Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0001] Women business travelers, vacationers, and students carry a
variety of necessary items with them. Items such as lap tops,
paperwork, cell phones, and other electronic devices. They also
carry water bottles, lunch or snacks, a sweater or light coat, and
possibly an umbrella. Business women often carry an extra pair of
shoes for walking around the city, or catching a commuter train.
This bag is designed to organize these items, and make them more
manageable.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0002] A travel bag that looks like a hand bag. It has a strap with

devices, water bottle and food items. The compartment for the water
bottle and food items is water repellent and insulated. It also has
a retractable hidden compartment for shoes or other items,
separating them from the contents of the main bag.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] A travel bag that has a strap that is partially attached to
the body of the bag with snaps (B, drawing 1-5). These snaps, when
separated from the body and pulled through the top two O-rings (A,
drawing 1-5), allow the strap to re-configure into a back pack
(drawing 4-5).
[0025] A travel bag that has an exterior laptop computer
compartment (E, drawing 2-5) with a zipper closure.
[0026] A travel bag that has a water repellent insulated pouch
inside with a zipper closure (F, drawing 3-5).
[0027] A travel bag that has an expandable compartment (D, drawing
1-5 and G, drawing 3-5) at its base that can be used for shoes or
other items to separate them from the rest of the bag. It expands,
retracts, and closes with the use of a separating zipper (L,
drawing 5-5). It also contains a regular zipper (M, drawing 5-5)
for entry into compartment. There are two plackets at the top and
bottom of this compartment (H and J, drawing 3-5) that hide the
zippers when the compartment is closed. The top placket (H), when
closed with separating zipper L), overlaps the bottom placket (I),
concealing bottom placket and the entire compartment.
