1. A collapsible luggage bag comprising:
a cover comprising:
a back portion connected to a first side portion and a second side portion;
a front flap removably connected to the first side portion, the second side portion, and the back portion by a connection member;

a base connected to the back portion, the first side portion, the second side portion, and the front flap, wherein:
the base is fixedly connected to the back portion, the first side portion, the second side portion, and the front flap;
the front flap, the back portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion define an interior chamber for receiving items for transport;
the back portion, the first side portion, the second side portion, and the front flap, comprise a plurality of panels;
the plurality of panels comprises a first panel zone proximate the base, a second panel zone adjacent the first panel zone in a direction away from the base, a third panel zone adjacent the second panel zone in a direction away from the base, a fourth panel zone adjacent the third panel zone in a direction away from the base, and a fifth panel zone adjacent the fourth panel zone in a direction away from the base;
each of the panel zones extends around a circumference defined by a portion of the back portion, first side portion, second side portion, and the front flap, wherein:
the panels of the first panel zone are rectangular in shape;
the panels of the second panel zone are square in shape, wherein the square shape is defined by two separate triangular panels having an angled fold there between;
the second panel zone includes an arcuate portion of the front flap;
the panels of the third, fourth, and fifth panel zones are trapezoidal in shape;

the front flap is selectively disconnected from the back portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion to allow any desired number of panel zones to bend or fold over a desired fold in the front flap and thereby provide varying amounts of access to the interior chamber, wherein:
a first access opening position is defined when the collapsible luggage bag is in an upright position, and the connection member partially disengages with the first and second side portions, thereby partially exposing the interior chamber; and
a second access opening position is defined when the connection member fully disengages with the first and second side portions so that the front flap is no longer connected with the back portion the first side portion, and the second side portion, thereby fully exposing the interior chamber.
