I wanted a "satchel" for school, and the lovely item I bought was named a "men's messenger bag". I've never heard that term before!
The differences between it and a "women's purse" (WP):
- It has a more comfortable shoulder strap than the dainty ones on WPs.
- Its morphology is pretty square. WPs have fewer right angles.
That's all I got so far.
I do prefer this style to WPs. It fits my look. I don't have a problem with style differences. I just think "men's purse" is a more accurate term; but I'm sure that name scared the American focus groups lol.
Well, maybe my bag is differentiated in that it can carry a laptop. Can WPs do that?
Messenger bags are cool AF and I don't care what you call them. It isn't a statement I just want to put my shit in a bag so I can carry it around easier!
