I love my bag. This bag is for folks who only carry bare minimum items. It drives me nuts when I read reviews of folks carrying more than what the pocketbook should carry! Without struggling, or having to do a safari hunt each time I go into my bag, I carry: a small wallet, phone, keys, lipstick, mask and I can even fit my small eReader in the bag and still manage to have more room! It’s a perfect small sized bag for a “ Minimalist!” Lastly, I’m tall. I love that the strap is long enough to accommodate my height. PS - not feeling the monkey though! He creeps me out, so I gave it to my little nephew. ?I dont like large purses. This is very cute and holds my essentials. Great little purseI love those purse! It's nice and small and just big enough to carry everything that I need. Plus it's got a really great look to it. I was easily able to turn it into a Harry Potter purse. That being said, it does have one downfall, The strap likes to continue usually adjust itself. I have it set one way and it would always seal up every time. I tried to put anything in it because it would just adjust on itself all the time. I haven't found a way to lock it where I want it, so I ended up just putting a safety pin there.Perfect size, weight and space for travelOnly the color was very different but still love it.I admit I have a lot of handbags, but nothing compact and sporty for when I'm running around in sneakers. I'm not at all familiar with the Kipling brand (!), but their bags came up in my search. They're so cute! I can definitely see why they'd have a trendy following. I noticed that several other Amazon reviews were written by Disney theme park-goers, and that cinched my purchase. (My in-laws and niece live near a Disney park and, alas, I am never carrying the "right" bag.)I bought the white one, although I was hesitant because another reviewer didn't like the pale gray strap, which they felt was mismatched to the bag. Once the bag arrived, however, I could see that the strap actually matches the plastic of the exterior zipper pull, as well as the hanging monkey charm.I realize us$25 is a steep price for a bag of such diminutive size (and I really would have struggled with the "list price"), but I really don't mind as long as the bag is well made. This bag has excellent stitching -- no loose ends or snags to be found -- and seems as sturdy as a lightweight bag could possibly be. The chrome hardware appears to be especially durable.There are a lot of subtle design details; there's even a Kipling logo on the strap's sliding buckle! (Again, this is my first Kipling bag, so everything is fresh and amazing to me.) The flap snaps shut with a satisfying clack, as the snap itself is magnetic. I like the built-in key leash, and I especially like the metal charm loop, which appears to be standard on all Kipling bags. (To the charm loop I added a reflective star, so cars might have a better chance of seeing me, plus a white Tile tracker -- I have misplaced this bag several times since buying it!!)The bag itself is surprisingly capacious despite its pint size. It has two zippered pockets, one inside and another right on the exterior flap. In the main interior I can fit an iPhone Pro Max, a spare battery of similar size, gum and a pack of cigarettes, a 30ml tube of hand cream, a small card-wallet, a few tubes of lipstick, and a pill bottle.Within five minutes of receiving this bag I actually spilled chicken soup all over it, and I SCREAMED. Then I started laughing with relief as I realized that the chicken soup was beading up on the fabric, and I wiped it away with my sleeve. The bag is made of a nylon "windbreaker" material, similar to a Baggalini bag, so of course it's chicken soup-proof!In conclusion, I love this practical little crossbody pouch. It definitely won't be my last Kipling bag -- which is really saying something, since I only wear gold tones and therefore avoid silver hardware on my bags! (I wish Kipling would make bags with gold hardware, as well, but I don't get the sense they'd consider my suggestion.)Beautiful and quality bag but a little too small, I can not put a relatively small bottle (400 ML) in this bagSuper cute bag. I love it!Bought this a few months ago and it's still in its wrapping, hopefully to be used during the coming summer (sadly we're all stuck indoors right now due to Covid-19).It's a lovely size, not too small, and the blue floral pattern is so fresh. The bag is just a perfect size to fit all your 'bits' in like a purse, mobile phone, lippy etc and is so light that it won't give you back ache!I just love the look of it and cannot wait to start finally using it soon :)Oh yes...and the price I paid was phenomenal... a shade under £20!Great little bag, small and compact but big enough for phone & purse etc, long enough strap to wear comfortably across body, light and just what I needed for holidays. Is genuine Kipling, and I got it at a bargain price. As imported, didn’t expect it until 6th apr, ordered on 19th mar, and surprised to receive today 26th mar, brilliant, happy customerIts small - wont fit a full size purse but i work as a rep. and wanted a bag literally for a phone, carkeys and small amount of cash/debit card and it fits the bill totally. i can put it across my body and forget its there. as a normal handbag buy something else but for a theme park bag, holiday day trip bag or like me if you want one to keep on you at work its brilliant.Good quality as always from Kipling, perfect size for phone, keys and a small purseThe old girl was happy with this as a Christmas present - But remarked that the quality wasn’t its (previous) standards - Thinner material.
