Removable Luggage Storage Accessory

Abstract

A removable luggage storage accessory is an apparatus that creates additional external storage on luggage to retain items in a readily accessible manner. The apparatus may include a fabric sleeve, a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, and at least one shoulder strap. The fabric sleeve enables the creation of an external storage space large enough to retain various items readily accessible outside the luggage. The first clamping mechanism serves as a closure that can be selectively opened to retrieve items retained within the fabric sleeve. The second clamping mechanism prevents the items retained within the fabric sleeve from falling out. The at least one shoulder strap enables the user to carry the apparatus from the shoulder when the apparatus is used as a carry-on bag. The at least one shoulder strap also enable the apparatus to be hanged from an object or to be carried as a handbag.
