ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Satchel (bag)

Okay listen up kiddo, a satchel is a bag that you can wear with one strap across your body or over your shoulder. It's like a big pocket that you can put stuff in and carry around with you wherever you go!

Think of it like a backpack, but instead of having two straps that go over both shoulders, a satchel only has one strap. Some people like satchels because they're easier to carry around and access your things without taking the bag off.

Some satchels are made of leather which can be very sturdy and last a long time. Other satchels are made of different materials like canvas or nylon.

So next time you see someone walking around with a cool one strap bag, you'll know that it's a satchel and how it's different from other bags!
