From: "jacob z." <jsz@eds.org>
well, i've heard the term "handbag" used to describe house music that,
uh,
girls might like to dance to.? because they'd put their handbags down,
and
dance around them.? i haven't heard it used very much though.? and no
one
has ever been able to explain to me in musical terms what makes
something
"handbag."? i think it's another way of saying "that club shite."

It was known this side of the water (ie - Ireland / UK) as Handbag House.
Basically house with more bpms less jazz and/or blues plus a "song"
structure to include screaming diva vocals, loads of pianos and breakdowns.
Aimed at a dressed up crowd like defunct London club nights Malibu Stacy and
Billion Dollar Babes.
See M People, Rozalla, JX, Livin' Joy, Black Box etc.
