Explanation:
That's what I would call it to avoid any further complications. They look fairly similar to what Zamira posted, and they are definitely not avoskas, so there's no harm done. Whatever it really is, I don't think you should call it a purse. Just ask yourself how often you carry canned corn in yours :)
