The semirigid panel defines the profile of the upper portion of the bag and supports the upper hanger strap from which garments are supported. A conventional and flexible bag wall is provided with the bag opening, typically a zipper, to obtain access to the interior of the bag. On the other side of the semirigid panel from the exterior of the bag "back pack" type shoulder straps are fastened. The back pack shoulder straps are attached about the shoulders of the wearer to impart a slight arcurate bend to the semirigid panel with such bending occuring about an axis parallel to the spine of the bag wearer. Preferably, a waist strap is additionally utilized and similarly tightened to reinforce the arch.
