Halley, from Perth , was amazed by the pricetag and versatility of the PU Weekender Bag, which she compared to $500 baby bags. The stand-out feature was the hidden compartment at the bottom which can be used to store dirty shoes, wet clothes or snacks.

'When I tell you I saw it from a mile away and was like "what is that?"' she said in a six-minute TikTok video. Halley was impressed by the carry bag designed with inner pockets, striped lining, short carry handles and adjustable shoulder strap. 'Kmart can't keep doing this to be because I'm literally going to go bankrupt .

.. my plan is to use it as a baby bag,' Halley said.

The tote bag is large enough for the busy mum to carry water bottles, snacks, nappies, a change of clothes for her toddler and lunchboxes all day with ease. The bottom compartment can also be used to store cool snacks with an icepack as it's lined with a plastic covering.
