Croatian term or phrase: koferuša
Koferuša je žena koja se odmah po ulasku u vezu sa čovjekom odmah i useljava u njegovu urbanu vilu. Ona je ujedno i sponzoruša, ali i malo više od toga jer traži useljive muškarce.

Reference information:
I agree with Mihailolja. Put "koferuša" in Italics. I just find his phrase "luggage woman" sort of bland :) I'd rather go for something along the lines of "suitcase skank". That roughly conveys the pejorative meaning of "koferuša".
