ABSTRACT:
An improved garment-bag and hanger, used by travelers to organize, store, secure, and transport garments between various locations. The "SuitFolio" is a portfolio for either suits or dresses, resembling an artist's portfolio in design and function. The overall book-like concept for the "SuitFolio" enables each garment to be stored and accessed on one single `Page` in a manner similar to that which an artist would store and present their artwork via their portfolio. The uniqueness of the "SuitFolio" lies in its innovative, built-in hanger-system, which floats freely within a page-like covering, and is attached to the inside shell of the "SuitFolio" by means of spiral binding; thus enabling each `Page` to turn without complication. In addition, garments stored and transported within the "SuitFolio" are folded in a longitudinal manner, unlike conventional garment-bags, which fold garments in the unnatural, latitudinal fashion; thereby facilitating undesirable wrinkling of such garments.
