murse

Satchel for him

A murse is a man's purse—a bag carried by a man for personal items.

The blend of "man" and "purse" often carries a slightly mocking tone, acknowledging that carrying a purse-like bag challenges traditional gender norms: He calls it a messenger bag, but it's basically a murse.

Sometimes spelled man-purse.
