This TikTok Famous Bag Costs $19

If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen a lot of videos of people carrying a tote without a logo. The tote, which comes in olive green and beige, can be converted into a backpack and can fit a lot of things, including a laptop, a water jug , a lunchbox, books and many others.

The Ikea Drömsäck Tote Bag is made of recycled polyester and comes in two colors. “Using waste as a resource takes us one step closer to a more sustainable future,” said Ikea in its website.

The Drömsäck is not a new design but like many objects and things (Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser and baked feta pasta), it took the video sharing app TikTok to make it go viral. Because it’s TikTok famous, the tote is now sold out in the US and the UK.

Let’s see why this bag is so covetable:

It can be carried as a backpack, on the shoulder or in the hand. The Drömsäck has compartments inside a mobile phone and a 14" computer/tablet as well as a security compartment where you can keep your valuables. You can attach to a key chain in the bag’s outer pocket.

Inside the bag, there’s a compartment for cards. When you’re traveling, you can place your train cards so it can be scanned directly through the fabric when you pass the ticket gate.

The zipper at the top is easy to close and the red zipper matches the red plaid lining,

The backpack fabric is also water-repellent.

In 2019, an Ikea travel backpack with wheels Förenkla also became Internet famous. Like the Drömsäck, the Förenkla has hidden compartments.

The outer compartment can hold your keys, mobile phone or anything else you need close at hand such as your passport and other documents.

There is a compartment at the base of the bag that can hold shoes and an inner mesh compartment for cables and chargers. Of course, there’s a compartment for your laptop while the side opening lets you access items with difficulties.
