The high-street favourite has launched a new range of cabin bags on wheels, all of which are approved by budget airlines, making them perfect for your next getaway.
Primark’s collection includes a zebra-striped hard shell suitcase, complete with a matching carry-on bag that fits neatly on top.
The suitcase boasts a built-in lock for added security and is designed to fit all your essentials for a weekend away.
Sharing her packing tips on Primark’s Instagram account, one woman demonstrated how she used matching dividers to stay organised, fitting in her outfits, a fan, toiletries, and even a hairbrush.
The compact carry-on provided extra space for additional toiletries, ensuring she was travel-ready in style.
Primark captioned the video: “Stay organised from takeoff to touchdown – and look good doing it.”
The post quickly gained traction, receiving 3,100 likes and a flurry of comments from eager shoppers.
One wrote, “I need this,” while another tagged a friend, urging them to check it out.
Simple packing method
TikTok user Emma Louise, also known as ‘emmalouisestyling,’ shared a video showcasing her clever approach to packing a “minimal case for a week away.”
Her straightforward 3x3 method guarantees you’ll have all the essentials for your trip, without overpacking.
Emma starts by checking the weather forecast to make sure she includes practical items suited to the conditions.
She explains: “I don't want to get caught out with the wrong coat or the wrong shoes.”
Emma then selects three bottoms, three tops, and three layering pieces, ensuring all the items coordinate in terms of colour.
To complete her looks, she adds accessories that complement her outfits, ensuring everything works seamlessly together.

With her items chosen, Emma begins assembling outfits to make sure she has enough options for at least a week, along with a few spares in case anything gets dirty.
She says: “Technically, with the 3x3 method, you should be able to create 27 outfits.”
