kipling bags - educate me please!

[nockosh]

my IL's have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and brought me back a kipling bag which I have never heard of. Their friends from the UK that were travelling with them said that they are all the rage and are super popular right now. Are they? Why, what's so great about them?

the bag that I got given to me is quite nice with loads of pockets to lose stuff in, but I don't see why people would go crazy over them. I kind of think the monkey that hangs off it is cooler than the bag.

So am I super cool now? or am I not the only one that has never heard of them?

kaye, you're not alone! i've never heard of them either. but a monkey sounds fun

OK, Kaye - that's too funny. My DH just brought one back for me on his last trip to London. He said the same thing - they're all the rage there. LOL This is one he brought me...it's pretty enough but I'm not sure what all the fuss is about either.

I am really out of it - I never heard of them either.

 

[valeriapiemonte]

So Valeria, what makes them such great bags? Please fill us in... we obviously are clueless!!

I have never heard of them either, but I am all about purses, so please do share!

 

[Jasmin]

Never ever heard about them, but they look fab!

 

[nockosh]

haha Laura that is funny! Did yours come with a monkey as it doesn't look like a bag that would suit the monkey?

Mine is similar to this one but in black

oh, I love them!! They last like forever. Mine is almost 10 years old and looks like new! If it gets dirty, all you have to do is throw it in the washing machine and it will be as good as new!! Plus, they´re so cool. There are so many colours and shapes.
my bag is similar to this one

Kaye, yes, mine has a monkey too, but it's metal...you can see it in the pic on the left side of the bag!

Valeria, thanks for filling us in on the details.
