Dunelm's Palermo Fold Out Holdall, currently priced at £17.50 (down from £24.50), offers a clever combination of a garment carrier and a carry bag, designed to keep clothes crease-free during travel. The bag has received a 4.2 out of five-star rating from shoppers.
Design and Features
Unlike a standard holdall, the bag opens out to provide space for hanging clothes, making it useful for keeping dresses, shirts and suits neat while travelling. Once clothes are packed away, it folds back into a holdall and is secured with a sturdy zip.
The space-saving design has gained attention online, with similar garment bag and holdall hybrids 'going viral' with shoppers seeking a more practical packing solution. It could also be used as a cabin bag on selected airlines, but passengers should check the maximum measurements of their preferred carrier before they fly.
Shopper Reviews
Shoppers who have purchased the bag have given it a 4.2 out of five-star rating. One buyer called it "excellent quality and value for money", adding: "This bag is much bigger than I realised...A number of zip pockets and a slot to put whole bag over trolley handle. Extremely pleased especially as only cost me £17.50 in the sale."
Another added: "Love the way the holdall opens up fully so you can lay your dresses out. Nice and spacious too." A third said: "Fabulous holdall much better than expected lovely colour very happy with this purchase."
Most reviews were glowing, but one buyer noted: "Great size bag lots of room for suit, toilet bag and shoes etc. has a very long strap that can be shortened if you wish or carry with the handles. The zips all link up but long top zip has a tendency to ride down so I needed to tie them together, that's why it's not a 5 star review."
Alternatives and Collection
Despite the zipper concern, another shopper said: "Fabulous design, holds far more than I had anticipated. Perfect for long weekend or even a week with lighter summer clothes. Leaves clothes completely covered and crease-free and still with plenty of room for shoes, toiletries etc....amazing product with matching additional items. Would highly recommend."
