Received a postcard from QVC... never had this happen before! The card says they have a Kipling bag as the TSV on Tuesday 24th September. It's the Zelta... but I can't find it anywhere on QVC or Amazon or even on the Kipling website. :huh:

This is what the postcard says:

Classically simple and simply beautiful, we can't get enough of Zelta: roomy and right on-trend, it's the must-carry accessory of the season. Swing into action with Zelta as a shoulder bag, a handheld or even wear it across your body. Stash your phone and all your fun stuff in the compartments, and you're ready for autumn.

Zelta dazzles in siz hot colours, two of which we are launching in the UK on QVC.

Hmmm... sounds interesting!

By they way 7roland8, that defea looks much nicer in your photo than it did on the Amazon pic. I'm looking forward to receiving mine now


EDIT Found this on QVC Germany (I think).. I wonder if this is it?

Yes that is the one. I managed to order mine a week or two ago when the TSV showed on the website for a while. I got it in both the Bird (Vipin) print and the Blue Snake. A great bag!

Here's the info:
QVC Price: £58.00
Today's Special Value Price: £47.97
P&P: £4.95

And here is what I wrote down for another forum when I got mine:

I got the bird print (also know as the vipin print) and the blue snake. Love them both and will keep them both. It might be worth noting that the bird print has a pink monkey (I already knew this) and the blue snake appears a bit darker in reality than on most Internet photos (indeed, just like most Kipling bags do).

The size is similar to the Nagato for those familiar with that. I love bags the size of Nagato, Defea, Gabbie etc so this is totally for me. If you prefer bags like Alvar, and smaller, this might be too big for you. It will not fit an A4 binder but takes an ipad no problem (as long as you don't have a massively bulky cover that adds a lot height/width wise).

It's fully lined everywhere (even outside pockets) and both my prints come with the new lining with dots/monkeys.

I believe it's a QVC only bag as it does have the extra long strap (not a wide one like on the Defea though) which I personally love, being tall. Strap is attached with clips so can be removed. Carrying handles are generous and should fit most people even with big winter coats.

What you can see on the front of the bag is a pocket that is nearly the height of the bag. Velcro. Lined. And goes does all the way to the bottom of the bag.

On the very back is a compartment at a similar height. All along the width of the bag and down to the bottom. Lined. Zipped. Love this!

The middle of the bag has three different zips (like Follo does). One at either side. Tall, using all the width and length of the bag but no real depth. Lined.

The middle zip (slightly lower than the two that are on either side) is the main compartment with a decent width to it. Key fob. One pen slot and the usual two mobile compartments, one slightly wider than the other. Also it has the usual zipped compartment on the back of the inside. Pretty long zip and a more generous sized pocket than on some bags.

Monkey on blue snake is Jane. Monkey on bird print is Alyssa.

Hope this was of some help Please ask if I can answer something else... Tried to think of everything!

I think (and can't guarantee that I remember this correctly)....

There were two prints, the bird and the blue snake. This I know for sure

Then 4 plain colours:
- the blue that's featured on the card from QVC (looks similar to the blue in the blue snake, would bet it's the same colour with the same monkey)
- black I think
- a pale beige-type colour. Could very well be Caffe Latte.
- a bright pink (I think maybe Very Berry or possibly Peony)

Amazon colour


Actual colour

Much prefer your actual colour and lining is really nice, think I could have lived with that colour - I hate work

Yes colour looks quite different to the Amazon picture for the Olive Defea.

That Zelta bag looks super with all the pockets.

Oh yes meant to say - I have my credit card bill today showing what I'd spent on Amazon and the credits back - make sure you check yours as I had £19 back when I had been charged £25 for one item - emailed to get it sorted and they refunded no problem - but I'll have to go through the whole lot now as I had a lot of purchases and refunds over the last few weeks.

Absolutely love my Defea! Bought it to use as a flight bag for my hols & it went everywhere including the beach!

Still using it now as an everyday bag for work, shopping, outings with grandchildren!

I'd like another one for winter and I've been looking at black Heather. Has anyone seen this in the flesh? Don't want it to look like it's faded in the wash

I have the gracy in black heather and love it! And I would purchase the black heather again in another style. I must admit though my favourite every buy was the defea in true blue...
