satchels
Bags with straps
Satchels is the plural of satchel, a bag with a strap worn over the shoulder or across the body, typically with a flap that closes over the top.
Satchels are associated with schoolchildren carrying books and with messengers: She packed her satchels for the first day of school.
The word suggests something sturdier and more structured than a tote or backpack.
