Travel bag

Abstract

The present invention allows for a travel bag for clothing transport and storage which is portable and compact, enabling the business and non-business traveler to transport and store a small amount (e.g., a complete day's worth) of clothing in his/her briefcase, unhampered by the need to hand carry and/or account for an extra bag of luggage. The travel bag allows for separate holding structures for each type of article of clothing, assuring the traveler that the articles will remain in an unmixed state and thus permitting the traveler to readily access a particular piece of clothing without the necessity to unpack the other items.
