Claim:
An improved luggage bag having a perimeter side wall, a geuerally planar front face wall and a geuerally planar back face wall spaced therefrom by a full height dimension, said face walls and perimeter wall defining therebetween an interior packing volume having a dimension in a longitudinal direction, a dimension in a lateral direction, and said hight dimension defined between said face walls, the improvement comprising: a) both said face walls are openable for selective access to the interior packing volume; b) each of said face walls has a closure assembly to provide secure closure of said face wall; c) a stowage cell assembly comprising an array of a plurality of adjoined cells made of stretch fabric material oriented so that said cell array has a variable size in both said longitudinal and said lateral direction depending on the stretch imparted thereto, and each said cell in said array has a height dimension equal to or less than the height dimension of said bag to provide a predetermined head space in said bag, each said cell having an axis parallel to said height dimension and spaced opposed ends that are openable upon stretching said fabric, said stretch fabric material stretches around and grippingly retains goods placed in said cells through either end thereof, said plurality of selectively accessible cells is secured in said interior packing volume of said bag oriented orthogonally to the plane of said faces for isolation packing and unpacking of goods; and d) said face walls and said stowage cell assembly are cooperatingly orthogonally oriented to permit, upon selectively opening either of both face walls, bi-directional access to said interior stowage cell assembly in order to introduce goods into said cells and to remove goods packed in said cells without disturbing goods in adjacent cells and goods in said head space on the side opposite the face wall selected for access.
