Though actually, shops still sell satchels to adults as a kind of smart shoulder bag, so the word is not only for old school photos. It feels a little old-fashioned and a little British when people talk about “a school satchel,” but the bag itself is still around. Soft cloth school bags in Taiwan are usually not what English speakers mean by satchel.

組成First recorded around 1340 as Middle English sachel, from Old French sachel, from Late Latin saccellum (“money bag, purse”), a diminutive of Latin sacculus, itself a diminutive of saccus (“bag”). So the word is, in a way, “a little little bag.” See sack.
