A bag (or a purse) can be made of paper, cloth, plastic, leather, or some other flexible material.
A bag is used for packaging and/or carrying items.
For the latter a bag may have one or two handles; a shoulder bag has a strap to carry it on the shoulder (the bag is either carried on the side of the shoulder carrying it, or the other side). A rucksack has straps to carry it on the back. There is also be a string bag, with two strings which go over the shoulder and can be used as the fastening as well.
A bag may be closable by a zipper, snap fastener, etc., or simply by folding (e.g. in the case of a paper bag).
Bags vary from small ones, like purses (e.g. as an alternative to putting small objects in pockets of clothing) to large ones for use in traveling like a suitcase.
