It comes in two gorgeous colours, black and light blue.
Although the black option is more practical for travelling, the blue option allows you to add a pop of colour to your holiday outfit.
The bag costs just €16 and comes in one size.
It’s the perfect piece for those who want to travel on a budget and has plenty of space for all your items.
It features two carry handles and one long strap so you can wear it over your shoulder.
And the best part about the item is that it unzips at the bottom to create even more room.
Fashion bosses called the bag “stylish and practical”.
An official description of the item reads: “This expandable black weekender bag is the ultimate travel companion, designed for both style and practicality.
“With plenty of space for essentials, it expands to fit even more, making it perfect for weekend getaways or spontaneous trips.
“Strong handles and a lightweight design ensure comfort, while its sleek look complements any travel style.”
Clever shopper Rachel ended her video clip by showing Ryanair‘s baggage allowance.
There are two options when flying with the airline giant – priority and two cabin bags, or one small bag.
The small bag must fit under the seat in front of you but is free with your flight.
Whereas the priority and two cabin bag option will cost you more.
The new Penneys bag means that jetsetters could save heaps of money by booking the small bag option.
The clever hack means that you don’t have to fork out for a priority ticket but can still bring all your essentials.
The handy bag is within the dimensions of a small bag but fits so much more.
THE HISTORY OF PENNEYS
THE Penneys brand grew from humble beginnings on Dublin’s Mary Street, where it opened its first store in 1969.
Known as Primark outside Ireland, the company was the brainchild of Garfield Weston, who hired Dubliner Arthur Ryan to make his vision reality.
Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total.
However, the Penneys name could not travel to Britain as the American retailer JC Penney had the right to use the name in the region.
And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy.
Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The retailer’s opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019.
It spans five floors and features Primark’s biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.
