Stow-N-Go Portable Luggage System: This product provides an easy way for travelers to pack and unpack (literally in seconds), save space and keep their clothes relatively wrinkle-free. A three-tiered portable shelving and travel organizer, the Stow-N-Go can be loaded while suspended by steel hooks from a home closet rod, collapsed and latched when filled, and then placed inside a suitcase. Upon reaching a destination, just release the straps, unfurl it and hang it in the hotel room's closet. Stow-N-Go, which includes a zippered compartment for laundry, fits 20-inch and larger bags, with the regular unit measuring 11.8 by 11.8 by 25.2 inches and the wider-shelf unit measuring 17.8 inches. $24.99/$29.99; grandfusionhousewares.com/product-category/travel/.
