Abstract: A foldable garment carrier bag with a central chamber for suits or dresses closed by a cover with a zipper. A flap containing several pockets on both of its sides is sewn into the bottom welting and, a side pocket is formed and sewn into the welting on the two opposed sidewalls adjacent the flap.

Abstract: A handle for a luggage case made of two longitudinal spaced apart rows of heavy cord of twisted material with an outer piece of fabric material folded longitudinally around the two rows and sewn along a longitudinal centerline to form a strap. The cords are centrally located and of a length such that it determines the length of the handle and forms a substantially rigid, padded central portion of the handle. The opposite ends of the formed strap are free of the corded fabric, are slid through attachment loops, and folded under until the ends substantially come together thereby forming a lower and upper layer for the handle. A sleeve is wrapped around the juncture of the ends, and both upper and lower layers are fixed together.

Abstract: A front cover with a pocket for a carrying case comprising a backing sheet with an array of panel sections and a pocket overlapping the edges of the panels and the exposed area of the backing sheet such that the pocket is a single thickness of skin material. Gussets are made along the longitudinal sides of the pocket so that it extends outwardly on the front cover. Securement of the pocket and panel sections onto the backing sheet is done by sewing and including the panels and pocket into the welt around the outer peripheral edge of the front cover.

Abstract: A handle assembly for a luggage case having a hand-grip member made of a heavy cord of twisted material formed into two rows longitudinally and closely spaced together with an outer piece of fabric material folded around and sewn along the central longitudinal line to provide a substantially central portion of said element. A piece of leather may be folded over said heavy cord of material underlying the fabric material and sewn along the central longitudinal line. In addition, a length of strap may be arranged along the length of the hand-grip member to add rigidity thereto. A piece of leather is brought through a loop and fixedly attached to the ends of the hand-grip member, and a fabric piece of material is brought through the other side of the loop to form an anchoring portion for attachment to the luggage case.
