We use a possessive pronoun to substitute a possessive adjective + noun and avoid unnecessary repetition:

Instead of saying:

The black purse is my purse and the brown purse is her purse.
We normally say:

The black purse is mine, and the brown one is hers.

Pay attention to the comic strip above:
