Kipling Bags

Hi All,

I have fancied a kipling bag for a while. It seems like they will go with most outfits and suitable for work and casual wear.

The thing is there is only one stockist near me so getting to see the bags is hard!

I have had a Radley bag and purse before (approx 5 years old). The purse is fine but the bag is wearing. I just wondered what Kipling bags were like? Do they last long etc

Someone at work has the Kipling Malaita (I think) and this looks a decent size.

Can anyone recommend any bags (or purses) and where to get them from?

I know House of Fraser has a discount this weekend but I don't want to rush into it!

TIA

    I love Kipling bags as they are great for casual things and you can get a ton in them. They last amazingly well. I have some that are ancient and they still look good. The label says you can't wash them, but I find handwashing works well.

    They are very overpriced though so I only buy them at the Bicester outlet shop (all mine were 50-75% off).

    If you decide to get one I would definitely go for one of the more classic styles in a neutral colour. I have a black one and it's smart enough for work. Some of the trendy bags they do just look naff.
