Kipling bags and purses offers (genuine items only please)

Going back to our quality issue - noticed someone has replied to my post on Kipling on the Move :

ME 15th April - Have heard from others online that some Fairfax bags bought off Amazon (not from other sellers) are now made in Bangladesh and have poor quality stitching and seaming. Bags I have had are made in China. Is this a new factory with poor quality control perhaps?

I hope they do take note, I love kipling but not if the quality drops.

I like the animal print and the blue trolley suitcases.

That's good - maybe I'll post there as well - is that facebook?

I got distracted with other things after I emailed them about the poor stitching, but really do need to get back to them. When they replied to me they basically just offered a repair or replacement but didn't acknowledge the damage to the brand.

No its a website/blog by Marie Franscoise - or on her behalf anyway.

Not sure about bargains but there is Kipling for an hour on QVC at both 10am today and 11pm.

Not sure if I dare watch - I'm too easily tempted by easy-pay

No bargains really that I liked - and more expensive than Amazon. But she is also back at 1 & 3 pm as well so its nice to watch.

Yes, it's nice to get a proper look at the bags, which you can't really do from the photos on Amazon. Nothing jumped out at me either - but I quite liked the Hanasa and the Cyndi, but no colours I really wanted. Can't find either of these on Amazon - do you think they're QVC exclusive?

(Should say, I paused it while sorting out the washing so watched most of it on fast forward so I didn't hear if they said they were only available on QVc or not)

TK Maxx have a few new things on here - travel wallets and pouches in addition to the suitcases
