A piece of baggage is provided with a retractable pocket that is configured to support a beverage container on the exterior of the piece of baggage. The pocket is constructed of a mesh material and has an elastic strap along an upper edge that allows the pocket to expand to support various size containers, such as bottled water. When not in use, the pocket can be held collapsed against or inside the piece of baggage by a closure mechanism such as a zipper. This conceals the pocket to improve the aesthetic appearance of the piece of baggage and reduces the risk of snagging the mesh pocket as the piece of baggage is transported.

What is claimed: 1. A beverage container holder for a baggage, comprising: a collapsible pocket extending adjacent and accessible from a substantially flat exterior surface of the baggage, the pocket being positionable between an expanded position extending outwardly from the exterior surface and a collapsed position wherein the collapsible pocket lies in a substantially flat position against the exterior surface of the baggage, the pocket being resiliently expandable to support a beverage container against the baggage in an upright position parallel to the exterior surface of the baggage when the pocket is in the expanded position; and a closure mechanism positionable in an open position and a closed position, the closure mechanism exposing the collapsible pocket when the closure mechanism is in the open position and the closure mechanism concealing the collapsible pocket in the collapsed position when the closure mechanism is in the closed position; wherein the collapsible pocket comprises a mesh material and an elastic member attached to the mesh material. 2. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein: the collapsible pocket comprises a mesh material and an elastic member attached to the mesh material. 3. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein: the mesh material is completely concealed when the closure mechanism is in the closed position. 4. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein: the pocket is bounded on at least one side by a portion of the exterior surface of the baggage. 5. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein: a portion of the exterior surface proximate the collapsible pocket is water repellant. 6. The beverage container holder of claim 1, further comprising: a shroud attached to the collapsible pocket and to the exterior surface of the baggage, the shroud being configured to conceal the collapsible pocket when the closure mechanism is in the closed position. 7. The beverage container holder of claim 1, further comprising: a shroud attached to the collapsible pocket, wherein the shroud is fabricated from the same material used to fashion the exterior surface of the baggage. 8. The beverage container holder claim 1, further comprising: a shroud fixed to the baggage, the shroud including a downwardly extending slit therein, the collapsible pocket extending between the opposite edges of the slit when in the expanded position. 9. The beverage container holder of claim 1, further comprising: a shroud fixed to the baggage, the shroud including a downwardly extending slit therein, the closure mechanism attached to opposite edges of the slit. 10. The beverage container holder of claim 1, further comprising: a generally rectangular shroud having opposite side edges and opposite top and bottom edges, the shroud portion having a substantially centered slit extending from the top edge towards the bottom edge, the opposite edges of the slit being configured to separate and expose the collapsible pocket, and the closure being configured to hold the opposite edges of the slit together when the closure is in the closed position to thereby hold the pocket in the collapsed position. 11. A piece of baggage, comprising: a body defining at least one compartment, the body having an end and an exterior surface on the end; a flexible pocket comprising a mesh material connected to the end and extending vertically for supporting a beverage container in an upright position between a surface of the pocket and the exterior surface of the end, and a vertical closure mechanism that is moveable between opened and closed positions, the closure mechanism being operatively connected to the piece of baggage in a position where the closure mechanism conceals the flexible pocket as it is moved to its closed position and, where it reveals the flexible material as it is moved to its opened position. 12. The piece of baggage of claim 11, wherein: the closure mechanism comprises a shroud configured to cover the flexible pocket when the closure mechanism is in the closed position, the shroud being sufficiently resilient so that the flexible pocket may be pulled from beneath the shroud for use. 13. A piece of baggage comprising: a retractable flexible pocket fashioned as part of the baggage, and a receptacle for the pocket, the pocket having a top edge and a bottom edge with the receptacle extending vertically therebetween for supporting a beverage container in an upright position, an exterior surface of the baggage defining a portion of the receptacle, the receptacle having a closure mechanism for concealing the pocket within the receptacle; wherein the flexible pocket comprises a mesh material and an elastic strap extending along an edge of the mesh material. 14. The piece of baggage of claim 13 wherein: the receptacle comprises a shroud mounted to the exterior surface of the piece of baggage, the shroud having a slit extending along a length thereof, the closure mechanism comprising a device for closing the slit. 15.
