I absolutely love Kipling bags and this was no exception. Very well made. Love the inside lining with the words - super fun and cute. The outside is a denim color and looks like jeans but is made of the same nylon material. Super easy to keep clean and still lightweight. I love the functionality of this one - 2 outside zip pockets, 2 outside slip pockets, 1 outside long zippered pocket on the back - fits my Note 9. Inside has so much organization as well - 2 slip pockets, pen pocket, 1 zippered pocket and a key leash. Sometimes with Kipling bags the zipper closure zips the opposite direction away from you. This one zips toward you - which is great for security reasons. The only 1 negative I have is the photo makes it look like there strap is attached on both sides by a square ring but the strap is sewn into the bag one one side. But other than that, love it. It arrived super fast!!! Great purchase.A gift for my mom, and she loved it.Love the functionality and appearance. Exactly what I wanted.As a fan of Kipling I like all my bags but this is my first Izela bag. I love it plenty of room can even get my kindle in, phone 2 fold-up bags i-pod, make-up bag and lots more, have even bought one more since.I've had a few Kipling bags and this is another lovely one. It's a good size, not too big but can comfortably fit a purse, phone and keys as well as a few other things. There are a few zip pockets ... two at the front, one on the back and one on the inside.The monkey keychain that usually comes with it is a bit more of a sleek metal monkey rather than the more toy like one you used to get.The shoulder strap is adjustable to a decent length in my opinion.My only issue was with how Amazon sent this out to me. It arrived left on my doorstep in a clear plastic bag. Luckily I was in so was able to retrieve it ... one of the delivery drivers in our area must have been in a rush and didn't wait for me to answer the door.I have about 10 Kipling bags, all used at various parts of the season. This bag captivated me as it was similar to the first Kipling bag I bought many years ago and cannot replicate. I like the size, just right for me to use every day, It has all the useful pockets that Kipling are known for. I love the colour (light grey) which is a beautiful calm and peaceful shade for summer months and will go with any colour coat or jacket. As always, a perfect bag which will last a lifetime. Kipling bags are waterproof which is indeed a very good thing in the UK climate. I have no fear of the contents of my bag getting damp or wet. A great Kipling bag which is both classy and practical.I’ve bought Kipling bags for over 20 years and my only issue is I love them all. This one is a particularly good size as it’s roomy but not so big that it’s heavy when you fill it. This colour/finish is very smart too.Nice bag from Kipling without the horrible fluffy monkey. This is one of Kiplings premium bags. No way I'd pay full price but Amazon had it reduced - thank you. It will be great for holidays as nice and lightweight and not too bulky. Looks good too in the premium material.
