A bag is a container that is usually used for storing or holding something.

Bags are non-rigid, normally made of paper, cloth, thin plastic or some other flexible material. A bag may have one or two handles, or neither of these. A bag may be closable by a zipper, etc., or simply by folding (e.g. in the case of a paper bag). Sometimes a money bag or travel bag has a lock. Sachets are fabric bags that are filled with potpourri and tied off with ribbons.

Bags vary from small ones, like purses (e.g. as an alternative to putting personal things in pockets of clothing) to large ones for use in traveling like a suitcase.

Cheap disposable paper bags and plastic shopping bags are very common in the retail trade as a convenience for shoppers, and are usually supplied by the shop for free or for a small fee. Customers may also take their own shopping bags to the shop.
