valise
Small luggage piece
A valise is a small piece of luggage, typically a traveling bag or suitcase.
The word sounds old-fashioned in American English, evoking an era of steamships and railway travel: She packed her valise for the journey.
In military contexts, a valise may refer specifically to a soldier's kit bag.
