A suitcase includes pivotally attached first and second shells, and latch means for releasably securing the shells when closed. A partition divides the second shell into first and second compartments. Second and third partitions sub-divide the second compartment into first, second, and third sub-compartments adapted to separately store two pairs of shoes, and a blow-dryer. A transparent flap releasably seals the shoe compartments using Velcro, preventing egress of dislodged debris. Fishnet secures the blow-dryer in the third sub-compartment. The first compartment receives a correspondingly shaped case that is partitioned to form a plurality of shaped sub-compartments, to receive correspondingly shaped toiletry items. A pivotal cover seals the case, and alternatively supports it in a selective upright position for hygienic display/use on a vanity countertop of a hotel room. A third shell is pivotally coupled to the second shell to form a tri-fold arrangement for use with a hotel luggage rack. |
