manbag
Dude's shoulder satchel
A manbag is a bag carried by a man—typically a small shoulder bag, messenger bag, or satchel.
The term emerged as men began carrying bags that weren't briefcases or backpacks, sometimes with a hint of defensiveness or humor about masculinity: He calls it a messenger bag, but it's basically a manbag.
The word can be neutral or gently mocking depending on context.
