A carrying case for storing items in a work environment includes a bag element for accommodating items having an access opening at the upper side when the bag element is in its position of use, and a dimensionally stable support frame to which an upper edge region of the bag element in the bag element's position of use is fixed in such a way that the access opening of the bag element is accessible through the support frame. A dimensionally stable holding bracket having a first projection and a second projection is provided on the support frame, permitting the carrying case to be hung from a board-like furniture element in such a way that the first projection makes contact with an upper side of the furniture element and the second projection makes contact with an underside of the furniture element.
