Abstract

A luggage system having a removable decorative storage crown for receiving and temporarily storing clothing items, such as suit jackets, uniforms, costumes, or other items using the same device that is used as a pull-handle. A stand element can be unfolded from the base of the luggage to act as a support, preventing the device from tipping when in a clothing rack orientation, but which can simply fold away when the luggage is being transported. A telescoping rod terminating in a cap may extend from the decorative storage crown for hanging hangers from the rod.
