- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2024Colour Name: Blue Bleu 2Verified PurchasePerfect size if you only want to carry a few things. Easily fits a mobile phone, keys and a purse in this bag. Comfortable to wear as a hands free crossbody bag or easily shorten the strap to wear as a shoulder bag. Quality fabric, lined and a strong strap. Colour is a true black. (States I bought "blue, blue" I didn't. I bought black) The inner and outer zip compartments are handy if you want to safely store eg. single key, credit card, car park ticket. But don't over stuff the bag as it will lose its lovely shape. I bought on a 'special' at £17.99 so an amazing deal. I have other Kipling bags and though I don't think Kipling advocate washing in a washing machine I have done (short, gentle wash with a couple of towels to buffer). Air dry and they have always come out fine.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2025Colour Name: Green MossVerified PurchaseThis is the second bag of this size I bought at a price of £26 90 which I feel was just right price.
I bought the denim one first time round and love I do love the mixture of blues.
I decided to put the green one back as felt it was just slightly small for my needs and felt one of this size would be enough.
It fits a Samsung phone, small purse,car keys , with ease but feel a folded recycling shopping bag is a bit of a squeeze.
It has multiple small zip pockets all round the bag and a small holder part inside the bag for cards.
I feel this bag would be waterproof. Very hard wearing my other kipling bag had ti go in the washing machine as it sits in the footwell of the car and was getting a bit grubby comes our of the washing machine perfect!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2024Colour Name: Black NoirVerified PurchaseThis is a great cross-body bag with multiple zippable compartments, including 2 that are discrete and less visible. This bag isn't huge but it certainly big enough for the daily essentials (phone, wallet, keys, cosmetics etc.) - I can even fit a powerbank and bluetooth headphones in it so it's great for the daily commute. The bag is shower-proof rather than waterproof and I haven't yet had to test in this in a proper rain shower, but the fabric seems fairly durable and the internal pockets mean that you can put your phone in a secure and dry place. The adjustable strap means you can wear this cross-body or over one shoulder, and the trademark Kipling keyring is a fun addition.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2024Colour Name: Blue Bleu 2Verified PurchaseI bought this bag to take on holiday. It's lightweight and the perfect size for carrying basic essentials. Well made, stylish and has enough separate compartments to put wallet, phone, tissues, hand cream, glasses and dog treats!! I needed something which looked good for sight seeing, walking around shops, eating out or dog walking - this fits the bill perfectly and has a good colour choice. I bought it in navy and may purchase another one in red!!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2024Colour Name: Black NoirVerified PurchaseI am still very pleased with my purchase and have used this bag almost everyday. It's lightweight making it really comfortable to wear. The material is durable and has withstood all weathers with no signs of wear and tear yet. The style is nice and suitable for all occasions. The pockets have strong zips and fits everything in that I need on a daily basis.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2024Colour Name: Signature EmbVerified PurchaseA lit of pockets, looks waterproof but we did not tested yet, good quality, a little bit overpriced but as everything else this days.
