Abstract:
An article of luggage includes a garment bag enclosure and a packing case enclosure which advantageously cooperate with one another in a transportation state or condition and a use state or condition. The packing case enclosure is preferably connected to an inner panel of the garment bag enclosure. In the transportation condition, the garment bag enclosure folds over the top of the packing case enclosure and the luggage article is easily transported by carrying devices attached preferably to the exterior panel of the garment bag enclosure. In the use orientation, the interior panel of the garment bag enclosure is disconnected, and the packing case enclosure moves or pivots outward to an extended orientation. A divider panel provides access to the interior of the packing case enclosure while access to the garment bag enclosure is simultaneously available as a result of the detachment of the interior panel. In the use condition in which the packing case enclosure is in the extended orientation, the luggage article can be used to house garments on hangers and other smaller items within the packing case enclosure, thereby avoiding the necessity for unpacking and repacking the luggage article.

Abstract:
Garment bags have been designed to carry garments on hangers, but have resulted in varying capabilities to help resist wrinkling these hanging garments during transport and storage. Disclosed is a garment bag with an arrangement of auxiliary pockets and compartments to help resists wrinkling. Specifically, one or more generally semi-cylindrical shaped pockets extend across the width dimension of the main packing compartment of the garment bag. When the bag is packed and folded in its transport configuration, the hanging garments fold or drape around these packed cylinder shaped compartments thus the garments are less likely to wrinkle.
