This bag shape seems far superior for the purposes of carrying paper hither and thither than any other bag shape I've seen.
I carried a briefcase for my last three years of high school (in the early 90s in rural Ohio). After the jokes subsided it became "just a thing" and, wow, was it nice. I ended up being able to get by w/o using a locker (beyond stowing my coat in the cooler months). Being able to lock it was a treat, too.
I assume it would never fly today because "security".
That is why pocket folders exist.

That JanSport lasted me 20 years. It outlasted that dotcom started, the entire dotcom bubble, the Great Recession, and three jobs. It took on dozens of flights and road trips. On long hikes in the Smokey mountains, and sleepovers at several girlfriends' apartments. It was an absolute tank.
What finally gave out was the rubberized coating on the bottom started to get gummy. But, wow, did I get my money's worth with it.
Gorgeous
I could not find a picture, but there were like small army duffel bags, dark green with a yellow fabric strap. You held the strap and slung the bag over your shoulder.
