Well you'd better get in quick before the price goes up - you can always return if you change your mind. A bit big as a handbag but if you need to carry books its perfect.Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. -- Sally Koch0

Saw a few Kipling bags in TK Maxx today. A shopper bag in the brown Combo, £24.99, a rucksack in Expresso Brown £40 and a large Fairfax in blue (not sure of exact shade) for about £40 as well.
Popped in today and could only find 1 kipling - a laptop bag in black, was very nice but I already have the Elvir for my laptop - good price though £23.
pretty sure it was this one http://www.javari.co.uk/Bags-Accessories-Business-Laptop-Bags/s?node=217550031#__ie%3DUTF8%26cAsin%3DB004YV26GW%26fromPage%3Dsearch%26sr%3D1-14%26qid%3D1364928183074%26clientPageSize%3D100%26node%3D217550031%26sort%3Dshoesbrowserel2%26asin%3DB004CJ83NG%26ref%3Dsr_1_14%26pageCode%3Dd0 -
Returning two and only shows Collect+ so have emailed.
My tangerine Alvar arrived and is very orange - but will think about it!Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. -- Sally Koch0 -
Yes my hubby thought it bright red too!
Looks like there's more issues about returns as they seem to be saying if I don't go to Collect+ they'll have to send a van! Still emailing. Its hardly free returns if you have to drive a few miles to a Collect point though.Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. -- Sally Koch0 -
I think they were having some problems online as once the only option I had was to return it to a drop off point - highly inconvenient.
I emailed them and they said there was a problem with the website not showing the options properly and they made a pre-paid label for me to return it no problem.
If I were you I'd try emailing to ask - though now you have paid they might not refund anything. They might return something - I know if you cannot print out and pay the return postage they refund you about £3 something I think.
thank you very much - I emailed them. The strap on the watch was a little on the small side so I mentioned this. I got a refund of the postage. They confirmed only certain items that can vary in size from brand to brand have a free return.
I will check the returns policy in future
many thanksThe Cabbage

My Vintage Fairfax & my Black Heather Defea arrived today :T:T
Loving them both as they have black linings rather than the traditional blue or grey. Which I feel spoils some prints.
I bought the Defea Flower Print but sent it back as it had blue lining & made the outer fabric look 'off colour'
- You would think Kipling would of put a white lining with such a pretty print 
I've also got a black lacquer Defea - unused because it has blue liningOur Family Motto ~If all else fails - read the instructions...

My Elise in mitchell blue arrived yesterday but don't like the colour. I've decided to stick to neutral shades. I've ordered an Indira in light brown instead. I wanted to order before the 20% off deal ends.

We're not having much luck are we? My silver grey Himi, which looked really pale, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kipling-Unisex-Adult-Silver-K08319870/dp/B007V985K0/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1365107168&sr=1-1&keywords=himi It came as more of a dingy medium grey. The piping around the seams had a silvery look, rather like those reflective badges on kids clothing so that they can be seen at night.
It was just the size I was expecting though - suitable for a small purse, keys, small camera; with a small pouch on the front for a mobile phone. I was impressed to see it had a magnetic fastening rather than velcro though. If you like small handbags, this one is lovely.
I was going to send it back anyway, but my eldest daughter loved it, and bought it off me. I've a feeling that she might be after the blue/purple one that I ordered because I liked it better, too.
