KiplingKipling ART Medium Tote, Totes

I'm a big fan of Kipling bags, I have way too many, lol, and as always, this one is a fabulous quality bag from kipling.It's lightweight, so can be easily folded when not in use.A great colour, and has a fluffy monkey, although I like all the monkeys on the kipling bags.The carry handles and strap give this bag versatility and has a zipped inside pocket, which is quite deep, an open ended phone, wallet and pen pocket.Outside of the bag has another zipped pocket and just above that, another pocket. I've been carting round extra bags for my stuff and wanted just one bag to do the job that's stylish.It's really roomy, I can get in this bag, my handbag, which is a Kipling Medium Gabbie, a 75L water bottle, a lab coat and a lunch bag.To be fair, I can't do the zip up with my lunch bag in, (without the lunch bag, I can, no problem) but it saves me carting round extra bags.I'll admit, they are a tad more expensive than other bags, but they last for ages, are versatile, stylish, robust, washable and tend to be waterproof, recently, I got caught in a torrential downpour with my Gabbie bag and everything inside was bone dry, so well worth the cost.I'm going to get the larger ART M for trips away.Thank you Kipling. 😊

Kipling make exceedingly good bags! (If you know, you know!) The Art M is no exception. From the colour to the size, there is nothing not to love about this bag. It's well made, I love the deep, sapphire blue colour, it's got so much room inside that I've had to add a bag organiser to avoid losing things, and it's got a proper fluffy monkey! Definitely worth a 12/10 review!!!

Great quality bag. Not too big. I would probably use it for an overnight or possibly a weekend. It might be a handy flight bag too. It's just what l have been looking for.

I really love this bag. I use it all the time for work as well. Love the fact also that it comes with a furry gorilla. I'm not much a fan of the hard ones unless they are silver. Also, loads of space and loads of pockets. Love the adjustability - love that it can turn into a smaller handbag if needed. Also in its full size, it keeps its rectangular shape very well thanks to the two side zips and buttons. Functional and smart.

Follow on comment, I have found a Kipling, "Natalie" bag (in T K Maxx of all places) which has all the aspects which she saught and an ideal replacement to a previous bag, including the sewn in separator in the main compartment. Cleverly, this can be pushed aside to permit use of the complete bag volume, as required.For my wife, the "Natalie" is a bag beater and ideal for her use========================Good to see that the fluffy gorilla has replaced a hard plastic figure previously used.Also good, is that there is now an attached key ring on a long length of fabric.Why did it go back? Primarily due to the main body of the bag being one complete space. My wife is looking for an internal partition sewn closed at the bottom. That way, she could store different things and avoid a general pile-up of everything she jumps around! She was unsure about the oversailing end zips. She appreciates the security aspects of these (when closed, access to the main compartment by a would-be thief would be difficult) but thinke she would ge unlikely to use them.Value for money? Certainly! Her previous Kipling bag was used daily for what? 8 years, or more

Lots of room inside and very light to carry.

I love Kipling as it’s so durable and it looks nice and easy to matchPerfect for day trips or as a carryon bag

I bought this bag to use as an overnight bag and it's just perfect. I'll be able to pack my nightwear, toiletries and a change of clothes in there and still have room to spare. I am a great Kipling lover; having bought several bags over the years of which there have been many
