Discussion of differences

What is the differnce between a satchle and a messenger bag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.129.99 (talk) 01:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The classic form of a satchel is a leather, soft-sided, flat bottomed bag with a single undivided storage space for books, with a large leather flap that folds over to cover the inside, usually closed by one or two buckled leather straps. It may have an "accordion" design to allow it to expand to hold more books. The satchel may be carried by a leather handle, or slung across the body with a strap. It is quite similar to a briefcase, but a briefcase is squared off with hard sides; and in some senses the modern satchel is an informal version of the briefcase. A satchel is not very similar to a messenger bag which has a much wider variety of designs and may have a more sports-oriented look and construction. It is hard to locate sources for this precise definition.Rakerman (talk) 15:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Might also want to try to clarify the "man purse" terminology Purse#Variations (is every satchel a "man purse" or what are the characteristics that define a "man purse"?) and "shoulder bag" terminology. Rakerman (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

specific kind of satchel?

I've seen satchels that people wear across the small of their backs, Notable references include Renton Thurston, and Leon Kennedy. Any chance theres a specific name for this bag? Murakumo-Elite (talk) 01:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
