My Kipling Soupria arrived today from Amazon.

I've wanted a leather 'hand size' purse as usually have a Radley :eek: (i know) one.
It is black leather & was £20.70 but it's too big for me - will have to return it - shame as it's 'quality'

I think your bag will be lovely crystal. I have a Alvar in gentle grey and love the colour as it goes with so much. I bought a gracy for my daughter (put away for Christmas) and loved the style.

**lowers voice** I have popped Josyln in Turquoise in my bag. I am meant to be staying away from this thread! I bought the Reth in turquoise a couple of weeks ago and love the colour and design. I have now sold four things on eBay which has covered the cost of the Reth. I go back to work on Monday after the holidays and think this might make the perfect work bag to compliment the Reth?

oops that should read basket (as in Amazon basket) not bag

Thanks I also love the gentle grey as my defea is that colour I nearly got the true blue again but thought with winter coming up (think we've had our summer now) it would brighten things up a bit.

I have had the reth and live the shap but for me it just wasn't big enough I am really hoping I have finally found the perfect size.

I am finding that the Reth is a bit tighter on space than my usual handbags. I have a back injury, so carrying less is probably a good idea and the Reth has forced me to take stuff out.

Edit: what I do miss with the Reth is having enough spare space in my bag to put small purchases such as toiletries. I am using the back pocket to hold a couple of the very light folding shopping bags for these things, but that does then mean carrying two bags.

As I've now booked next year's holiday - my quest is too find a smallish Kipling, with handles & strap & many pockets

Tried a Candy but too rigid & small

Tried an Iwi but pocketless

Tried a Fairfax but had to put it in a plastic bag when on the wet rides as it has open pockets

Cammie I have my eye on

Would really like a baby Defea

i too have back and hip problems so should really carry less and thats why i'm going to have to sell my defea as its way to big to carry across body or on shoulder.
I am terrible though i carry everything but the kitchen sink :rotfl:

Snap ant. I too have severe back problems and have also had a stroke although I didn't know that and neither did the medics for years :eek:

A baby Defea is a fantastic idea. I love the 2 zipped pockets at the front as they are idea for my phone but don't need the big compartment space.

Maybe we should petition Kipling and call the monkey Snap-ant :T

Well this one is shown as being quite compact when empty but its huge - so you could use the front pockets for your bits and have the big main section for any shopping. Its supposed to curve nicely round your body when worn across.
