A collapsible luggage for a motorcycle comprising three rigid panels hinged together forming the base or bottom, forward upright and top. The bottom panel is rectangular in planular outline, the forward upright panel is trapezoidal in planular outline and the top panel is rectangular in planular outline, each thereof being dimensionally reduced from the preceding panel to which it is hingedly connected. The balance of the sides comprise a flexible material, the rearward side of which is formed with a zippered opening, the bottom edge of which is releasably buttoned to the rear edge of the bottom panel. The bottom side of the base panel is provided with fixed forward clamping members and a rearward pivotable clamp for releasable connection to the cross bars of a conventional luggage rack of a motorcycle. A belt means is provided adjacent the top of the front upright panel for carrying the luggage when dismounted from the luggage rack and for encircling the back rest of the motorcycle seat when attached to the luggage rack. One of the novel functions of the progressively diminishing dimensions of rigid panels, besides providing a streamlined appearance, is that the folding pattern for the flexible sides remains constant with a minimum of manual guiding when it is desired to collapse the luggage panels. Also, the collapsed luggage may serve as a briefcase in that entrance for flat material such as papers and files may be gained for insertion thereof by unbuttoning the flexible material connected to the rear edge of the bottom panel.
