Here my Item Detail View Controller

import UIKit


class ItemDetailViewController: UIViewController {

     var items = [item]()

    var name : String = ""
    var price : String = ""
    var imagee : String = ""

    @IBOutlet weak var labelname: UILabel!

    @IBOutlet weak var image: UIImageView!

    @IBOutlet weak var labelprice: UILabel!

//here the button to add to the table view

    @IBAction func addtobag(_ sender: Any) {

        let viewController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "BagViewController") as? BagViewController
        viewController?.name = self.name
        viewController?.imagee = self.imagee
        viewController?.price = self.price

        viewController?.items = self.items
        navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController!, animated: true)

    }



    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        labelname.text = name
        labelprice.text = price
        image.image = UIImage(named: imagee)

    }

}

And here my Bag View Controller

import UIKit

class BagViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {


    @IBOutlet weak var totalprice: UILabel!

    @IBOutlet weak var tableview: UITableView!
    var items = [item]()

    var name : String = ""
    var price : String = ""
    var imagee : String = ""

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        tableview.delegate = self
        tableview.dataSource = self


        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }

    func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return name.count
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath as IndexPath) as! ShoppingTableViewCell

        return cell
    }        
}

and here my Shopping Table View

import UIKit

class ShoppingTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {    

    @IBOutlet weak var dfs: UIImageView!

    @IBOutlet weak var labelname: UILabel!

    @IBOutlet weak var labelprice: UILabel!

    @IBOutlet weak var stepperlabel: UILabel!


    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

    }

    override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        // Configure the view for the selected state
    }


    @IBAction func stepper(_ sender: UIStepper) {
        stepperlabel.text = String(Int(sender.value))
    } 
}

I think your logic is kind of bad, you're instantiating a VC in code but you have a segue, I recommend you pass data through the prepare function:

// MARK: - Navigation
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    // Get the new view controller using segue.destination.
    if let vc = segue.destination as? BagViewController {
        vc.name = self.name
        vc.imagee = self.imagee
        vc.price = self.price
        vc.items = self.items
    }

    // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}

And in your addtobag IBAction you just will call the segue, I recommend you to use a String based segue extension String+PerformSegue.swift it lets you easily perform segue in a given ViewController like this:

@IBAction func addtobag(_ sender: Any) {
    "nameOfTheSegue".performSegue(on: self)
    // If you don't want to use String+PerformSegue.swift uncomment      
    // the next line and comment the last one.
    // self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "nameOfTheSegue", sender: nil)
}
