Abstract
A collapsible bag arrangement includes a compartment for holding articles having at least a first side, a second side and a bottom. At least the first and second sides are constructed of a foldable material. A bottom strip has a middle portion, a first end portion and a second end portion. The first and second end portions are of bendable construction and extend outward beyond the length of the first and second sides. The first piece of a two-piece fastener attaches to the first portion of the bottom strip and the second piece of the two-piece fastener attaches to the second portion of the bottom strip. The arrangement is such that the first and second sides of the compartment are foldable to conform generally to the size and shape of the bottom strip and the first and second sides and the bottom of the compartment and the bottom strip are bendable to permit removably mating of the two-piece fastener so that the compartment is collapsed and maintained substantially within the perimeter of the bottom strip formed when the first and second portions of the bottom strip are fastened together.
