Baggu vs Kaban - Is there any difference


Can someone help clarify. When should I use "baggu" and when "kaban"? Is there
any difference at all?




If you use google image it can give you a general idea:

[kaban

[baggu
results](https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%8B%E3%81%B0%E3%82%93+or+%E3%82%AB%E3%83%90%E3%83%B3+or+%E9%9E%84&client=firefox-

In short,

kaban is generally for men and baggu is generally for women (as shown in the
image results). Also, kaban seems more practical and business use while baggu
is more for fashion/design.

Another difference is already fixed names. For example, エコバッグ (eco baggu) and
キャリーバッグ (kyari baggu) are specific types of bags.
