Why You'll Love This Pattern
Ultimate Travel Bag opens wide so the whole interior is easy to reach, then zips closed to keep everything in place. Zippered pockets on the front, back, and ends, plus a full zippered pocket inside, sort the small things instead of letting them settle to the bottom.
It is built for travel. Side handles and an adjustable padded strap carry it by hand or over the shoulder, and the trolley sleeve on the back slides over a suitcase handle so it rides along with rolling luggage. Soft and Stable and a clear acrylic base give the bag structure that holds its shape packed or empty.
