Holder for articles and accessories

Abstract

A holder for articles includes a plurality of panels, each panel having a pocket adapted for containing an article, the panels serially joined to one another along one edge by a flexible hinge such that the panels and hinges comprise a flexible homogeneous structure. The homogeneous structure can be arranged in an open condition in which the panels are laid out flat and can be arranged in a closed condition in which the panels are folded up so that two of the panels comprise outer panels. The closing loop is attached to one of the panels, such that the loop can be stretched around the folded up panels in the closed condition to stretch around the panels, thereby holding the panels in the closed condition.
