How it's used
Borrowed directly from English, this term is primarily used in fashion and retail contexts. While it is understood by most speakers, many people in Hong Kong still prefer using the more generic term 袋 or simply calling it a canvas bag if the material is cloth. It is most frequently encountered in online shopping descriptions or trendy lifestyle boutiques.
