    Not heard of any codes - apart from them doing 25% or something off specific bags - but no code.

    My Yelinda arrived today. I love the True Blue colour, but it is perhaps a bit too compact for an everyday bag for me.

    I had a problem with my new Alvar today. The lining fabric got stuck in the zip. It took twenty minutes and lots of vaseline to free it up. I have never had this problem before with a Kipling. Is it the design of the Alvar or was I just unlucky?

    I've had an Alvar since July and never had a problem with it. I love it! I like the style with zips on the front for easy access to your stuff when you are out, on the go and in a rush. I don't like having to open up a bag to do that. It annoys me that it has no back pocket though, but still plenty of space.

    Can I just say, I wish they'd done a Defea in that colourful tropic flower print, I would have loved that :(

    I got a true blue Gwendolyn on the lightening deal at 6pm for £24.90. I loved the true blue colour when my Yelinda arrived so have decided to Ebay my bigger bags ( a turquoise Jocelyn and a caffe latte Delanna) as I don't have so much to go with those colours. Has anyone tried eBay Kipling bags? Do they sell okay?

    I sell quite a few of mine. Depends what they are really, but they've never failed to sell.

    Yes I have sold some - put a realistic price to start in case you only get one buyer.


    Don't always make much of a profit but if I get my money back am happy and sometimes they will make a little too.

    Thank you both. Not looking for a profit, I am just trying not to let them lie in drawers unused as it seems a waste. I am doing the 333 project challenge from the fab to frump thread and as part of that I am not keeping too many bags, shoes etc. This is also why I want to change my bags to greys and blues as they will fit in better for me with a capsule wardrobe.
