The never-ending bag of tricks from Mary Poppins has a 2019 update: Not surprisingly, in the form of a pair of tiny denim shorts with the capacity to hold everything one might need for a festival or concert.

This modern day Poppins is known in the Twittersphere as Liz Nicole. Understood to be from Florida, Nicole posted a picture of herself in cream high-waisted shorts, followed by a second picture with a pocket rolled out to expose its impressive capacity to store essentials.

Nicole demonstrated how three pouches could be filled with money, sunglasses and make-up - and it looks like there's still room for more.

The photo has attracted more than 43, 000 retweets, nearly 150, 000 likes and hundreds of comments from admirers impressed by the addition to the conventional pair of shorts.

One Twitter user said: "This is a brilliant invention!"

While another added: "Maybe I'd stop losing things with these."

She sparked some confusion by captioning the image "My Mum Made It", prompting her followers to request Nicole's mother make them a pair too.

She has since clarified that "My Mum Made It" is actually the brand name.

The brand's official Instagram page shared a story commenting on the success of Nicole's post: "You really sent my shorts viral! I love you guys".
