# Expandable Travel Totes The Property of 'Travel Maxi Bag' is Cleverly Compact By Vivian Lau | Published 2012-08-11 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-maxi-bag References: [selectism](http://www.selectism.com/2012/08/06/property-of-maxi-travel-bag/) & [thepropertyof](http://thepropertyof.com) The Property Of 'Travel [Maxi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) Bag' is a functional carry-on piece that is perfectly suited to heavy use and cleverly compact when stored. This bulk orange tote is made of [nylon material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nylon-tote-bags), save for its bottom. The base is made of leather, which acts as a sturdy storage tube for the light cloth that makes up the rest of the bag. The travelling companion shrinks to a third of its original size in two quick steps. It is fastened in its [compact form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanobag-daypack) with reliable straps. Since people own multiple bags like shoulder ones for work, purses and carry-on duffles, it is easy for them to pile up and take up space. Instead of cramming them all in a closet, the Maxi bag offers a tidy solution for those stuck in small spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Travel Bags:** Opportunity to design and manufacture innovative travel bags that can be easily compacted for storage. - **Functional Carry-on Pieces:** Opportunity to create carry-on bags that are not only functional for travel but also cleverly designed to maximize storage space. - **Space-saving Storage Solutions:** Opportunity to develop innovative storage solutions for individuals with limited space, such as collapsible bags. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel Bag Manufacturing:** Opportunity for manufacturers to specialize in the production of compact and functional travel bags. - **Home Organization Products:** Opportunity for companies in the home organization industry to create space-saving storage solutions for individuals with limited space. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to incorporate functionality and compactness in their travel bag designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adjustable Expansive Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telescopic-luggage-bag.md) - [Hybrid Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taskin-swift.md) - [Sustainably Functional Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-apex-everyday-tote.md) - [Collapsible Space-Saving Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jollying-pebble-suitcase.md) - [Luggage Compression Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wandr-w36.md) - [Travel-Ready Toiletry Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-toiletry-bag1.md) - [Vibrant Packing Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compressible-packing-cubes.md) - [Triple-Style Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tefors-ultimatum-bag.md) - [Capaciously Stylish Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-travel-backpacks.md)
