manbags

Guys' shoulder pouches

Manbags are bags designed or marketed for men—messenger bags, satchels, or small crossbody bags that serve the function of a purse without the feminine associations.

The term emerged as men began carrying more items (phones, tablets, wallets) than pockets could accommodate: He keeps his iPad in his manbag.

Sometimes used mockingly to question a man's masculinity for carrying a bag at all.
