Italian term or phrase: sacca
In a list of fashion products produced by a "Pelletteria" I find "borse e sacche" in leather and sailcloth. Unfortunately there is no chance of me obtaining a photograph and I'm not at all sure what they mean exactly by "sacche" and how it translates into "fashion English". Can anyone help?

duffel (bag)
Explanation:
I do lots of fashion translations and Slam, Kipling and many other brands have "sacche". These are good old fashioned duffel bags, or to be more "hip" duffels.

Asker: If I had just "sacca", I would have used bag... but I need to make a distinction between "borse" and "sacche", hence my difficulty.
