Manbags (a portmanteau of 'man' and 'handbags') are shoulder bags for men. Sometimes also called murse (a portmanteau of 'man' and 'purse'). Though the traditional briefcase is technically a manbag, in the current sense of the term, manbags refer to messenger bags and reporter bags[citation needed].
