Foldable Covers with Carry Handles
Foldable covers with carry handles keep the garment hanging in the closet, then fold in half and become a bag when you leave home. The category includes 180 cm covers that fold to about 60×90 cm, in breathable non-woven or water-repellent PEVA, in white and black, and a 60×100 cm cover for suits and jackets. For evening dresses, suits, coats and handing a garment over to a customer.

One cover for the closet and for the road
A regular 180 cm garment cover is hard to carry: you hold it up high and the bottom drags on the floor getting into the car, on the stairs or in the venue. A foldable cover has handles that let you fold it in half, with the garment hanging inside on its hanger, and carry it in one hand. At home it opens back to full length and hangs in the closet like any other cover. This category is part of Dress and Suit Covers.

How to choose a foldable cover
Garment length: a 180 cm cover comfortably holds a garment up to about 165 cm long. For a jacket or a suit with the trousers folded over the hanger, 60×100 cm is enough.
Material: breathable non-woven is better when the garment also stays in the cover in the closet for a long time. PEVA is better when the garment often leaves home, especially in winter and on rainy days.
Color: black hides the garment and keeps it discreet, for example when handing over a wedding dress. White gives a bright, clean look.
Volume: the foldable covers are flat. For a full dress with petticoats or a wide train, a gusseted cover from Bridal and Evening Dress Covers is a better fit.
How to fold and carry without creasing
Hang the garment straight inside the cover, arrange the shoulders and skirt, and close the zipper all the way.
Fold once, at the waistline of the garment rather than across the chest, so the fold falls where there are fewer embellishments.
Join the handles and carry it in one hand. In the car, lay the folded cover on the back seat, not at the bottom of the trunk under bags.
On arrival, open the cover and hang the garment right away so the fold line does not set into the fabric.
Carry one garment per cover. Two heavy garments strain the handles and the zipper.
When a foldable cover makes the difference
Traveling to a wedding, a conference or a family event with a suit or an evening dress.
Flying to an event abroad, when the garment must arrive without creases. Check your airline's rules for carrying a garment bag in advance.
Handing over a dress from the studio, the dressmaker or the salon, when the customer carries it herself.
Moving between locations for photo shoots, performances and fashion productions.
Moving house, when garments travel on their hangers and go straight into the new closet.
For businesses
Designers, dressmakers, tailors, bridal salons, rental shops and dry cleaners hand over long garments every day, and a cover with handles spares the customer a plastic bag that tears on the way.

To keep the garment's shoulders in shape on the way, hang it on a wide wooden hanger.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a 180 cm cover when folded?
A 60×180 cm cover folds in half to about 60×90 cm, with the garment still hanging inside on its hanger. At this size you carry it in one hand and lay it on a car seat without the hem dragging.
Which foldable cover suits a suit?
For a jacket or a suit with the trousers folded over the hanger bar, the breathable cover with handles 60x100 cm is the right choice, with a top handle and a bottom handle that meet when you fold it in half. For a long coat or a suit hung full length, choose a 180 cm cover.
Where should I fold the cover so the dress does not crease?
Fold once, at the waistline of the dress rather than across the chest, after the zipper is fully closed and the garment lies straight inside. That way the fold passes through an area with fewer embellishments and structured seams. Hang the dress as soon as you arrive.
Does a wedding dress fit in a foldable cover?
A fitted or flowing wedding dress up to about 165 cm long fits in a 60×180 cm foldable cover. For a full dress with petticoats, tulle or a wide train, the foldable covers are too flat, and a cover with a 25 cm gusset from Bridal and Evening Dress Covers is better.
Is a foldable cover also suitable for permanent hanging in the closet?
Yes. When open it is a regular full-length cover with a hanger opening, and it hangs in the closet like any other cover. The non-woven models breathe and also suit long-term storage, while the PEVA models are better for transport and short-term hanging. Compare the materials in Non-Woven Garment Covers.
