Portable accessory organizer pack

Abstract

A portable accessory organizer pack for storing, organizing and transporting personal articles and accessories along with the pack is provided by an organizer pack having a pouch body with a pair of pouch walls hingedly coupled to a base section and a covering flap and that is configurable between a first position wherein a set of interior storage compartments in the pouch walls and covering flap may all be accessible at one time to facilitate packing and unpacking activities to a narrow profile, ready for transport configuration that further forms a central cavity selectively coverable by the covering flap and providing additional storage space to that already provided by the other internal storage compartments for maximizing storage space.
