Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015177524A1] An article of luggage (2) is disclosed comprising a first portion ((4), (104), (204), (304), (404)), a second portion ((6), (106), (206), (306), (406)), the first and second portions being hingedly connected for movement between a closed position and an open position, and a zip fastener ((50), (150), (250), (350), (450)) for releasably securing the first portion ((4), (104), (204), (304), (404)) of the article of luggage to the second portion ((6), (106), (206), (306), (406)) of the article of luggage in the closed position to define an internal storage volume between the first and second portions of the article of luggage, in which the article of luggage further comprises retention means ((60), (160), (260), (360), (460)) in use extending across the zip fastener ((50), (150), (250), (350), (450)) and in part permanently secured to one of the first and second portions. It is an advantage that this construction allows for the first and second portions of the article of luggage easily to be zipped together while providing additional means to keep the first and second portions of the article of luggage together in the event of failure of the zip mechanism.
