These Collapsible Bags Are Travelers' Best-kept Secret for Fitting 3 Weeks' Worth of Clothes in a Carry-on-From $16

"Travel bags take up a ton of storage space in your home when not in use. A typical full-size suitcase is 27 inches tall, 24 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, which can be hard to find a place to store, let alone the other travel bags you have, such as carry-ons, weekenders, toiletry bags, and more. To save precious space, one genius workaround is investing in collapsible travel bags that fold up to almost nothing, which means you can fit more in less space."

"The Foldie is "the original foldable travel bag" that collapses down into an 11-inch-by-7-inch flat pouch so you can store it easily at home or pack it in your carry-on to use when you reach your destination. It unfurls into an 18-inch-by-12-inch duffel that can hold about 30 liters and slide under most plane seats. Use the bottom expansion feature to add a couple of inches and boost its capacity by a whopping 25 percent."
