This $24 Suitcase Organizer Doubles As a Garment Bag — and It’s Going Viral on TikTok

Now that more and more people are receiving their coronavirus vaccinations, traveling is on the mind of many — especially since destinations like Europe are likely to open up for American travelers come summertime. Google searches about vacationing are skyrocketing, and travel accessory reviews are having a major moment on social media apps like TikTok. 

One video about a garment bag has garnered more than 650,000 views and over 77,000 likes since being posted on March 30. In the clip, user @teresalauracaruso shows how to best use the organizer, which has the ability to fold into suitcases and hang in closets. 

“Start by hanging it up and packing everything you need,” they explained. “Once it’s full, you can fit the entire thing in your luggage and then use the buckles to flatten it. Then, when you arrive at your destination, all you have to do is pull it out and you’re basically unpacked and ready to go.”

The polyester organizer is compact enough to fit into carry-on bags, yet somehow still manages to hold multiple pairs of shoes, pants, and shirts, according to Amazon reviewers. One wrote that they managed to pack a week’s worth of clothing into the accordion-style packer. “I am amazed at how well this fit in my suitcase and how much it will hold,” another admitted, adding, “I wish I had bought two!”

The glory of this gadget lies in its space-saving capabilities, as well as its extra features, like a bottom slot that holds dirty clothes. The zip-up compartment helps separate soiled and clean clothing, and since it’s on the bottom of the organizer, it doesn’t touch any clean or folded garments.
