A collapsible bag

A bag capable of collapsing into a smaller configuration, the bag comprising:

• a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, the walls coupled together to form the bag;
• a closure means formed on the top wall for providing access to the bag;
• and
• a zipper comprising a first zipper track and a second zipper track for facilitating the smaller configuration of the bag by joining the first zipper to the second zipper;
• wherein the first zipper track is formed on the bag beginning at a portion of a bottom panel and extending substantially diagonal from the bottom panel along the rear wall to a first central end of the top wall where the rear wall and the first central end meet, the first zipper track continuing to extend from the top wall to the front wall to the bottom wall and to the rear wall and back to the top wall such that the first zipper track goes around a perimeter of the first side wall;
• wherein the second zipper track is formed on the bag beginning at a portion of the bottom wall and extending substantially diagonal from the bottom wall along the rear wall to a second central end of the top wall where the top wall and the second central end meet, the first zipper track continuing to extend from the top wall to the front wall to the bottom wall to the rear wall and back to the top wall such that the first zipper track goes around a perimeter of the second side wall;
• and
• wherein the zipper further comprises a zipper slider for coupling the first zipper track and the second zipper track, wherein the bag collapses into the smaller configuration upon the coupling of the first and the second zipper tracks.

A method for forming a collapsible bag that converts from a larger configuration to a smaller configuration, the method comprising:

• providing a first sidewall and a second sidewall interconnected by a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and a top wall;
• disposing a first zipper track into the bottom wall connecting between a portion of the bottom wall and a first position, the first position proximally located between the first sidewall and the top wall;
• wherein the first zipper track continues to extend from the first position along a contour of the collapsible bag along the top wall, the front wall, the bottom wall, the rear wall back to the top wall;
• and
• disposing a second zipper track into the bottom wall opposite to the first zipper track, the second zipper track located between the portion of the bottom wall and a second position, the second position proximally located between the second sidewall and the top wall;
• wherein the second zipper track continues to extend from the second position along the contour of the collapsible bag along the top wall, the front wall, the bottom wall, the rear wall and back to the top wall.
