I would like to identify the pattern of the purse in the image below, and want to know how to begin the chain number of the stitch. Is it a double crochet or single crochet? What type of yarn do I use for this?

It looks like primarily single crochet. The flower looks like double crochet. If you are a member of knit & crochet community called ravellry you will find many groups you can post your question in. You will also be able to search the patterns posted. I will send your question to a friend who made a similar purse about 6years ago. Maybe she will respond.– LavishMango aka MelindaJun 1 at 4:38

Hi Valentine, I have edited your post and left in (and rephrased what I think were) the questions you were asking, but please focus on a single question. You can always ask other questions using the [New Question] button on the main page. Also, can you tell us where you found this picture? It is important to cite your sources.

This looks like tunisian crochet.
Here's an article about how to get started with it https://www.purlsoho.com/create/tunisian-crochet-basics/. Cotton seems to be the most common type of yarn for handbags. I'd recommend a cotton cord yarn for extra durability and to show off the stitch texture.

Looks similar but the handbags have a diagonal offset which your link lacks. Also just providing a link for an answer is not so useful for SE because links go bad...– rebusBAug 7 at 17:16
