IKEA 901.491.48 Frakta Storage Bag, Blue, 4 Pack

Size great; sturdy item

If you need to move clothes or are just needing additional storage for off season clothing, man these are awesome! Handles and overall build quality is fantastic.

A friend gave me a couple of these bags to borrow for a recent move and I loved them so much I had to buy more. Ikea doesn't sell them in their US stores any longer so I came to Amazon to find them. Love these bags. They hold so much and are durable, have a zipper and a backpack option too. Highly recommend.

I've tried every other type of ikea/large capacity bag and these are hands down the best and I would order them again in a second. What makes this bag great for storing and carrying during a move is: the full zip, large rectangular shape that actually holds it's shape despite the flexible material, and THE STRAPS that I used as a "backpack" style to carry clothing and more during a move that I otherwise wouldn't have been strong enough to carry in a box or by hand. I took my clothes (and other items would work just as well) that were hanging in my closet, folded them in half and put them in these and they were a lifesaver! An entire master closet fit in three of these bags and allowed me to carry them on my back, which was the most helpful thing as I was moving as a single woman and had to get as much as possible as quickly as I could on my own. This not only saved me space and allowed me to carry much more weight because of the "backpack" straps (I don't have a Frakta cart), this allowed me to carry boxes and other bulky items in my hands which saved me many trips up and down stairs. I used these same 3 I purchased for multiple trips with maximum (if not too much) weight in them and only one strap on one of the bags pulled out from the threading just a little, but it's actually still functional and hasn't broken if I carry it without putting too much weight in it. However, I really do think the quality holds up just as well as the functionality because I knew I put too much weight in the bags and made multiple trips with them on my back...so that wasn't at all unexpected it was just my fault of going over the capacity and having the straps pulled for too long.Versatile for storage for many different items, super handy to have for moving items or if you are someone like myself and live alone in an apartment where just carrying groceries can be a tough situation or require multiple trips, these are awesome to keep on hand! I even keep one in my car now as I have been able to haul items from bulky groceries to multiple boxes of Goodwill items in just one trip. For the price, just buy these if you're considering it! They made a horrible move much easier and they just make life easier. Strong, holds so much and can utilize straps for different ways to carry as well as for carts.

We love these bags for shopping

For the price, these bags are great! I doubt they'll hold up to much punishment, making them fine for storage... not great for frequent transport of stuff. The size seems perfect for clothing in that you can't really over load them with weight they can't handle unless you're using them for something heavier than clothing. I packed one overfull with pants (mostly blue jeans) and it held up. So if you think the size could be bigger... that's probably why. More space and you'd need bulkier seams and handles. Fill it with books and it will surely be short lived.They're made of that blue tarp material with the ripstop. So once you pack it with your summer t-shirts and stick it on a shelf, your clothes are protected from dust, moisture, bugs, etc.Also handy for a move. Much better to sling a series of stackable bags to a truck or a storage pod than putting your clothes in huge cardboard boxes that are:- awkward to carry without them falling apart.- absorb moisture inviting mold issues if you're storing for a while.- leave you with boxes to break down and recycle (and normally in bad condition after one use.These bags however...- Pack 'em and Stack 'em in bite size chunks.- a sharpie labels what's inside quite well. So mark on the same spot for each bag and it's easy to find what you're looking for.- For a move, you end up with reusable bags that take zero space so you're set for your next move.- Clothing is protected from water, mold, etc. (tip: toss a dryer sheet in for long term storage.Don't expect to haul bricks, but for the designed purpose, it's a convenient and economical option.Reserving one star until I see how well the seams hold up.

If you're a college student who has to move to and from dorms every other semester, I'd highly recommend these. Only one of them broke after three moves. They can fit a good amount of stuff, and being able to wear them on your back is very helpful when moving!

These are my favorite bags ever for moving. When I couldn’t find them in store at ikea, I was so glad to find them on Amazon. I went with these and not the knock off ones because these ikea ones have back straps so you can wear the bag on your back and carry it. These bags hold SO much. Definitely worth the investment if you’re thinking about getting them to move! I have used these for 3 moves now and I haven’t had a bag break on me yet. Only downside is after you use them, they don’t nicely fold down into a small fold anymore, so when you store them again, don’t expect them to fold down nicely as they will have wrinkles.
