to clarify about the Mädler luggage:
the foldable suitcase is called "aviatic" and was offered since the early 50ies and these types of foldable luggage is still in production, f.i. by Seeger in black leather.
There had been two versions available:
a 100 cm long versions for 4 men suits
a 137 cm long version for 10-12 women skirts
these had been available with a light stabilising framing as an extra for a surplus.
Attached are advertisements for the luggage from introduction in 1952, 1953 and 1963 to show the consistancy of the luggage type.
The advertisement slogans are
"the pinnacle of travel convenience - the new carbag"
and
"directly from the wardrobe into Mädlers carbag"
enjoy...

Re: Porsche 356 A Luggage
dropped by another period correct nice weekender by Mädler.
56x26x28cm, quite a large and usable size
company logo sewed in the interiour, but no tartan, fabric!
handle rounded, in contrary to the squared type above. corner reineforcements are equal as the above version. Underside knobs to prevent direct contact of fabric to the ground.
enjoy
