Virginia lies about case (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

valise

'case' is the definition.
(valise is a kind of case)

'virginia lies about' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lies' with letters rearranged gives 'lise'.
'va'+'lise'='VALISE'

(Other definitions for valise that I've seen before include "Elvis A? (anag)" , "Overnight case" , "Small travelling bag or suitcase" , "Travel bag" , "Small piece of luggage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
