Abstract
A multipurpose carrying case made up of a main compartment in which a binder with a ring has been mounted, which allows a user to secure hole-punched leaves and other business-related items. A pocket and a flap attached to the exterior of the main compartment may be used to secure other objects, thereby giving a user convenient access to especially-needed items without requiring opening of the compartment. Fasteners within the compartment and underneath the flap permit the user to attach to the carrying case small purses in which personal effects might be kept.
