ABSTRACT:
A flexible garment bag of the type which can be hung or held vertically or which can be folded transversely midway between the ends and carried by a handle like a suitcase. The front of the bag has an access panel attached at the bottom by a fold to allow it to be moved to open position. Detachable connections allow the access panel to be closed. When closed, a handle on the outside of the access panel allows the bag to be carried like a suitcase. Unlike other designs which put the handle on the back panel, this arrangement permits suits to be loaded in the usual way, but when the bag is folded the suits are folded with the lapels up instead of down, thus limiting wrinkling. A rigid folding bar in the back panel of the bag facilitates folding of the bag and the hanging garments in the bag. In addition, corner pockets are located near the clothes hangers to assist in holding the clothes in place, criss-cross straps are provided for the same purpose, and straps at the bottom of the bag hold long garments in place. Further, the bag hanging hook extending from the top of the bag can be adjustably positioned to hold the bag in folded position.
