The upper portion is fastened by stitching to the rim ( 19 ) of the back portion. The upper portion includes at least a pair of protruding pockets ( 22 ), which define a gap or channel ( 23 ) there between.

A shoulder harness has ends that can be attached to an end of the back portion and to the lifting handle ( 38 ) at a shoulder yolk can be used to carry the luggage case ( 10 ) on one's back.
