Depending on the purse, yes. Not at all if you want tooling. Good choice if it is just a bag style.

I have made several purses with upholstery leather with fine results.

You need to appreciate the limitations of leather made for upholstery. It is thin, usually chrome tanned so it will not take any embossing, it is finished so will only take some dyes. However it will be fine for many other uses including bags, purses and even clothes. When I have been able to pick some up cheap it can be very useful.
