Item Storage Bag

Abstract

A bag with pockets is an apparatus used to store items for later usage. The apparatus is configured to contain smaller items separately from larger items, thus facilitating location and subsequent removal of smaller items. The apparatus includes a main receptacle, a first pocket, and a main closure. The main receptacle is the larger space into which the user may place larger items. The first pocket is a smaller space proximal to the main receptacle that allows for storage of smaller items separately from larger items. The main closure is a fastener that secures the main receptacle and the first pocket in the closed position, thus preventing items from exiting the apparatus accidentally. This arrangement ensures that the user has convenient space for items of all sizes. The user no longer has to search for small items at the bottom of a bag amidst larger items.
