Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Suitcase loved by celebs is scanning for half-price at Tesco Credit: Facebook 2 The suitcase is a dupe of a celeb-loved £1,130 suitcase Credit: Tiktok @Libbymayfitzpatrick Tesco has slashed the price of its celeb-style roller to just £30, down from £60 and it's sending bargain hunters into a frenzy. The sleek, hard-shell luggage first hit shelves in May, with fans hailing it a dead ringer for the luxury Rimowa Cabin Classic, which would usually set you back a staggering £1,130. Celebs like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have all been seen wheeling the posh case through airport terminals. Now you can get the look for less, and still have money left over for your trip. One eagle-eyed shopper shared the cut-price dupe in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, with the large silver version now scanning for just £30 with a Tesco Clubcard. 'OMG this is literally the Rimowa suitcase,' one fan raved. Another added: 'I put Rimowa stickers on mine – literally can't tell the difference.' The luxe-looking bags come in three sizes – Carry On Cabin (L55 x W35 x D20cm), Medium (L66 x W45 x D25cm) and Large (L77 x W50 x D29cm). They are available in metallic gold or silver. TikTok user Libbie Fitzpatrick previously spotted the cases in her local Tesco and shared a viral video saying: 'Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!' Shoppers rush to snap up Primark's 'underseat suitcase' which is perfect for holidays & it also has removable wheels if you need it to be even smaller But now that they've been marked down, shoppers are racing to snap them up , so if you're after one, don't hang about. The Cabin size also meets EasyJet's strict hand luggage requirements, meaning you can avoid nasty surprise fees at the gate. And if you're flying with Jet2, the dimensions work there too, as long as it weighs less than 10kg. Just a heads up, stock and prices may vary depending on your local store, so it's worth calling ahead before making the trip. With summer holidays in full swing, this bargain buy could be the best thing you pack this year – other than your passport. To unlock the lowest prices, you'll need a Tesco Clubcard, which is totally free to sign up for. You'll earn points every time you shop and can turn them into vouchers for discounts in store or swap them for rewards like meals out, theme park tickets or even Disney+ subscriptions. There's also the Clubcard Plus subscription, which gives you 10% off two big shops every month for £7.99 – perfect if you're stocking up before your summer getaway. So if you're jetting off this summer, now's the time to wheel in the savings.

Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours
The original suitcases have been spotted with celebs like Zendaya and Cara Delevingne SHOP TO IT Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours IF you're jetting off somewhere sunny this year and need a new suitcase, look no further than Tesco The supermarket currently has a dupe of the popular Rimowa brand in stores, and for a bargain price. 2 Libbie showed off her find on TikTok Credit: Tiktok/@libbiemayfitzpatrick 2 The dupes are available in both gold and silver Credit: Tiktok/@libbiemayfitzpatrick You've probably seen the Rimowa suitcases rolling alongside your favourite celebs and influencers without even realising. Stars like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have been photographed with the stylish luggage before, but the Rimowa Classic Cabin will set you back a whopping £1,130 - and prices go up if you want a larger case too. Luckily, one savvy shopper spotted the dupe on the shelves of their local Tesco - and you'll save hundreds. Libbie Fitzpatrick took to TikTok to show off the find - and shoppers can even choose from gold or silver. In the viral video she said: "Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!" The suitcases are priced at £65, but Clubcard shoppers can nab the luggage for just £27.50. Holiday goers took to the comment section of the clip to rave about the find, as one wrote: "They've been reduced a while now, over two weeks!" "I got the blue one a few weeks ago, they didn't have gold and silver then. Still prefer the blue. "Suitcases are so expensive these days so these are a good price on the deal," another wrote. But others weren't sure if plastic suitcases would be a good fit for airport chaos. My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets' Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the suitcases were lightweight, "Please tell me it's light weight and won't take off my allowance," one said. And another agreed: "I don't like hard style cases, they weight a bit more so you can't carry as much." If you are on the hunt for a new suitcase that will stand the test of time, Captain Alexander York, who flies A380s for Emirates, shared his go-to bag that has yet to let him down. The 40-year-old has been using the exact same suitcase for over a decade and knows which cases are more likely to end up being duds. He told 9Travel: "I've been using a large hard case Samsonite for over 15 years and it's served me well." Hard-shell luggage is rigid and usually made of plastic or metal, while soft-shell cases are typically made of fabric and are more flexible. While he did not name a specific one, Samsonite said its hard-shell suitcases are typically made from "high-quality materials like polycarbonate or aluminium." Alexander recommended hard cases over soft ones, despite their higher weight, as he believes softer ones are at a greater risk of damage. He said: "I think bags with exposed wheels, or soft pouches are bound to be damaged, so I'd stick with the hard case."

Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
