Abstract
A luggage item has a frame that includes a top pan and a bottom pan that are joined by towing bar-receiving tubes. A body of flexible material is fitted to the frame. The frame and body are free of elements along the top wall, bottom wall and the side walls that inhibit folding of the top wall, bottom wall and the side walls along fold lines intermediate the front wall and back wall so that the front part of the bag can be collapsed toward the back wall to substantially reduce the volume of the bag.
