Paravel’s Travel Fold Up Bag is a chic holdall bag that looks stylish on your shoulder, comes in lightweight fabric and stores away easily.

The weekend travel bag folds fully flat like a Kindle for you to pop into its neat little pouch when you’re not using it, while allowing you to carry everything you need for a short break when you fold.

Available from Amazon for £66.61, the beautiful design comes in five colours, including Safari Green and Scuba Navy.

Its contrasting canvas straps mean you can carry it in your hands or wear it on your shoulders and if you want a lightweight cabin bag that sits nicely onto your 4-wheel suitcase, there’s even a sleeve for sliding it over the handle.

What’s more, even Oprah Winfrey’s a fan and recommended it as one of her favourite things in 2018.

Thanks to Amazon, the must-have weekender from American label Paravel is available to UK customers. Travellers who have already bought it have praised it for being “surprisingly sturdy,” “easy to fold and unfold” and “pretty”.

One customer wrote in their Amazon review: “Glad I took Oprah’s advice on this one! I have a bit of an obsession with bags, which means I’ve purchased a lot, and this is the most durable packable bag I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned a few).

“Packable bags can look (and be) pretty flimsy and cheap-looking, but this has more structure and looks as nice as any traditional bag…nicer than many, in fact. It’s also quite roomy.

“And while I usually opt for black (and I did purchase black for a gift), I’m glad I went with this tomato red because its cheery colour brightens my travel day”.

Another fan of the bag added: “The nylon is glossy, soft and so durable. It holds loads of stuff. It seems like it will last a long time. I love this bag.”
