1. Historical background
The travel four-piece set (usually referred to as a toiletry bag, storage bag, foldable slippers, eye mask/earbud combination) traces its origins to the custom leather toiletry bags used by European aristoclacies traveling in the 19th century. In the early 20th century, with the popularity of railroads and ocean liners, portable travel supplies became popular. After World War II, the explosive growth of aviation gave birth to the concept of the modern travel four-piece, with brands such as Samsonite and Rimowa introducing lightweight storage solutions. After the 21st century, business travel and lifestyle upgrades have made four-piece sets the standard for exquisite travel, and new forms such as environmental protection and intelligence have been derived.
