A bag having two or more compartments for organizing and stowing belongings therein, and the two or more compartments include openings or access points to provide access to storage spaces. The bag may be converted from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration, such that the individual compartments fit together to form the unitary configuration of the bag. Each compartment includes at least one opening that provides access to the compartment's interior whether the bag is in a folded or a unitary configuration.

The bag of claim 8, wherein the outward-facing surface of the bag, in which the second opening is positioned, extends substantially perpendicular to an axis of the cylindrical shape. 10. The bag of claim 8, wherein the outward-facing surface of the bag, in which the second opening is positioned, extends substantially parallel with an axis of the cylindrical shape. 11. The bag of claim 1, wherein the first compartment and the second compartment form a body that is substantially a three-dimensional polyhedron when converted to the folded configuration,wherein the three-dimensional polyhedron includes a base that is comprised of at least part of the first compartment and at least part of the second compartment and that supports the bag in an upright position when in the folded configuration,wherein the three-dimensional polyhedron includes a first end face and a second end face that generally oppose one another, that are comprised of at least part of the first compartment and at least part of the second compartment, and that are substantially bisected by an interface between the first-wall exterior surface and a third-wall exterior surface,wherein the three-dimensional polyhedron includes at least one side face that joins the first end face to the second end face and that forms part of the first compartment, andwherein the three-dimensional polyhedron includes at least one side face that joins the first end face to the second end face and that forms part of the second compartment. 12. The bag of claim 11, wherein the outward-facing surface of the bag, in which the second opening is positioned, forms at least part of the first end face. 13. The bag of claim 11, wherein the outward-facing surface of the bag, in which the second opening is positioned, forms at least part of the at least one side face that forms part of the first compartment. 14. A bag with multiple compartments that each includes multiple access points and that are configurable between a lay-flat configuration and a folded configuration, the bag comprising: a first compartment including a first set of walls that encloses a first storage space and that includes a first opening, which is selectively closeable to manage access to the first storage space,wherein the first set of walls includes a first wall having a first-wall interior surface facing towards the first storage space and a first-wall exterior surface facing away from the first storage space, andwherein the first set of walls includes a second opening that is selectively closeable to manage access to the first storage space;a second compartment including a second set of walls that encloses a second storage space and that includes a third opening, which is selectively closeable to manage access to the second storage space, wherein the second set of walls includes a second wall having a second-wall interior surface facing towards the second storage space and a second-wall exterior surface facing away from the second storage space,wherein the second set of walls includes a fourth opening that is selectively closeable to manage access to the second storage space;a third compartment including a third set of walls that encloses a third storage space and that includes at least one third-compartment opening, which is selectively closeable to manage access to the third storage space, wherein the third set of walls includes a third wall having a third-wall interior surface facing towards the third storage space and a third-wall exterior surface facing away from the third storage space; andone or more compartment joining members that hingedly connect the first, second, and third compartments to one another, such that the first, second, and third compartments are convertible between the lay-flat configuration and the folded configuration by hinging on the one or more compartment joining members,wherein in the folded configuration the first-wall exterior surface and the second-wall exterior surface are folded towards, and face, one another to form inward-facing surfaces of the bag; andwherein in the folded configuration, the second opening and the fourth opening are positioned in an outward-facing surface of the bag. 15.
