satchel
Shoulder strap carryall
A satchel is a bag with a shoulder strap, typically flat-bottomed with a flap that closes over the top.
The word often suggests a bag for carrying books or papers: She slung her satchel over her shoulder and headed to class.
Satchels are associated with students and messengers, though the style appears in fashion accessories too.
