A bag of broken latches (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satchel

'a bag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broken latches' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'latches' is an anagram of 'SATCHEL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for satchel that I've seen before include "Bag -- latches (anag)" , "Text mark for an insertion" , "What's carried by pupils" , "Bag for school books" , "Schoolbag found in chalets" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
