[[File:KirstenCarpetbag.jpg|thumb|300px|Kirsten's Carpet Bag, an example of a Traveling Case.]]'''Traveling Cases''' are carrying cases for the [[Historical Characters]]. These are associated with the [[Central Series Story Patterns#Winter Books|Winter Books]].

Traveling cases generally served as an example of traveling suitcases/bags for an era, such as trunks and carpet bags, in contrast to the larger [[Storage Trunks and Cabinets|storage trunks]], which were designed for in-home storage. These generally did not hold large amounts of items, and could generally only carry a small accessory set or a single folded outfit. They were often shown in catalogs with the [[Historical Underclothes]] or [[Winter Amusements]]. 

No character after Addy Walker received this kind of traveling suitcase<ref>The exception is [[Melody's Travel Essentials]], which include a round suitcase.</ref> and were instead given other winter activities. Almost all of these are now [[Retirement|retired]], though Samantha received a re-release in her [[Samantha's Travel Bag Set|travel bag set]].
