag which a lady may carry, the handbag is configured with features that enable a user to remove a bullet proof vest from within a specifically configured compartment within the handbag, and then wear the handbag around the user's abdomen so that the bulletproof vest can protect the user's chest. Furthermore, a bulletproof vest may be attached to the handbag, such that while the removed bullet proof vest can protect the user's chest, the remainder of the handbag can protect the user's back.
