Types of Bags
# Athletic bag: a soft, roomy bag used to carry sporting equipment and apparel to the gym.
# Backpack: a bag that is supported by the shoulders with double handles and lies across the back. Backpacks are supported on either one or both shoulders.
# Baguette Bag: A purse that is relatively long from side to side and small from top to bottom – basically a little like a baguette with a handle.
# Bowling Bag: A bag originally made to hold a bowling ball, this has become a fashion item.
# Bucket bag: roomy bag shaped like a bucket, usually has an open top and shoulder strap.
# Clutch Bag: Small but long bag (rectangular), evening bag without a handle. You have to clutch it – hence the name.
# Cosmetic case: bags of varying sizes and shapes with a zip closure lined to hold cosmetics.
# Doctor's bag: A traditional doctor's bag is a duffel-shaped leather satchel used primarily to carry small medical necessities when making house calls. The classic doctor's bag is flat-bottomed with rounded sides, slightly elongated. Two large handles come together over the top for easy carrying. The mouth of the bag has a collapsible metal frame that springs open when handles are separated and tugged. The gaping mouth makes it easy to see into the bag and extract items.
# Duffel Bag: A large bag usually used for travel or sports. The name comes from Duffel, a town in Belgium where the thick cloth used to make the bag originated. Duffel bags are often used by sailors, and are sometimes called sea bags in this capacity.
