Do You Know Your Bag?
So many bags are out there, duffel bag, athletic bag, shoulder bag, satchel - the list goes on. Each bag seems to have a name for it, and unless you're a certified bag connoisseur (if there is such a thing) it’s too easy to make a mistake. It won't hurt to know some of the types of bags we use and see everyday.
