A satchel is a bag with a strap, traditionally used for carrying books. The strap is often worn so that it diagonally crosses the body, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip, rather than hanging directly down from the shoulder. The back of a satchel extends to form a flap that folds over to cover the top and fastens in the front. Unlike a briefcase, a satchel is soft-sided.

The satchel has been a typical accessory of English students for centuries, as attested in Shakespeare's famous monologue, "All the world's a stage": “The whining school-boy, with his satchel and shining morning face.”{{cite book |access-date=2025-12-02

In Japan the term for a school bag satchel is randoseru.

In fashion

The satchel became a fashion accessory in the 2000s and 2010s, with the proliferation of satchel-shaped handbags and other accessories from various brands such as the Cambridge Satchel Company.
