I know what it is, but don't know the English. I think there should be similar things in the West. Can anyone help, please? Thanks!

Thanks! As I checked, there's another name for it - "Donkey Bag". This term turns out more of the traditional 褡裢 images. I checked google and Wikipedia, "saddle bag" seems to be a more general term, referring to bags tied or hung under the saddle on beasts of burden or bicycles, and quite often they are not really two-sided. So I'd like to enter it as "Donkey Bag". Thanks again!
