An £18 Amazon bag is proving to be a hit with shoppers thanks to its similar style to an expensive £101 version that's gone viral on TikTok. The Welltop Travel Duffel Bag on Amazon is £18.99 but looks very similar to the Beis 'Weekender' bag which is currently priced at £101.
Often seen in a variety of 'pack with me' videos, the Beis bag features a separate zippered compartment on the bottom, an internal wet pocket and a trolley sleeve, making it a popular item for travel through airports.
Despite being £82 cheaper, the Amazon bag offers the same flexible design, with a zippered bottom, internal pockets and a trolley sleeve that slips over the handle of a suitcase.

While the more expensive bag features a wire frame double zip opening and is made from poly canvas and vegan leather, the Amazon bag is made from Oxford fabric and is not built with a wire frame. It does feature space to keep essentials organised, as well as a separate zipper compartment on the bottom to keep shoes away from freshly laundered travel fits.
The Amazon buy has already received over 950 reviews. One shopper said: "It's a great size bag for weekends away, surprised at how much I could fit in. Great value for money."
While another who purchased it in the purple pansy colour said: "A good size weekend bag with plenty of pockets and a lovely colour too."
Available in a choice of colours including grey, black, pink, blue, green, purple and pansy, the bag measures 40 x 22 x 42 cm and falls outside the scope of most airlines' maximum free cabin bag measurements, but it would work well for road trips, overnight stays and other short excursions.
If you are looking for something small enough to stow under your seat, the £15.99 Kono Holdall Cabin Bag, also from Amazon, offers 14L of prime packing space and, according to the Amazon website, the Kono bag is cabin approved with most airlines including Ryanair and easyJet, measuring 35 x 20 x 20 cm.
With travel bags becoming a fashion statement thanks to social media, online retailer ASOS is also selling a £21.70 scuba holdall in rose gold that doesn't offer the bottom zipper compartment while the £65 Kin Malmo weekend bag from John Lewis comes with several separate pockets and compartments.
With many of these designer dupes selling out quickly, buyers should be aware that some items may be out of stock in certain colours and if you are planning on using your bag in the cabin of an aircraft, check the carrier's size guidelines before you travel.
As packing enough for a weekend away has become something of an art form online, followers are also clambering to buy other must-have travel accessories as seen on Tik Tok, including wash bags, cosmetic bags and even handy internal organisers.
