A garment capable of being folded and converted to a purse. The garment contains pockets of various sizes and shapes designed specifically to carry items usually carried in a purse. The pockets are on the outside and in the lining portion of the garment and are so arranged that the garment is not distorted by items carried within said pockets. Zippers and VELCRO are used as closures for some of the pockets. A rectangular portion affixed to the back portion of the lining containing gussets with separating type zippers and strips of VELCRO converts to a conventional purse with the remainder of the garment contained within. The pockets of the garment are so arranged that they are accessible while the garment is contained within the conventional purse portion. A method for folding the garment and converting it to a conventional purse is also disclosed.
