## Abstract

Top-opening bag (1) for carrying textiles, having a semi-rigid flap (2) cut out to be positioned along a lower part of a front opening (102) of a washing or drying machine (100), and provided with means (4) for holding the flap against the wall of the machine around the door opening so as to allow the textiles to be transferred between the bag and the drum of the machine, the flap (2) being further attached to a rear vertical wall (8) of the bag made of a sheet of semi-rigid material. The flap (2) and said rear vertical wall (8) are connected to one another by a rectangular strip (7) of a material that is more flexible than said semi-rigid material.
