Travel suit bag
Business people value time. They do not always have the opportunity to iron a suit just before a business meeting. An accessory such as a portlet comes to the rescue. Agree, it is much more respectable to carry suits in it than in a large plastic case. To date, the bag has become an integral part of the image of a modern business person.
What is the suitcase called?
The word "portlet" came to us from the French language, where it means a cover for carrying a blanket. At the beginning of its history, such a product was an ordinary soft travel bag that was used to transport bed linen.
Also, the word "portlet" refers to a bag of straps for carrying blankets. In the modern world, a portlet is a special travel case made of waterproof fabric for transporting business suits or evening dresses, which folds in half.

How to choose
If you have a business trip or a solemn event far from home, the bag will become an indispensable thing.With him, the suit or dress will arrive in the same form in which they got into the travel case. In order to choose the right and high-quality portlet, you need to follow the following tips.
First you need to decide for what purposes you need a portlet. How many things will be carried in it. Having decided on these nuances, you can easily choose the type of travel cover.
If you need to transport no more than one set of clothes, then a soft bag is perfect for such an occasion. For a business trip for a couple of days, it is better to choose a bag. It is more capacious than a padded suit case. Well, if a long trip is expected, then a bag on wheels will become indispensable. In such a model, both costumes and many different, useful little things will fit.
When you have decided on the purpose of the purchase, then you should pay attention to the material from which the bag is made. Often it is the material that affects the price of the product.
If you want to buy an inexpensive cover for suits, you should choose models made of soft synthetic materials. But besides the reasonable price, such covers have some disadvantages. Synthetics can let in moisture or absorb some odors. For people who are not accustomed to saving on their appearance, we advise you to pay attention to the leather models of the bag. They have a rigid frame, do not allow moisture to pass through and, moreover, do not absorb odors. It is worth remembering that a hard and dense material will more reliably save clothes than a soft one.
And the last thing you should definitely pay attention to is the internal content of the portlet. Elements such as a hanger, straps for fixing clothes, a carrying handle, a shoulder strap and a hook by which the cover can be hung must be present.
Manufacturing companies supplement the internal content of the portfolio in different ways. For example, these can be classic models with one large compartment or portlets that open in three different positions. There may also be portlets with division for shoes.
Material
Portlets are made from a variety of materials. Their value depends on what they are made of. More often, polyester, nylon or genuine leather are used for the production of portlets. These materials are used because they are moisture-resistant, dirt-repellent, dense and do not wrinkle, it is their qualities that reliably keep clothes safe and sound.
- Recently, ballistic nylon bags have become popular. This material is distinguished by its special strength, density and wear resistance.
- Of course, expensive models are made of genuine leather, thanks to which the clothes, after being removed from the case, have a perfect appearance. Such products, as a rule, are used less frequently due to their high cost. They belong to status things, and not to a simple travel case. They are often used as gifts.
But even among the cheaper models you can find very decent options. They may have one shoulder strap or two small handles.
