holdall

Soft luggage piece

A holdall is a large soft bag with handles, used for carrying clothes and personal belongings when traveling.

The term is primarily British; Americans would typically call the same item a duffel bag or carryall.

Unlike structured luggage, a holdall is flexible and can be stuffed into tight spaces.
