Primark is selling a £17 Roll Top Backpack that bears a resemblance to a more expensive Eastpak model, currently priced at £45.50 (down from £65) at London Luggage. The budget-friendly bag, available in four colours including yellow, navy, black, and ecru, is described as a 'roll-top backpack with zip-up sections,' making it potentially suitable for cabin luggage on flights.
The Primark backpack's yellow version is similar in design to the Eastpak Medium backpack with laptop sleeve in tarp yellow. Both feature a roll-top closure, front pocket, and zip fastening. However, the Primark bag has a black base that the Eastpak lacks, and differences in fabric and construction are expected given the price disparity.
Primark does not provide a detailed product description for the backpack, which is made from polyester, but offers multiple images on its website. Customers can purchase the bag via click and collect or check in-store availability. The Eastpak alternative, meanwhile, boasts a 30-year warranty, water-resistant fabric, a padded laptop compartment, and a bottle holder.
For those with a larger budget, John Lewis sells the Samsonite Ecodiver Rolltop Large Cabin Backpack in yellow for £125. This 35L bag is water-resistant and designed for comfort and security, suitable for outdoor adventures and city use.
