The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a zipper slider connected between the first zipper track and the second zipper track for coupling the first zipper track and the second zipper track along the contour of the collapsible bag to facilitate concealing entire surfaces of the bottom wall, the front wall, the top wall, and the rear wall from the view of a user while the first side wall, the second sidewall, the first zipper track, the second zipper track, and the zipper slider are exposed for viewing by the user when the first zipper track is coupled to the second zipper track by the zipper slider. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the bottom wall, the front wall, the top wall, and the rear wall are completely enclosed by the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the first zipper track, the second zipper track, and the zipper slider that are exposed for viewing by the user when the first zipper track is completely coupled to the second zipper track by the zipper slider. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first handle coupled to a first end at the first sidewall and a second end at the second sidewall. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the first handle is coupled outside of the first zipper track and the second zipper track. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first handle is exposed for viewing by a user. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a third zipper track and a fourth zipper track oppositely connected along the top wall, the third zipper track and the fourth zipper track extending proximally between the first position and the second position providing the opening. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the third zipper track and the fourth zipper track are concealed when the first zipper track and the second zipper track are coupled along the contour of the collapsible bag to facilitate concealing the bottom wall, the front wall, the top wall, and the rear wall from the view of a user. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a second handle having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the bottom wall and the second end connected to the bottom wall. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first end and the second end are positioned outside of the first zipper track and the second zipper track. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a zipper slider connects the first zipper track and the second zipper track beginning on the same point of the bottom wall. 12. A bag capable of collapsing into a smaller configuration, the bag comprising: a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, the walls coupled together to form the bag and the top wall provided with an opening to store articles; a closure means formed on the top wall for providing access to the bag; and a zipper comprising a first zipper track and a second zipper track for facilitating the smaller configuration of the bag by joining the first zipper to the second zipper, wherein the first zipper track is formed on the bag beginning at a point of the bottom wall, which is located at a center position along the bottom wall, and extending substantially diagonal from the bottom wall along the rear wall to a first central end of the top wall where the first side wall and the first central end meet, the first zipper track continuing to extend from the top wall to the front wall to the bottom wall and to the rear wall and back to the top wall such that the first zipper track goes around a perimeter of the first side wall; wherein the second zipper track is formed on the bag beginning at the point of the bottom wall and extending substantially diagonal from the bottom wall along the rear wall to a second central end of the top wall where the second side wall and the second central end meet, the second zipper track continuing to extend from the top wall to the front wall to the bottom wall to the rear wall and back to the top wall such that the second zipper track goes around a perimeter of the second side wall; and wherein the zipper further comprises a zipper slider for coupling the first zipper track and the second zipper track, wherein the bag collapses into the smaller configuration concealing the opening upon coupling of the first and the second zipper tracks, wherein the first zipper track and the second zipper track extend from the same point of the bottom wall. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the first zipper track, the second zipper track, and the zipper slider are exposed for viewing by the user while the top wall, the bottom wall, the front wall, the rear wall are concealed within the collapsed bag in the smaller configuration. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising a first handle coupled at a first end to the first sidewall and to a second end to the second sidewall, wherein coupling occurs outside the first zipper track and the second zipper track. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first handle is exposed to a user. 16. A method for forming a collapsible bag that converts from a larger configuration to a smaller configuration, the method comprising: providing a first sidewall and a second sidewall interconnected by a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and a top wall, the top wall comprising an opening to store articles; disposing a first zipper track into the bottom wall, the first zipper track diagonally connecting between a point of the bottom wall, which is located at a center position along the bottom wall, and a first position, the first position proximally located between the first sidewall and the top wall, wherein the first zipper track continues to extend from the first position along a contour of the collapsible bag along the top wall, the front wall, the bottom wall, the rear wall back to the top wall; and disposing a second zipper track into the bottom wall opposite to the first zipper track, the second zipper track diagonally connecting between the point of the bottom wall and a second position, the second position proximally located between the second sidewall and the top wall, wherein the second zipper track continues to extend from the second position along the contour of the collapsible bag along the top wall, the front wall, the bottom wall, the rear wall and back to the top wall, wherein the first zipper track and the second zipper track are coupled to convert the collapsible bag from the larger configuration to the smaller configuration, the smaller configuration concealing the opening, wherein the first zipper track and the second zipper track extend from the same point of the bottom wall. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein a zipper slider connects the first zipper track and the second zipper track beginning on the same point of the bottom wall. 18. The method of claim 16, further comprising connecting a zipper slider between the first zipper track and the second zipper track for coupling of the first zipper track and the second zipper track along the contour of the collapsible bag to facilitate concealing the bottom wall, the front wall, the top wall, and the rear wall from the view of a user. 19. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein a zipper slider connects the first zipper track and the second zipper track beginning on the same point of the bottom wall.
