Shame on you. She’s not wearing a carpet bag. She’s wearing the carpet. (No ill-conceived pun intended.)

Historical note: a “carpet-bag” is so called because it’s made of carpet material. Carpet-bags provided an alternative to a steamer trunk for those who did not wish (or could not afford) to travel with a porter. It was the forerunner of modern lightweight luggage intended to be carried by the traveler.
