Just got a Kipling for $40 and love it. Got advice on a Kipling from a LV thread and realized that I no longer will take my LVs to a water park.
Hey, you’re already here! :D

Yay I love Kipling, I have a cosmetic case that I love love love, it has several compartments and it’s very light… I’ll come back with some pics..
 
Here is my new Kipling hanging out with LV beauties. Lost the gorilla. She now lives on my little daughter's backpack.

Haha, this is too fun. Can't wait for pics!
 
I have some Kiplings in my collection. It's very durable and worry-free. I practically use it until I'm bored with it and have to give it away coz it never broke.
 
Really loving my new Kipling Europa in Barclay Brown (it's a medium large convertible crossbody). It's usually labeled as Espresso color on most websites. Took it to a ball game where it rained and we were sitting on wet bleachers, my Kipling was completely dry by the time we headed towards the parking lot.

While I love my designer bags, the last time I took my LV Speedy into NYC, I ended up lugging what amounted to a 15-lb brick on my hands all day. What a pain. My beloved MJ Stams are really lovely for going into town locally when I'm on my own and nobody sees my bag as a free-for-all dumping container, grr. :)

I decided as soon as I came home, I promised myself I would go for Kipling, especially when I'm making more casual trips into the city and walks with the kids. The Kipling bags hold a lot and something about the weight distribution makes my Europa feels lighter.

I didn't have as much good luck with the Kipling Gorillz (?) line of flat pouches, I purchased a multi-compartment pouch with the wrist strap and have barely used it and I'm not sure if it's because I'm using it for wrong purpose (i.e. makeup) rather than gadgets. It's beautiful silky nylon.
 
ok here’s mine, I got the “True Blue Alvar" I think it’s called, and my little pets are called Matt and Don.

This is my go-to bag for travel, hiking, beach, water parks, rain, etc… but once I take it out I like to keep it around a few extra days because it’s very comfortable and practical.

I like this bag so much that I decided to buy it in blue because if I had it in black I would probably not need to change purses ever again, and then my hubby starts asking why I have those other bags if I’m so happy with my trusty Kipling :D

The bag has two main compartments, one has a zippered pocket inside, and the other side has sleeves for phone, pens and camera. The front zipper pockets are not as roomy but I use for flat things like lipstick, boarding passes, etc.. to keep a thin profile. The bag is so unstructured that it molds to the body while moving and the strap is very comfortable and easy to adjust to go from crossbody to shoulder easily.

My favorite is the cosmetics case, it has several compartments, I put make up on one side, other knick knacks on the other side, some cash and receipts in the middle zippered one, and the two small pockets in between are perfect for business cards and some sweetener. This little case prevents me from “investing” in a more classy alternative. I like it and it does it’s job, it’s all I need for now. :shrugs:

Best part is I got this on sale at Macy’s plus I had a 20% off pass and it cost me almost nothing, I can’t remember exactly how much but I left the store smiling :D

Sorry I wrote a novel, I just really love my bag. So nice to see other Kipling fans here :wave:
