What is a "garment bag"?

A garment bag is a type of luggage designed to store and transport clothing items such as suits, dresses, and coats, without wrinkling or damaging them. These bags are typically made of lightweight and durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or canvas, and often feature a zipper or a hook-and-loop closure to keep the contents secure. Garment bags can be carried by hand or over the shoulder and can come in various sizes, with some designed to accommodate multiple outfits and others tailored for a single item. They are commonly used by travelers, business professionals, and performers to protect their formal wear and maintain a polished appearance.
