Foldable Duffle Bag For Travel Women Men SA Approved Personal Item Bags

I got this bag before a trip to Europe. I wanted as big a "personal item" as possible, so was glad to find this. It's pretty lightweight but is very durable. I was able to stuff it with quite a lot of items (a change of clothes--nothing worse than arriving without your checked luggage, book, iPad mini, sweater for the flight, snacks, quart bag with liquids, etc. etc. etc. I did not need to unzip the bottom for extra space, but was glad to have that feature. I did use the snaps on the side--I guess their purpose is too make the bag look smaller?? The snaps came unsnapped right away when I used the bag straps, so that was a worthless feature. I think a loop button feature would hold better for that purpose. There are 3 pockets on the front. I had a water bottle in one (will hold a plastic 16.9 oz. bottle--probably not the wider reusable bottles, though), my book, small magazines, and such in the middle, and gum/candy in the other pouch. The best part, though, is in the back. Yes, that gap was wide enough that I could easily fit the bag onto the carry handle of my suitcases (both my smaller hardside carry on and my larger suitcase). I love that! The zipper pouch is big enough for a passport. I did have a few other flat items in it, but don't overstuff it. The passport will fit easily, but should go in first, as the outer edge with the zipper will partially cover it before you zip it closed. I noticed one reviewer complained that it didn't work with their bag--but they were using a very soft-sided bag under it. If you are going to stuff this bag, it will work best on a sturdy piece of luggage (hard or soft-side)--not a "mushier" soft bag. That said: with this bag (which was well stuffed, mind you), it did sometimes make my carry-on bag tip over if I wasn't careful, and the 4 wheels of my carryon didn't run as smoothly. I just used 2 wheels when moving at a clip, and that was fine. The bag did really well and still looks great. I had enough room under the seat to put a foot on either side of the bag (under the seat in front of me). The color I wanted (black with brown handles) came with a "wash bag" (toiletries bag). I didn't end up taking it, but I kind of wish I had. It is also really sturdy and roomy.

**UPDATE: I have now used this tote to travel and i LOVE it. It is a sneaky good bag as I originally stated because it just looks like a regular tote. The fabric is thick and sturdy. There is a well-lined wet pocket inside. The expandable bottom is for real, not some lame inch or two but 4-5” of area that translates into quite a bit of extra cubic space. The carrying straps held up well as they also are very sturdy . This bag is well made and I would buy several more to gift to others because it will become my “emergency” carry on from now on. This is a travel must-have. I bought this to gift last year but ended up not giving it. I realized I still had it in my stash so I took it out to gift this year and have decided again to not. This time, I think I want to keep it for myself. I have an international flight in a few days so I may use it. The quality of the straps, bag fabric and stitching are all excellent. It is a high quality bag for a steal of a price. Roomy enough for at least a 2-3 day trip (carry on only), if not more. The bottom has an expandable/collapsible section and the zipper also feel strong and high quality. There is also an included carrying, cross body strap…also strong and well-made. I can’t stress enough that the bag is sturdy while being pretty.

This very popular viral bag has it's purpose. If you are wanting a structured weekend bag like the Beis Weekender, there are better options (I got mine from Sam's Club and it is a PERFECT dupe of it, quality and all.) I bought my mom the Beis Weekender in beige back in 2020 and she has gotten some good use of it but it's too big for a personal item. This bag, since it's not as structured and formed as the canvas Beis bag, can easily be used as a personal item, even expanded. It's hard to make a structured bag fit when it's over-limits but a bag that is maleable like this one can easily be stuffed under an airplane seat. This bag sits nicely on top of luggage and stays fairly slim, even when packed full. SOme bags seem to widen when full, making them harder to stay within the alotted personal item dimensions. When I got this bag, I was disappointed because it looked structured in photos. I ended up getting my Sam's club dupe and I use that all the time when visiting my BF's parents. This bag, which I bought in pink, matches my pink Solgaard suitcase and makes a nice pair for flying. With this packed full, I can get by without checking a bag and still manage to take 70L worth of belongings with me on a trip. I see more and more people leaning this way and trying to avoid the baggage claim, the $70 extra charges, possible lost luggage, damaged luggage, and aiming for an easier, smoother travel process this way. This bag also has snaps on the top to keep the top within the dimensions, thus also appearing smaller. It's made from a very thick, durable nylon-type fabric that has a subtle sheen to it. The lining is a basic material, and there are a total of 4 pockets on the outside, 1 large waterproof one inside, and 2 smaller pockets made for a cell phone and a power bank on the inside. My only complaint is that there is no dedicated space for a laptop or ipad in this bag. You'll have to either have a suitcase that has a front pocket for a laptop or put it in a case and then put it in the bag. The waterproof interior pocket does hold my 10.2" ipad. This is priced very reasonably and in so many colors, you're bound to find one to match your suitcase. I typically wear a small purse to the airport that holds my essentials (phone, passport, wallet) and then when getting ready to board, put that small purse inside my personal item bag, that way I still get to keep all of the important stuff on me. I have a backpack that actually has a detachable purse that clips on to the backpack and I love that for airport travel as well. So far, I haven't found a tote bag that has this feature yet. Between these totes, compression cubes, and packable neck "pillows", I don't think I'll ever check a suitcase again! I can now get about 80L worth of stuff on the plane with me.

I purchased this travel duffel bag as a gift for my sister, and she absolutely loves it. She was impressed with how much it holds while still being lightweight and easy to carry. The bag has plenty of room for travel essentials, gym clothes, and everyday items, and the multiple compartments help keep everything organized. The quality feels nice for the price, and the design is both stylish and practical. It's a versatile bag that can be used for weekend trips, the gym, or as a carry-on. Pros: Spacious with lots of storage Lightweight and comfortable to carry Multiple pockets for organization Stylish and versatile Makes a great gift Cons: None so far Overall, this was a successful gift purchase, and my sister has already started using it regularly.

Good quality, have traveled with it for a year now, no threads loose and doesn't dirty. Perfect travel companion, lots of good pockets, slides over suitcase handle and stays snug. This does carry iPads well but no laptop pocket(wouldn't recommend). Material is sturdy and wipes clean, good leisure travel bag.

I got this for my carryon bag for a European trip. It was perfect! I held everything I needed on the plane including what normally goes in my purse, my sweater, my tablet, charging cables and a change of clothes. It also fit under the seat in front of me and I still had room for my feet! I had no trouble with meeting the size requirements of the sirlines for my bag! It is well made and very durable. I like that you can expand the size if needed, but even with all of that in there, I didn't need to expand it. Perfect travel bag!

The bag looks and feels great. Looks like pictured and seems to have plenty of room in it. fully opened I do not think it will fit under a seat but should easily fit in an overhead bin. I really like that there is a loop on the back of the bag so it can be put on your luggage.

Love this! I mainly use this as a gym bag, but I have also used it as a travel bag. Pros: 1.) super spacious. I really appreciate the expandable feature, which I rarely have to use with the bag being a good size. 2.) lots of pockets inside and out 3.) water proof pocket makes it easy to take toiletries and not worry about them spilling onto other items 4.) big enough to pack for a long weekend trip Cons: 1.) Although I appreciate the expandable part, I do wish it had a separate compartment for shoes, but you can't have the best of both worlds sometimes 2.) The bag does get dirty and I have not washed it yet, so I am not sure how easy it is to fully clean. I have taken a lint roller to the inside and wiped down the outside with a colorox wipe, and that has seemed to work well Truly the pros outweigh the cons and I am able to fit everything I need into this bag. I really like how much room and pockets it has. I use this daily and it has held up well

Worth the price. Very spacious. Looks sturdy. Not used yet. 3 pockets inside, 4 pockets outside. I washed it before use, the stitching seems a bit loose now. overall neat work.

Use this when going to the pool. Waterproof, great storage, wet gear go in the bottom compartment. Fantastic idea. Money well spent.

La compré para mi esposa y le ha sido de mucha utilidad, tiene gran capacidad de almacenamiento y el color le encantó.

Me gustó mucho, cabe todo! De buena calidad, buenos terminados, muy brillante!

El producto llegó más rápido de la fecha promesa, es una buena bolsa que utilizaré en mi próximo viaje. Es amplia y con compartimientos que ordenarán lo que llevaré. Tiene el asa para colgar al hombro, si lo deseo, o para hacer viajes de fin de semana, y cuenta con la manga para colocarla en la maleta de ruedas, eso permite viajar cómodamente sin necesidad de cargar una mochila en la espalda. El color es el que elegí, me gustó mucho. Estoy complacida con mi compra.
