    Received the Joslyn and the Go Go Shoulder bag.

    Hmmmm.... Joslyn smaller than I thought it would be, but looks like it might be a good size for work so will have to give that some thought.

    Not sure about the Go Go. It's massive!!!!! Think it might be too big for me, but it's something I think would be good for a weekend away. It's not lined, though - bit disappointed about that.

    I used the Go Go for a supermarket trip, and folded up in luggage (as an overspill bag) so far. It isn't an everyday handbag, more for when you've got a lot to carry, it has come in useful.

    I agree about the purse. I took the set on holiday to Jersey and when I took my purse out to pay for ice creams the seller commented that I wouldn't lose it :rotfl:. I did find the bag a good size and design on holiday, but for me it was too small for everyday use. The purse was also fine as a holiday purse and I will probably keep it for this as I always take away a smaller purse as I don't need all the loyalty cards etc.

    The bag is the right size for me, have tried the small Alvar (it was tiny :() and the normal Alvar (and found it too big :(). A darker shade of grey would be ok but not impressed with the purse :undecided
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I really like the look of the Very Berry Alvar.

    I have just received the Turquoise Reth and love the design. The turquoise is a very deep, bold colour.

    I cannot possibly justify another bag at the moment sadly. I shouldn't have bought the Reth :o, but decided to make up for it by eBaying. I went into the loft to get a few things this morning. My loft is usually very tidy ( I know how sad :rotfl:), but is chaotic just now as I had started a thorough clear out and then developed sciatica. So it is strewn with things I have started to sort. When picking up things for eBay I felt a nasty twinge in my back. I stood up straighten and to steady myself took a step back..... right onto a box of brand new Emma Bridgewater mugs I had bought as Christmas presents :( :eek:

    Thankfully only one broke, but then I cut my finger carrying the broken mug back down the ladder :(

    I have done the ebay listing, but even if it all sells I don't think it will cover a replacement mug too. So definately no more Kipling bags for a bit .....

    I am waiting for the turquoise Reth ordered matching purse too. Not had a Kipling before. What is the Reth like inside?

    The reth is large and boxy if you stuff it out - so in winter can carry gloves and scarf etc.

    Four large compartments so great for organising.

    I like the Reth, but when I moved things from my Delanna I had to downsize a fair bit. It is a very nice looking bag and I think I will be able to organise stuff well in it. The only downside for me is that it sat in quite and akward way of my hip, I think I need to play around with the strap a bit.
