They can have short straps for wrapping around the wrist or shoulder straps for slinging over the shoulder or the body.

Choosing Beaded Purses (Buying tips)
Closure: Choose a beaded purse made with a metal or magnetic clasp for effectively securing the contents inside.
Quality: Choose a well-made beaded purse with the beads sewn, stitched, or crocheted into the fabric. Do not get one with glued-on beads as the beads can easily fall off when the glue comes off.
