Vinyl Garment Bag
If you’re looking for a garment bag that will contain one or more garments and travel easily from point A to point B, a vinyl garment bag may be in your future. Vinyl garment bags are handy for transporting band uniforms, theater costumes and dancewear through town or cross-continent. In general, they contain no other features besides plenty of space for hanging clothing: they are usually uncluttered by pouches, pockets, wheels or other “space-saving” devices. And because of their slimmed-down functionality, vinyl garment bags are ideal for no-fuss travel.
Vinyl is an extremely useful product, and fitting for garment bags as it resists tearing, water and corrosion. Invented in the 1920’s, it was soon being made into raincoats, rain boots and shower curtains. Its usefulness as a garment bag is undisputed. What better container to carry a freshly-pressed suit through the rain without worrying about getting it wet or wrinkled?
Vinyl is also known to be flame-retardant, which makes it a natural choice in dry-cleaning establishments. Dry-cleaners, until the recent discovery of CO2 cleaning, have historically been somewhat volatile from their reliance on petrochemical cleaning fluids, and vinyl garment bags lessen the chances of fire.
Vinyl garment bags are available in any color of the rainbow. Many vinyl garment bags produced today are clear as well, making it easy to see the contents without having to open the bag. Plastic self-correcting or self-healing zippers complete the functionality of the best vinyl garment bags: you won’t get stuck on the Paris train with a partially zipped bag, so your evening wear will be perfect when you arrive at the hotel.
