Abstract: This invention relates to an expandable item of luggage. This enables a luggage item to be expanded to accommodate an increased volume of luggage. The luggage item is defined by a base, front, back, side and top portion. The base and top portions are spaced in a longitudinal axis and define a storage zone therebetween. The luggage item further comprises an expansion arrangement configured to enable expansion of the top portion independently of the front portion in the longitudinal axis between a retracted and expanded configuration to cause an effective increase in the volume of the storage zone.
