History Main / BagOfHolding

* ''LightNovel/DidntISayToMakeMyAbilitiesAverageInTheNextLife'' deconstructs this trope. Mages may learn Storage Magic, to drastically cut down on logistical woes. It's limited by both weight and volume and doesn't stop time inside. They also have to concentrate and expend magic power to maintain it. It's so rare and highly prized, even complete newbies can instantly skip years of necessary experience and work to the middle rank if they have just that spell and a decent capacity. Many adventuring parties, merchant groups, and militaries are also willing to pay good money for a mage exclusively for this, any other skills and magical competencies are a bonus. The contrast between this and Mile's [[WrongContextMagic differently working version]] is a frequent plot point. She doesn't have to maintain it, time stops for stuff inside and it has a capacity so large it's never come up even when she adds the supplies for a 5K army or a whole dragon.

* ''LightNovel/KumaKumaKumaBear'' has two examples.

* The "Dazanegg's Magic Bag" in ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', which can be obtained by players of ''Elder Tale'' above level 45 essentially functions as one. This remains true even after the players became trapped within the game world, allowing them to lug a hundred kilograms worth of items with the effort of slinging a backpack.

* ''LightNovel/SeireiGensoukiSpiritChronicles'' has the Item Box, a magic artifact that uses time and space magic to store items. The main character, Rio, uses one to store cooking ingredients for long trips.

* A 4-dimensional bag in ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'' is a small pouch, yet it has infinite storage space allowing it to hold nearly anything, including large sniper rifles and even people.

* SantaClaus carries all his toys in one of these according to modern interpretations, though traditionally he's depicted with a large number of bags. (Still a lot fewer than he would realistically need, but whatever...)

* The [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Prinnies]] of the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series all wear fanny packs in which they store their various weaponry (Dual swords, bombs, and a magical, beam shooting skull). The Prinny forms of some characters keep other things in it, like Kurtis, who keeps [[RocketPunch rocket fists]] in his, and Asagi, who keeps an entire arsenal of heavy-duty weaponry including a rocket launcher, gatling gun, and flamethrower in hers.

** A fairly low-level spell in ''TabletopGame/AdvancedDungeonsAndDragonsSecondEdition'' was ''deeppockets'', which temporarily enchanted a wizard's robe with a large number of pockets so that they became miniature ''bags of holding''. No matter how many pockets it had, the robe as a whole could hold no more than 100 pounds and 5 cubic feet, but it weighed only ''10'' pounds, and the pockets didn't bulge at all.

* Luigi's pockets certainly act this way in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' (as he's able to stash almost anything that Dr. Gadd gives him in them, regardless of size) and Dr. Gadd even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it in one scene, commenting on how "it's a good thing you have such deep pockets."
* As an ImprobableWeaponUser, Jess from ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlrevis'' uses this as ''her weapon'', throwing all sorts of objects at enemies: from chemicals, bombs, even ''life-sized chariots''...
** It gets stranger when "team leader" Flay wants to speak with Muppy who has apparently gone off to some nearby hills. Jess reaches into her bag and somehow pulls Muppy out of it.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', the basic chest has 27 slots, each of which can hold a stack of 64 items (and each item might be a cubic-meter block if something), meaning it can potentially hold 1,728 times its own volume. A literal mountain's worth of stone can fit in a small closet of them. The player's own stock inventory has the same capacity plus an extra nine slots for quick access. Ten if you count the off-hand item slot (in Java Edition at least; in Bedrock Edition, only specific items can be placed in the off-hand).

** The series combines a room-sized version of a BagOfHolding with a PortableHole to get wizardly "pup tents": slap the pup tent up against the nearest convenient wall and it turns into a doorway to your own personal-and-portable bedroom. Or, in a pinch, use magic to hang it off of thin air.

* Yoko in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'' carries a tiny backpack that gives her 4 extra item slots, which can be a lifesaver. Amusingly, In ''File #2'' Yoko ''herself'' becomes the BagOfHolding. Enterprising players noticed that the only way to finish "Desperate Times" by yourself on the hardest setting was to [[VideogameCrueltyPotential kill Yoko in the front gate area]], then stash her body full of health and ammo.

* ''VideoGame/{{Turok}}'''s title characters pass down a BagOfHolding down their bloodline known as the Light Burden, a satchel that can basically carry anything. Whoever possesses the Light Burden takes up the title of Turok as well.

** Most prominently, Ayla/Phase went to a secret MadScientist open market and met a student named Mobius, who was selling a UtilityBelt whose every pocket functioned as a BagOfHolding. Phase paid four times the asking price, telling Mobius that he should charge at least that much for something that is so useful and immediately put himself forward as a marketing manager and legal advisor for ten percent of the profits.

* Batman's utility belt seems to function as a BagOfHolding in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. When Luthor manages to open it in "Injustice for All", the Batarangs and other gadgets that spill out of of the belt are far larger than any of the pouches could possibly contain.

* Used defensively in ''Film/ViolentNight'', where Santa here is able to trick one of the bad guys to stab ''into'' the seemingly empty bag and the bad guy pulls out a stabbed present in surprise (before he himself gets clocked by Santa).

%%* ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' had one in one of his incarnations. Specifically, it was the 1950s TV incarnation, which was later used for TheMovie.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', Wooldor Sockbat does a literal AssPull, producing items from his rectum.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat'', The Cat in the Hat often uses his hat as one.
* Batman's utility belt seems to function as a BagOfHolding in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. When Luthor manages to open it in "Injustice for All", the Batarangs and other gadgets that spill out of of the belt are far larger than any of the pouches could possibly contain.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', the sporran on the Scottsman's kilt acted like this. It could hold much more than its size suggested, letting him store many grenades, a very large chunk of gold, and his bagpipes inside.

* Orko's hat in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' has a compartment where he can store almost anything. Unfortunately, the stuff in it seems rather cluttered and unkempt (and seems to have as much junk in it as it does useful items), and it often takes him a while to find what he's looking for.
* In ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'', Deadpool's pouches functions as these. Among some of the stuff he has in them include: a parachute, a laser gun, bombs, fish sticks, and more.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', when [=CatDog=] climbed to a higher part a mountain and are going to find their earmuffs (It is missing) from their backpack, they took out various large things from their backpack such as a fridge, barber sign, drawer, and more.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': In "Luck Amok", Tigger decides to move away so he wouldn't hurt his friends with his bad luck, so he packs a trunk full of various large objects, including Rabbit's cupboard, Rabbit's bed, and even Rabbit's [[KitchenSinkIncluded kitchen sink]].
* Belly Bag from ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' is a sentient one, and Frankenstein lives in a castle inside him.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TinyPlanets'', Bing carries a satchel from which he produces a variety of useful items, many of which are larger than the satchel itself.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' the thief Tookit has one called the "Forever Bag" capable of holding several warehouses worth of stolen goods in a sack that's roughly 2-3 feet tall. The Forever Bag's activation phrase, "rankinbass", is a Shout-Out to the production company of the original [=ThunderCats=] series.
* In ''WebAnimation/MightyMagiswords'', Prohyas and Vambre keep their many magiswords in tiny pouches on their belts. The magiswords themselves are tiny until used, though.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' episode "The Magic Sack Of Mr. Nicholas", the Santa Expy Mr. Nicholas shows the Smurfs how he can carry a lot of presents and deliver them to the boys and girls with his magic sack, which during the episode gets [[SatchelSwitcheroo switched with a sack full of captured Smurfs]].
* [[WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw Milo Murphy's]] backpack always has whatever he needs for any given disaster, even things that obviously could never fit, up to and including a ship's anchor.
* Similar to the above example, Pak from ''WesternAnimation/TheFruitties'' carries a backpack with him that contains anything he needs, and can hold ''way'' more stuff than a backpack should be able to, including stuff that wouldn't fit in there.
* Aunt Tilly's Carpet Bag in ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' Literally contained... A TEA SET READY TO DRINK!!
* Pearl from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' can store pretty much anything inside her gem, regardless of shape or size. This includes her own repressed memories, who are represented as literal past versions of herself. [[spoiler: One of them found a way to communicate with the outside world.]] It is unclear if this is an ability all Gems possess or only certain types ([[spoiler: Spinel]] from the movie appears to summon a weapon, but it later turns out to be a piece of technology rather than one of her abilities, implying she was just storing it in her Gem).
* On ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', Jodi Platypus's normal outfit features a purple shirt with a pocket in which she always keeps crayons and according to her a number of other useful things.
* As fans of ''Series/DieSendungMitDerMaus'' might have seen, Krawinkel [[note]] Keepvogel in the Dutch Original - he's a crow[[/note]] packs his whole house into the bag of his trusty dog Eckstein when he is bored and wants to go on a safari. But he gets already thrown out of the bus which is in danger of keeling over since the stuff keeps its mass...
* Franchise/FelixTheCat was famous for his magic bag, which may very well be the UrExample.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E12PinkiePride Pinkie Pride]]", Pinkie Pie has no trouble storing everything she needs for her next party into her tiny saddlebags, including spools of streamers, square yards of banners, and gallons of paint, the latter with no container whatsoever!
** The opening of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyRainbowRoadtrip'' shows a montage of the Mane Six packing their saddlebags. Especially Rarity and Twilight Sparkle put far more stuff in than their bags should be able to hold physically, with Twilight stuffing what seems to be half her library in there. But then again, [[AWizardDidIt Two Unicorns Did It]].
* Moominmama's handbag in Creator/SkyOne's ''[[Literature/TheMoomins Moominvalley]]''. In the episode "The Strange Case of Mrs Fillyjonk", she pulls various very long items after it. More subtly, at the start of the episode, she is filling it with jars of jam. It's about the right size to hold ''two'' of the jars, but she just keeps putting more in. In "Moominpapa and Son", Moominpapa's briefcase also works like this: every time he thinks of something he needs for his job, he drops it in, where it disappears. This includes the Moomins' very bulky barometer and ''a full pot of coffee''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'': Shag the Sheepdog is known to carry a lot of stuff in his fur, including weapons.
* On ''WesternAnimation/OlliesPack'', the titular backpack (known as the Monster Pack) contains an entire alien dimension within it. Ollie and his friends are tasked with making sure the pack doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

* ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'' has this. The vending machines are probably the most extreme - they can sell any item you have. Before it was patched out, this includes other vending machines. It's quite possible, only on unpatched versions, to stuff ten vending machines into the one currently in your shop.
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate2'', being ''Dungeons and Dragons'' videogame, gives you a Bag of Holding sometime after you find Imoen again. You'll need it.
** And there is another one for sale in a magic shop in the ''VideoGame/ThroneOfBhaal'' expansion if you find that one isn't enough for you.
** There are also a number of containers that act as specific bags of holding for certain classes of item: the scroll case (also holds books), the gem bag (also holds rings, necklaces, etc.), the ammunition belt, and the potion case.

* The Bottomless Box from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', for when you need to declutter your inventory.
* The InteractiveFiction game ''Lost'' allowed the player to acquire a box that opened into a pocket dimension, allowing you to store anything you could pick up. Just make sure not to put any other type of container in it; it's [[RealityBreakingParadox not pretty]].
* While this was not explained until ''Buried In Time'', ''VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject'' explicitly justifies this by incorporating a "null-time pocket" in the Jumpsuit, in which objects placed there take up no physical space and do not burden the agent. This helps explain how Agent 5 can hold such large objects like a bicycle-esque device or a medieval sword.
* By exploiting certain game mechanics in both ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', you too can make your own bag of holding. Just find (or make) a corpse, stuff it with whatever items you wish to put inside it, sever one of its limbs, and voila! All you need to do now is to use the "grab" function key (default Z on the PC) and carry the severed appendage to the next town. It may slow you down a little, but it certainly beats the burden of maximum encumbrance.
** You can also fill a foot-wide desk drawer with enough guns, armor, and ammo to equip an army. Unlike in the first two games, containers have no upper limit.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** Throughout the series, your carrying capacity is limited only by the ''total weight'' of the items you are carrying, not their size or shape. One can easily carry around multiple suits of armor, several massive weapons, a library of books, a shop's entire supply of potions, etc., apparently all in your pockets as they do not show on your character model, while only being slowed down a little bit, as long as you don't go beyond the encumbrance limit.
** This is also true of containers, where it is possible to store items far larger than what would realistically fit within. Sure, go ahead, store a battleaxe as tall as a person inside a chest no bigger than a mini-fridge!
** A very popular type of GameMod for the PC versions of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' adds one of these for players who hate having to micromanage their inventory and/or hate not being able to tote every single scrap of loot out of a dungeon or ruin on a single trip. With such a modded bag or satchel of holding, a player can carry a complete set of every type of armor available, every weapon available, not to mention enough food, ingredients, and smithing supplies to stock a small city for months, and never be encumbered.
* Gasald's sack in ''VideoGame/TheGameOfTheAges'' is big enough to carry the entire nearby cave. The character's counterpart in the source novel had an entire world in his sack.
* Karol from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' keeps a large handbag on his person that he uses as a blunt weapon, and to store the various items he uses as weapons in his different arts. The largest one he can get has flavor text claiming it's big enough to fit [[GiantFlyer Ba'ul]] inside, and considering that he can store a SuperRobot in there in the [=PS3=] version, it seems fairly probable that it's true.
* ''VideoGame/TotalDistortion'' has a guitar case containing [[PocketDimension a pocket dimension]] that can hold an infinite number of items, ranging from multiple guitars to dozens of food and drink items.
* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' has the Piggy Bank (and its counterpart the Money Trough), Safe, Defender's Forge, and Void Bag items. Unlike regular chests which can't be picked up until they've been emptied first, they can be picked up even when they're holding items, allowing you to transport an entire chest's worth of items for the cost of only one inventory slot. They can even be placed inside one another to give you even more inventory space. However, you can't use multiples of the same container to get a massive inventory space, as each of these containers shares an inventory with all others of the same type (i.e., if you fill a Safe with 40 stacks of dirt, every other Safe you go to will have those same stacks of dirt).
* In ''VideoGame/LegoHarryPotter'', Hermione gets her bag of holding and can use it to pull out whatever she needs to solve certain puzzles.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfMajeyal'', the Transmogrification Chest can contain any number of items without burdening the player. However, it also doubles as a BagOfSpilling, as items within are transmogrified (destroyed for some gold) upon leaving the current level. The player would better check the items inside before moving to another area, and being careless is a very easy way to lose that {{BFS}} you just find forever.
* ''VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce'' provides a TechnoBabble explanation for this involving a null space created by transporter technology.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', the basic chest has 27 slots, each of which can hold a stack of 64 items (and each item might be a cubic-meter block if something), meaning it can potentially hold 1,728 times its own volume. A literal mountain's worth of stone can fit in a small closet of them. The player's own stock inventory has the same capacity plus an extra nine slots for quick access. Ten if you count the off-hand item slot (in Java Edition at least; in Bedrock Edition, only specific items can be placed in the off-hand).
** The Minecraft short video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfEjOUZgLE8 Silverfish Encounter]]'' provides an interesting look at what might happen if a Bag of Holding full of solid matter is turned inside out (at 2:55). Unfortunately, you can't actually do this, since if a chest is blown up in-game it merely drops its contents in item form.
** Ender Chests are a crossbreed between this trope and PortalNetwork. They have the same capacity as normal chests, but with a twist: if you put something in an Ender Chest, no one else can reach it... but YOU can reach it from ANY Ender Chest in that server, no matter which dimension you're in or how far apart they are. [[MundaneUtility Useful for maintaining your inventory]] if you've been [[TravelMontage flying your elytra in one direction for twelve hours]] and would rather [[https://youtu.be/PW-yMMOgyc8 die than fly 100,000 blocks back home.]]
** Shulker boxes take this to the next level, as each one can hold its full complement of 27 items even after it's been picked up. If you somehow manage to acquire 36 of them, you can lug around 62,208 blocks of ''whatever'' without breaking a sweat -- provided you want to have to locate the appropriate box and place it down on the ground to get anything out of it. And you still have room for the full set of armor and shield you'll no doubt want to have on you for the journey to protect it all. Unsurprisingly, fitting a shulker box inside another one is not supported, but they can be placed in normal chests or Ender Chests.
** Buckets can only hold one liquid at a time, but the ''amount'' of that liquid they hold wildly defies not only their apparent size but also the law of conservation of mass. One mug-sized bucket can scoop up a whole cubic meter of water [[LavaIsBoilingKoolAid or lava]]. Rapidly placing and re-scooping water from a pond will gradually drain the pond... or a whole ocean, if you're patient enough. Even if you take just one scoop, then dump it on top of a mountain, it will form a huge, endlessly-flowing waterfall (or lavafall). In early versions of the game, doing this would ''flood the entire world''.[[note]]Liquid blocks originally just replicated themselves onto adjacent squares at or below their height. This worked to simulate a virtually-infinite ocean or magma pool, but when combined with buckets, created a serious problem. Now, "full" water blocks spawn mostly-full blocks, then half-full blocks, and so on until the outflow stops a short distance from the source. But ''vertical'' distance doesn't count, so one bucket can still make an infinite waterfall.[[/note]] Buckets cannot be stacked, but they can be placed in chests and shulker boxes, so you can carry up to 972 sources of semi-infinite liquid at once (and, somehow, they never tip over).
* Max of ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxTheDevilsPlayhouse'' has an organ in his body called an "inventory." This is the last story in the series, and Max's inventory contains a random assortment of items from all the previous games that he tucked into his inventory and forgot about.

* ''VideoGame/{{Factorio}}'' features a wide assortment of bizarre inventory rules and bags of holding. A simple wooden chest is capable of holding ''80'' full-sized DieselPunk locomotives or 1600 steel I-beams. But it can only hold 160 barrels. The car can hold more items than anything else, so it can carry 80 additional cars within its trunk.
* Creator/{{Sierra}}'s many point-and-click AdventureGames feature this with varying degrees of justification and LampshadeHanging ([[VideoGame/SpaceQuestIIIThePiratesOfPestulon "You put the ladder in your pocket. Ouch!"]]). ''VideoGame/KingsQuest2015'' in particular handwaves it by saying that Graham's cape ([[MommasBoy made by his mother]]) has a ton of pockets in it... and then exaggerates it in Episode 2 by having one of Graham's friends, a fully-grown adult, hide inside it.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' uses storage decks, which appear to be some sort of dead-end teleporter that can store objects of any size. Capacity seems to be limited by the ability to address the items put into it and is expanded by "storage deck upgrades" that look like memory cards.
* ''VideoGame/DungeonMunchies'' has the Nice Plastic Bag, an "interdimensional pouch" that is capable of holding an infinite amount of magical cooking ingredients, and keep them fresh beside. They're not indestructible, however, as the flavour text for Blade Grass says the PC is worried about it damaging the bag.
* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' has the backpack, a collectible that doubles the ammo you can carry. Its fantasy clone ''VideoGame/{{Heretic}}'''s simile is indeed called "Bag of Holding", though it does nothing for inventory items.
* As is standard for {{M|assively Multiplayer Online Game}}MORPGs, in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' you can carry a lot more than your character has any right to. Though of course the inventory is nowhere near actually big enough for the way that players collect loot. The banks are also this trope. There is absolutely no way that the vaults on most of the banks are big enough to store even one player's stuff, let alone multiple players' stuff. One player's items if laid end to end would span Azeroth several times over, and yes you actually do need all of that stuff (at least, if you want to raid). One of the major contributors to this is the hilarious size of the weaponry. Pretty much every weapon is about twice the size that it ought to be if a normal person were going to use it, and some of them are so huge that they stretch immersion. All of them take up only one inventory slot though. Recipes routinely require several football fields' worth of herbs, a small mountain's worth of metal, or the like. Of course, it's entirely likely that the bags really are BiggerOnTheInside. This is, after all, a world where you can receive mail or use the auction house while stuck in an alternate universe.
* ''VideoGame/TheVeryOrganizedThief'': Though it's not indicated that the thief has a bag, he can store gold bars, [=TVs=], lawnmowers, and the like.
* {{Parodied}} in ''VideoGame/SummertimeSaga''. The Main Character's backpack can store a ridiculous number of inventory items, as is custom for storyline [=RPGs=]. However, he's also regularly seen ''stuffing'' things in his backpack that should be impossible, like a fullsized sex robot.
* The player character's bag in ''{{VideoGame/Pokemon}}'', especially newer generations, is like this. It's divided into areas for poke balls, medicine, [=TMs=], berries, battle items, other items and key items and can fit up to 999 of each item plus things like a fashion case, a bicycle and more.
* A lot of jokes are made about the large items players can carry around in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing''. The furniture items turn into leaves as a nod to the tanuki legend, but there's also things like the ax, shovel, slingshot, watering can, vaulting pole, net, fishing rod, ladder. Then there's up to 30 pieces in each slot of various types of wood, branches or iron, 10 fruits per slot, 30 pieces of fencing to a slot, 10 fish bait pet slot, etc, not to mention various clothing items can also fit in it as long as there's enough slots left. And somehow fish as big as whale sharks will fit in there.
* A justified example in ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'': While the cat's backpack is physically only large enough to carry their companion B-12, the latter can "digitize" items into virtual storage. Hence, the cat can run and climb freely without worrying about being weighed down with such items as energy drink cans, notebooks, an entire container of detergent, or even an atomic battery.
* ''VideoGame/CragneManor'': Naomi has a Jansport backpack that she can put all her items in. This includes a suitcase, a filthy welcome mat, various large articles of clothing, and a rat corpse. It's separated into pockets for you to help organize your items better.

* In ''WebVideo/WorldsGreatestAdventures'', Rufus's "trusty toolkit" --aka the small pouch he wears around his neck-- contains whatever the plot demands. It has so far produced a brush three times its size, a diary, and a working alarm clock.

* The inventory page on ''Website/{{Neopets}}'', for your unlimited inventory items, has the following description: "You carry with you, at all times, a bag. This bag holds all your items until you move them elsewhere. It's not a huge bag, but it seems to have more room on the inside."

* ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' Photoplasty advertises jeans with such a pocket in [[http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_273_26-ads-products-that-must-exist-in-video-games_p26/#13 Ads for Products That Must Exist in Video Games]].
* ''Literature/RaisingAngels'' The Main Character possess a copper bracelet which she uses as a handbag, with all the things that go in one of those.
* In ''Literature/DouluoDalu'' There's plenty of examples, they are kind of rare for normal people but most characters that appear will undoubtedly possess one of them, the Main Character has one in the form of a belt with 24 pockets, each one holding 1 square meter of possible space.
* In [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd The Angry Video Game Nerd]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oqktia7NLI&t=1m54s (AVGN episode 159: Tomb Raider games)]], the Nerd loads a seemingly regular backpack with two guns, three grenades, extra ammo, three rifles, and a bazooka.
* ''WebAnimation/TrickMoon'': Pocket's bag can hold anything inside -- apparently by making it smaller, as when she stuffs a big gemstone inside, it bloats the bag before it shrinks back down to its normal size.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Shrapnel}}'': In the miniseries, Cecilia, a KillerRobot who is roughly the size of an average adult woman, often rests inside a metal briefcase. How she manages to fit in there is anyone's guess.
* ''Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForums'': One of the class skills of the Rogue, allowing them to hold infinite items in a separate inventory that they must swap with their main inventory.

%%* [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Simon Belmont's]] backpack in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', Wakko explicitly has one of these, referred to in the show as his 'Gag Bag'. In "H.M.S. Yakko", Yakko briefly has one during a line in "I am the Very Model of a Cartoon Individual".
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Francis shoplifts from a giant mall by shoving such things as tires, vending machines, and televisions in his pants.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' had one in one of his incarnations. Specifically, it was the 1950s TV incarnation, which was later used for TheMovie.
%%* Bender's internal compartment from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' definitely counts as one.
* One ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode had boxes that each contained an entire AlternateUniverse (including more boxes).

%%* ''WesternAnimation/SportBilly'''s Super Sack is a Bag of Holding if ever there was one.
%%* The ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'' cartoon series had at least three examples of this: Presto's hat, Zandora's Box, and the Box of Balefire. Except that Zandora's Box usually acts more like a portal to other planes of existence (including ours!), and the Box of Balefire summons a very nasty BigBad.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays'', Passepartout uses this to carry whatever items Phileas Fogg asks for in a particular episode.
* One of WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutron's inventions (the Hypercube) is a small box with infinite space inside. He uses it as a Bag of Holding in some episodes.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperGlobetrotters'', Gizmo had an "afro of holding".
* Hamilton's box on ''WesternAnimation/MaggieAndTheFerociousBeast''. Not only is it Hamilton's home, he also seems to be able to pull out of it just about anything that he, Maggie, or the Ferocious Beast need.
* In the animated series version of ''WesternAnimation/PacMan'', Inky had a front pocket to himself that was this way. He pulled a full-length ladder from it once.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'': Merlin casts a spell ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfahp4J_-_o along with a song and dance routine]]) to place the contents of ''his entire house'' inside his bag, because he was moving to Sir Ector's castle to tutor Arthur.

* [[Creator/MarxBrothers Harpo Marx]] often pulled impossibly large and numerous objects out of his coat pockets. This was most likely the inspiration for Wakko Warner, the Doctor, and probably most of the more comical examples listed herein.

* Used defensively in ''Film/ViolentNight'', where Santa here is able to trick one of the bad guys to stab ''into'' the seemingly epty bag and the bad guy pulls out a stabbed present in surprise (before he himself gets clocked by Santa).

* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', Hermione creates one of these out of her handbag using an Undetectable Extension Charm.
** And in a similar vein, the Weasleys borrow a pup tent that is the size of a 3-bedroom apartment on the inside.
** This is an ever-present theme in ''Literature/HarryPotter''. The Ford Anglia in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Chamber of Secrets]]'' was magically expanded, allowing 6 or 7 people to fit comfortably in the back seat and all their luggage in the trunk. Also, the tiny pouch that Hagrid gives Harry shrinks ''both'' itself and the objects it contains, as it is made out of a lizard that can shrink completely if it feels in danger.
** Mad-Eye Moody has a trunk with seven different locks revealing different interiors that all co-exist with each other. The last is [[spoiler:big enough to fit Moody himself, and he spends most of the year there while Barty Crouch Jr. impersonates him.]]
** And a true Gryffindor may pull Godric Gryffindor's sword out of the Sorting Hat... which kind of makes sense since the hat itself also once belonged to Gryffindor. (If you were a wizard with a magic hat, wouldn't you keep important belongings in it?) In this case, the hat is implied to teleport the sword to its location rather than actually contain it within.
* In ''Literature/FactoryOfTheGods'' Julian is given an inventory belt that has individual pockets that function as bags of holding, only limited to one type of object, making them function more like inventory slots in a video game.
* In Donita K. Paul's ''Literature/DragonKeeperChronicles'', Kale's moonbeam cloak has pockets like this.
* In Creator/TerryPratchett's Literature/{{Discworld}} series, The Luggage is a vaguely malevolent version of this trope, which will regularly ''eat people'' but still give you your clothes cleaned and pressed a few seconds later. It's also fanatically devoted to its owner, able to transcend time and space (and ''death'') to reach him, and will stomp over or eat anything that gets in its way.

* Nakor the Blue Rider from Raymond E. Feist's ''Literature/TheRiftwarCycle'' always carries a rucksack that looks empty, but seems to contain infinite oranges. He says it's just a regular rucksack with a portable rift hidden inside it, with the other end located in an orange storeroom, but [[TheTrickster this is Nakor we're talking about]], so that may be true, or it may be part of the truth, or it may be a convenient lie. On the one hand, he does pull a lot of oranges (and on a few occasions, apples) out of that empty rucksack. On the other hand, he also pulls out things that no fruit merchant would have in his warehouse - a swarm of angry hornets, a male falcon of the type prized by the Keshian nobility, even a live snake [[spoiler:which is really just a piece of rope - one of Nakor's "tricks"]].
* ''Literature/YoungWizards'' features pockets in space that a wizard can access from anywhere, allowing them to put in any number of heavy or cumbersome things and just pull them out when they're needed.
** Kit has learned the trick of opening his up inside of his pocket, allowing him to retrieve and store objects even while in the presence of {{Muggles}}.
** The series combines a room-sized version of a BagOfHolding with a PortableHole to get wizardly "pup tents": slap the pup tent up against the nearest convenient wall and it turns into a doorway to your own personal-and-portable bedroom. Or, in a pinch, use magic to hang it off of thin air.
* In the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, Generator has a 'purse of holding', designed by her boyfriend, who's a size warper. She has a superpowered way of preventing RummageFail.
** And Phase's utility belt. Built by a deviser, it looks like a wide belt with fake pockets that couldn't possibly hold anything bigger than a matchbook. Phase routinely stuffs the pockets with all kinds of devices and weapons.
* Creator/RobertAHeinlein
** In ''Literature/TheCatWhoWalksThroughWalls'', Gwen/Hazel has a purse like this, courtesy of a small space warp.
** Rufo has a "fold box" in ''Literature/GloryRoad'', which keeps opening up, revealing more, and bigger, compartments full of the equipment needed for their quest. An unfortunate accident later destroys it and all the equipment it contained.

* A variant of this is given to Gurgi at the end of ''The Book of Three'', the first book of ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfPrydain''. His wallet holds an infinite supply of food, which magically restocks itself.

** In the SequelSeries, Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus, Leo, son of Hephaestus, finds an enchanted toolbelt that has a myriad of tools and supplies. But only things that could reasonably be found in garages (nothing like giant power tools or other magical items).

* In the second book of the [[Literature/ForgottenRealms Finder's Stone]] trilogy, The Wyvern's Spur, Olive (a halfling) tries to hide in a miniature bag of holding. It doesn't work, though, because it's too small.
* The short story ''The Faery Handbag'' by Kelly Link features a bag made of dog skin. Depending on how the clasp is turned, it opens to reveal one of three things: a normal-sized handbag interior, an old village put into the bag to save it from disaster (IIRC), or a blood-soaked dimension inhabited by the skinless spirit of the dog killed to make the bag.
* Creator/RobertSilverberg's ''Nightwings'' has an overpocket, described as infinitely capacious and capable of containing the contents of an entire world, yet no larger than a man's hand.
* In Zarathan, the setting of Creator/RykESpoor's ''Literature/TheBalancedSword'', every well-equipped adventurer has a "neverfull pack". It's not actually true that they can never be filled up, but they do let you carry a lot more equipment around.
* In the ''Literature/MythOMania'' book ''Say Cheese, Medusa!'', Persephone gives Hades a wallet that can hold anything.
* Interspatial rings serve this purpose in ''Literature/CoilingDragon''. With a flip of their hand, a wearer can deposit or extract an item from the ring. The most common application is to hold their weapons, but characters also use them to hold food, drink, and fragile objects.
* In ''WebVideo/TheWizardsOfAus'', Jack carries one of these.
* In the Literature/LoneWolf series, you can find a literal named Bag of Holding. Its space isn't infinite, but it still increases the capacity of your backpack.

* ''Literature/TheCrimsonShadow'': Oliver is given a sack with this effect by Brind'Amour that can hold far items more than is normal. Things placed inside it will come into his hand by simply thinking about them too. It works due to being [[PocketDimension extradimensional]].

* In the ''Literature/EnchantedForestChronicles'', the [[WitchClassic witch]] Morwen has enchanted the sleeves of her [[RobeAndWizardHat robes]] to hold a multitude of items. They start to feel heavy when nearing capacity.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'', uses Magitech versions of the D&D/Pathfinder bag of holding concept with the Efficient Bandolier, which holds 5 different ammo types in extra-dimensional spaces and auto-pulls them at the wielder's will, and the various grades of Null-Space Chamber, which straps to your arms and acts like a Handy Haversack, with total volume based on the tier of the unit.

* The handbag in Creator/SamuelBeckett's ''Happy Days'' is strongly implied to be this, although the central character seems to be in denial about it.

* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' goes even further with the Horadric Cube, which takes up four inventory spaces, but holds twelve spaces worth of stuff.
* The [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Prinnies]] of the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series all wear fanny packs in which they store their various weaponry (Dual swords, bombs, and a magical, beam shooting skull). The Prinny forms of some characters keep other things in it, like Kurtis, who keeps [[RocketPunch rocket fists]] in his, and Asagi, who keeps an entire arsenal of heavy-duty weaponry including a rocket launcher, gatling gun, and flamethrower in hers.
* Parodied in ''{{VideoGame/EvoLand}} 2'' where you shove an entire boat into your bag, at which point the game says: "Man, carrying all this equipment is gettin' ridiculous."

* Every ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' adventurer starts the game with a Gobbiebag as the standard inventory. The Mog Satchel is ''another'' Bag of Holding... [[BribingYourWayToVictory that requires the purchase of a $10 Security Token.]] And the Mog Sack is ''yet a third'' one, which [[NoHeroDiscount has to be purchased from a Moogle vendor.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1984'' had the "thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is". [[spoiler:[[ClingyMacGuffin You can't quite ditch it...]] this nuisance eventually comes in handy]].
* Guybrush Threepwood of ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' has Pants of Holding. He's been known to stuff such things as a dog, a monkey and a ladder down his pants with no discomfort. Although, strangely enough, he can't always go through tight spaces while carrying something big in those pants, like a banana picker.
--> "That's the second biggest duck I've ever had in my pants!"
* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', Mario and Luigi store everything they collect in a suitcase given to them by Toadsworth. The sequel also utilizes a suitcase, though this particular one is an anthropomorphic suitcase named Stuffwell, created by [[MadScientist E. Gadd]]. The third game features the Star Menu, which the characters use to hold their things via Starlow.
* Speaking of which, Luigi's pockets certainly act this way in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' (as he's able to stash almost anything that Dr. Gadd gives him in them, regardless of size) and Dr. Gadd even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it in one scene, commenting on how "it's a good thing you have such deep pockets."
* By the end ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarI'', Alis carries three tank-sized vehicles around with her.
* As an ImprobableWeaponUser, Jess from ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlrevis'' uses this as ''her weapon'', throwing all sorts of objects at enemies: from chemicals, bombs, even ''life-sized chariots''...
** It gets stranger when "team leader" Flay wants to speak with Muppy who has apparently gone off to some nearby hills. Jess reaches into her bag and somehow pulls Muppy out of it.
* Clank in ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' somehow shrinks things and stores them in his abdomen. Meanwhile, when Ratchet switches weapons, the weapon has a brief animation of de-condensing from a (sometimes unrealistically) small size, explaining how he carries them everywhere.
* Yoko in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'' carries a tiny backpack that gives her 4 extra item slots, which can be a lifesaver. Amusingly, In ''File #2'' Yoko ''herself'' becomes the BagOfHolding. Enterprising players noticed that the only way to finish "Desperate Times" by yourself on the hardest setting was to [[VideogameCrueltyPotential kill Yoko in the front gate area]], then stash her body full of health and ammo.
* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'': The eponymous Banjo's [[MemeticOutfit famous blue backpack]] is able to carry pretty much every PlotCoupon in the game without trouble, along with his partner, Kazooie. He also uses it in the sequel for a specific move that transports items that are as big - or bigger - than he is. But only if Kazooie gets out first.
* The ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'' (and probably ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'') games' watering can deserves special mention. While it's stored in a standard Bag Of Holding inventory, it can be upgraded to hold several times as much water as at first, without becoming larger in any dimension.
* ''Hocus Pocus Pink'', a point-and-click adventure, released in 1999, has this in spades. WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther stores stuff he needs in his own skin, which can even hold a woolly mammoth. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1kJjv2piHo#t=01m00s Link]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1kJjv2piHo#t=04m30s (and see how much Hammer Space went into it).]]

* ''LightNovel/DidntISayToMakeMyAbilitiesAverageInTheNextLife'' deconstructs this trope. Mages may learn Storage Magic, to drastically cut down on logistical woes. It's limited by both weight and volume and doesn't stop time inside. They also have to concentrate and expend magic power to maintain it. It's so rare and highly prized, even complete newbies can instantly skip years of necessary experience and work to the middle rank if they have just that spell and a decent capacity. Many adventuring parties, merchant groups, and militaries are also willing to pay good money for a mage exclusively for this, any other skills and magical competencies are a bonus. The contrast between this and Mile's [[WrongContextMagic differently working version]] is a frequent plot point. She doesn't have to maintain it, time stops for stuff inside and it has a capacity so large it's never come up even when she adds the supplies for a 5K army or a whole dragon.
* Manga/{{Doraemon}} has a fourth-dimensional pocket for this purpose. Unfortunately, he's horrendously disorganized, so often times he can't [[RummageFail find what he wants in a pinch]].
* The "Hoi-Poi Capsules" ("Dyna-Caps" in the dub) of ''Manga/DragonBall'' are small enough to fit a dozen in your pockets and can contain anything from cars to aircraft to entire reservoirs of water. Understandably, this has made their inventor, Dr Briefs (father of main character Bulma), one of the richest people on Earth.
* August 7 of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' won the SuperpowerLottery and gained the ability to distort the space around him. He uses it to keep an arsenal of sabres and shotguns on his person at all times.
* ''Manga/FlyingWitch'': Makoto's supervisor Akira has one on the back of her CoolBike. Much like her office she doesn't seem to clean it much, leading to a few [[RummageFail Rummage Fails]].

* ''Manga/BlackButler'' gives us a ''person'' of holding. During his duel with Sebastian, Claude reaches down Hannah's throat, like ''all the way down'' and produces a ''freaking {{BFS}}''. It's just as gross sounding as it looked.
* In ''Manga/{{Dazzle}}'', we have Rahzel's teddy bear bag. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]:
--> '''Alzeid:''' Did she just pull something out of that bag that's bigger than the space inside?
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': This is part of Homura's powers (the other characters simply [[{{Hammerspace}} make weapons appear from nowhere]]). Some sort of unseen portal in the back of her shield can hold a seemingly limitless supply of stolen {{Yakuza}} and [[UsefulNotes/KaijuDefenseForce JSDF]] weapons and homemade bombs without becoming noticeably heavier; in episode 11, she dumps out dozens of rocket launchers and mortar cannons, enough land mines to emulate a small thermonuclear explosion, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a couple of machine guns.]]

* The "Dazanegg's Magic Bag" in ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', which can be obtained by players of ''Elder Tale'' above level 45 essentially functions as one. This remains true even after the players became trapped within the game world, allowing them to lug a hundred kilograms worth of items with the effort of slinging a backpack.
* The Medicine Seller's pack in ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}'' may not seem it initially, as it's a big, bulky thing and the objects he pulls from it are fairly small, but come later arcs he's producing hundreds of those scales from the same, small compartment!
* A 4-dimensional bag in ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'' is a small pouch, yet it has infinite storage space allowing it to hold nearly anything, including large sniper rifles and even people.

* ''LightNovel/KumaKumaKumaBear'' has two examples.
** There is the standard "item bag" which can be used to transport large amounts of items without the weight or the size woes. It's highly prized though not so rare that well-funded bandit groups can't get them.
** The protagonist, Yuna, has a special example called the "Bear Box", a {{Hammerspace}} contained in the white bear puppet glove of her bear armor. It acts as a pocket dimension where time and entropy do not exist, allowing her to store items without rotting, degradation, or an upper limit to mass and volume. For example, she stores a multi-room, two-story house complete with working circuitry and plumbing in lieu of a tent roll, capable of pulling it out and setting it up with the same ease you would a wallet from your pocket.
* Ninja Ninja from ''Anime/AfroSamurai'' lampshades this when he and Afro come across Brother 6.
--> ''(Brother 6 pulls a bazooka from his pack)''\\
'''Ninja Ninja:''' (shocked) Hey! Is that a motherfucking RPG? You got a motherfucking ''RPG?!''\\
''(Brother 6 gets ready to fire)''\\
'''Ninja Ninja:''' AN RPG IN A MOTHERFUCKING '''''BACKPACK?!'''''

* In ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'', Ramona pulls all sorts of crazy stuff from her handbag. This includes a titanium baseball bat (+1 against blondes) and a sledgehammer (+2 against girls). Scott also hides in it. In the final volume, it's revealed to be a gateway into her head too, as Scott enters the bag to find not only Ramona but a gigantic Gideon Graves holding her captive, as well. The same volume also illustrates [[ExplodingCloset what happens]] when you rupture such a bag.

* Creator/MarvelComics:
** The Power Purse, one of the most overpowered yet underutilized items in the Marvel Universe, allows the user to pull almost anything from it. Where the items come from is inconsistent. It supposedly pulls items from another dimension but has been shown to pull items from its own dimension as well. It is currently in the possession of Honey Lemon, member of [[ComicBook/SunfireAndBigHero6 Big Hero 6]].
** There was a period where [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] of the Avengers wore a trench coat that acted as a Bag of Holding because he had used "Pym Particles" (the same ones previously used to make him into Ant-Man/Giant Man/Yellowjacket) to shrink all manner of useful gadgets so that they fit in his pockets.
--->'''Hank Pym:''' You know, what you should have asked is why I would bother to shrink these things in the first place.\\
''[clocks the villain with a ''sledgehammer'' that he grows back to normal size as he swings it]''
** His Wasp persona revisits this idea. One of the shrunken items he keeps on him is a fully functional lab.
** Shaman from ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight''. His bag holds any number of magical spells. Only for him. Anyone else? Just don't look into it. Or stick your arm into it. It doesn't like giving arms back. It was also revealed to be a bad idea to ''turn it inside-out''.
** Is anyone surprised that in ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' [[spoiler:Old!]]Loki has one of these? It can hold anything from a rocket launcher to a small mountain of gold.
* ''Savant Garde''. A ''ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm'' spin-off title. The main character has a less malicious bag of holding. Which is a blessing when you are a bibliophile archaeologist.
* ComicBook/SpiderMan's foe the ComicBook/GreenGoblin carries his pumpkin bombs and other weapons in a shoulder bag that he calls his "bag of tricks" which seems far too small to hold them all.
* Disney character Eega Beeva wears a skirted garment which contains an incredible number of objects, often ''huge'' objects. The problem is finding ''useful'' objects in a reasonable amount of time. Usually, he manages to find what he's looking for, but [[RummageFail only after extracting refrigerators, truck tires, furniture, and other big and useless stuff]].
* Drywall from ''ComicBook/ScudTheDisposableAssassin'' can hold anything from weapons to furniture inside his body. He contains an extradimensional space that is neatly divided into labelled cubicles made of drywall (hence, his name) with all his stuff sorted into them. It doesn't seem to help Drywall find a specific item he wants any faster, though.
* ''Creator/MilestoneComics'' had Iota of the ''Shadow Cabinet'' -- a SizeShifter who's been known to manifest anything from lipstick to a tank from her 'bag', effectively resulting in this trope. Because of the side effects of her powers, most items she pulled out (and re-enlarged) are colored pink.

* In ''ComicBook/AdventureTime'', [[OmnicidalManiac The Lich]] uses one to suck up the entire planet, which he then planned to throw into the Sun.

* ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'': In a way to make fun of Wakko's gag bag, ''Baby Blues'' brought up the diaper bag. Like the description, it has anything the [=MacPhersons=] need. And like the gag bag, they pull out things that can't be in a bag. There's always a running gag at the end of the comic where Wanda says she needs to clean the diaper bag.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': {{Parodied}} in [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2018/2/25 the February 25, 2018 strip]], when Garfield and Jon went grocery shopping. As Jon watched the cashier bag the groceries, he became increasingly shocked when he saw that all the groceries were seemingly fitting into one bag. It was then that Jon noticed Garfield was missing and a loud "burp!" emanated from the bag.

* Zelda's traveller's clothes include a black satchel hanging from her belt that can hold everything she picks up in ''Zelda and the Manacle of Cahla''. The glyphs on it glow when she puts something inside, so it's apparent magic is involved.
* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality,'' Harry has a mokeskin bag that he actually calls a Bag Of Holding. His luggage counts as well.
* George's "closet" in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached''. He can store stuff in some unfathomable limbo by holding a thing and changing into himself not holding it, then retrieve it by changing into himself holding it. So far he can put anything in there that he can actually lift, though he hasn't dared try it with a living creature more complex than a plant.
** In ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', the four pick up a trapped Bag of Holding from the mine-robbers. George puts it in his closet, and they barely think about it thereafter.
* In ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', Ash finds one in the Rota Kingdom that Aura Guardians use alongside their own Aura, and he and his friends make a lot of use of it.
* The Hypercube (a small Rubik's Cube) in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.
* In ''[[Fanfic/MyLittleMagesTheNightmaresReturn My Little Mages: The Nightmare's Return]]'', Twilight has her Tome, a book into which she transfers things she needs to store. Presumably, she can use it for anything, but all we see her stick in it are her airship and the box containing the Elements of Harmony.
* In ''Fanfic/TheTrainerFromAFarAwayLand,'' Sylph Co. technology has hyperspace technology to fit items in a small oval or cube-shaped capsule.

* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13635708/1/Working-for-the-Weekend Working for the Weekend]]'' uses one for his "trips" that he got from Mayor Wilkins. When Buffy points out the impossibility of it, Xander tells her the same thing Mayor Wilkins told him, "Would you rather it be possible, or have the space to take along a dozen rolls of toilet paper?"
* In ''Fanfic/FateParallelFantasia'', one useful minor ability of False Archer's Noble Phantasm, Faust Buckler, is to provide her with infinite extradimensional storage space.

* ''Fanfic/LifeOreDeath'' gives Sportsmaster this trait in his pockets, in a nod to his unremarked-on ability in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' to pull hammers and explosive javelins out of his pockets. Ferris immediately starts salivating over the possibilities, but they aren't FriendlyEnemy enough for him to share.
* ''Webcomic/FateGamersOnly'': Da Vinci gave Rikku a storage device that automatically collects item drops to explain where the protagonist is supposed to store the enormous amount of mats from gameplay.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': A friend of Professor Oak's, Dr. Kim Monocles Boxer, invented the Item Capsule, a device that replicates the ability of a Pokéball to store Pokémon, except that it can do it with any kind of item whatsoever. Ash and his companions get a box of these and use it to store furniture, including beds and wardrobes, which they bring out in their secret bases while traveling for more comfort.
* ''Fanfic/ReturningTheStones'' begins with penultimate scene in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', in which Captain America time travels to return the Infinity Stones. The ''Endgame'' scene shows him only carrying the brief case for the Stones and Mjolnir, but in ''Returning the Stones'' he also brings with him Loki's scepter, a change of clothes, and four Wakanda holocrons.
* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'': The Dimension Box that [[MadScientist Crax]] invents and gifts to Zim is capable of storing anything in a PocketDimension. Zim makes use of it to carry weapons and tools around.

* Nakor the Blue Rider from Raymond E. Feist's ''Literature/TheRiftwarCycle'' has an empty BagOfHolding that seems to contain infinite oranges. He says it's just a regular rucksack with a portable rift hidden inside it, with the other end located in an orange storeroom, but [[TheTrickster this is Nakor we're talking about]], so that may be true, or it may be part of the truth, or it may be a convenient lie. On the one hand, he does pull a lot of oranges (and on a few occasions, apples) out of that empty rucksack. On the other hand, he also pulls out things that no fruit merchant would have in his warehouse - a swarm of angry hornets, a male falcon of the type prized by the Keshian nobility, even a live snake [[spoiler:which is really just a piece of rope - one of Nakor's "tricks"]].

* Nakor from Raymond E. Feist's ''Literature/TheRiftwarCycle'' has an empty BagOfHolding that seems to contain infinite oranges. It's actually a regular sack with a portable rift hidden inside it, with the other end located in an orange storeroom.
** Later comments suggest the other end of the portal is just above a fruit merchant's stand.
** Eventually it starts producing apples instead, whoever's on the other side having apparently changed their storage system.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'':

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' you can fit shields in your adventure pouch, a tiny sack you wear on your belt.
*** He later pulls out a piece of fruit about three feet across, staggering under its weight.

* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'': Bruce Banner built himself one of these, though unusually for this trope, it actually connects to his lab in the same dimension. [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Amadeus Cho]] once defeated an EldritchAbomination by stuffing it inside. Since this meant said abomination was now running around his lab, Banner was annoyed.

--> '''Luigi''': …

--> '''Soul''': Good, you’re up. I’ve put everything in the bag. Ready to go?

--> '''Luigi''': …

* The player character’s bag in ''{{VideoGame/Pokemon}}'', especially newer generations, is like this. It’s divided into areas for poke balls, medicine, [=TMs=], berries, battle items, other items and key items and can fit up to 999 of each item plus things like a fashion case, a bicycle and more.
* A lot of jokes are made about the large items players can carry around in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing''. The furniture items turn into leaves as a nod to the tanuki legend, but there’s also things like the ax, shovel, slingshot, watering can, vaulting pole, net, fishing rod, ladder. Then there’s up to 30 pieces in each slot of various types of wood, branches or iron, 10 fruits per slot, 30 pieces of fencing to a slot, 10 fish bait pet slot, etc, not to mention various clothing items can also fit in it as long as there’s enough slots left. And somehow fish as big as whale sharks will fit in there.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Shrapnel}}'': In the miniseries, Cecilia, a KillerRobot who is roughly the size of an average adult woman, often rests inside a metal briefcase. How she manages to fit in there is anyone’s guess.
