I had never heard about this brand until my girlfriend brought it up and have now ordered her the Soul Large backpack with the custom monogram stitches designs as our one year anniversary gift. She's always wanted one so nows the time. Excellent video showing the practicality of the brand and your collection
This is the best video I found about kipling backpacks and bags. I was in doubt about which brand to buy for travelling: kanken or kipling. I also weighed the pros and cons of each and came to the conclusion that kipling is the best value for money. Congratulations on the great video. :) kisses from Brazil.
I’m so glad you found it helpful. I weighed my options as well…although I love the Kanken design (and backstory) and would totally love to get one someday, but since I needed a larger backpack for my upcoming trip - Kipling's design won out. If Kanken’s laptop compartment in the 15” backpack has been wider- so that objects other than laptops could fit, I would have considered it since I don’t take a laptop when traveling. Hope you find exactly what you are looking for! And thanks for the nice comment! Would love to visit sunny Brazil☀️
My kindred spirit! I am also a bag lady and I love Kipling! They are the best bags. I have a closet full. I love the material and I love the zippers and the styles. Even the smallest bag can pack a lot! I totally agree with another commenter who says she’s she’s addicted. I am too!
Yay! We think alike💛. These bags are so functional as well as good design. Their zippers don’t snag and the fabric is dirt resistant. I do wish I had some more small bags to organize my art supplies in. I’ll be keeping my eye out for them!
@@PocketDreamsCo I watch eBay, Amazon, Target and Walmart online bc they will randomly put them on sale, especially around holidays. Yes, I’m that bad. Lol.
I’ve been a massive Kipling fan but finally had to stop collecting 😅 anyway, I love the warm sunflower yellow of your new backpack (at least it looks like a warm marigold on camera) 😊
I won’t allow myself to walk past the Kipling bags at the store anymore lest I’m tempted to buy another.🤣 And yes, my larger Kipling is marigold- I love that description!
Hi I luv Kipling bags I use the rewater proofing for coats that you wash and rewater proofer that goes in washer usually nik nak or grangers both really good two separate products for nik nak but grangers do all in one product. Works great every time x
I put the neck pillow, microfibre throw and eyemask in a bag and hung it using a carabiner clip. It is water-resistant but not waterproof. The newer one is not as good as old ones (10 yearS) but still good compared to other travel backpacks. I carry laptop, iPad but not camera.
I LOVE your idea of using a carabiner clip! Anything that allows for packing more in - especially on the return trip when I have bought just about every snack available to bring home, I need the expansion option. Thanks for sharing!
I love Kipling, I have two Kipling purses. I have Baggallini purses and a backpack as well, they are similar to Kipling. But when I travel I have an OLD Jansport I always use. This backpack must be 20 years old and I’d be surprised if it cost more than $30 new, it’s been washed many, many times. When packing for a trip I’ve tried many times to use one of our newer nicer bags but I always end up in the Jansport. It’s just the right size for my body, it has the right number of pockets and pouches for my travel essentials. Having a backpack you love with a packing system for what goes where makes packing faster and easier. Maybe someday I’ll move on to something newer and more stylish but for our trip in Dec. I’m using my Jansport. P.S. I’m a bag lady too.
I had a Jansport all through college and even used it for a diaper bag when going out all day, but my husband took it over and I haven’t seen it since 😂. They have lots of pockets too! Good bags really do enhance a trip in the way that without them a ‘bad bag’ ruins a trip because you can’t carry everything or the straps hurt! Baggallini bags are also nice.💛
Hi, do both of them have a holder for the keys, like a keyband? Normally it's in the large front pocket. The older ones actually still have them, however, it seems that with all the new kipling bags they stopped adding them to the bags. Thanks
I love Kipling backpacks. I use them as purses. The quality is superb. My kids had LL Bean backpacks. The only issue I had with your video was the constant scratching noise coming from the hardware of your bags against your table top. So irritating. Otherwise good video.
I’m a HUGE Kipling fan too and as a mum to a toddler I’ve been using city backpack medium. I’ve been eyeing the Seouls, 15” L and S and torn! Unfortunately there are no physical shops where I live… wish I could see before buying… Any chance you’d upload yourself wearing each on for sizing?
Ooh, what a tough question. Right now I’m on a trip to Japan and have both my larger Seoul yellow ochre backpack and my small light aqua bag with me. If I had to chose, it would probably be my yellow ochre backpack because it holds so much, but honestly I’d buy 2 more of the smaller aqua bags in other colors if I could find them. They can be used as a makeup/toiletries travel bag, a small camera gear bag, an artist Sketchbooking/journaling bag, as well as a purse. The compartments are the best. What would you pick? Do you have a fav Kipling bag?
Would the Seoul small with these dimensions 15.9D x 25.4W x 34.9H centimeters fit a Stanley cup or maybe some shcoool books and. A laptop pls reply also do u recommend getting the signature emb or shimmerin spot for a 14 year old please help
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier! For schoolbooks I would say that my large Seoul backpack is large enough to fit about 2-3 normal sized textbooks (not the huge thick kind but the 2 cm thick kind) plus a few folders, but if I would need to carry 3 ring binders then I would switch to a larger volume backpack like an LL Bean. I hope this helps! The Seoul backpack is really well made, though and works for a homework day of a few subjects- not for 7 textbooks 🤣.
Hello! What kind of bag is the small first orange one because I think you said it’s the small Seoul backpack but I looked for it on the website and it seems to be different from the one you have?!
Hi! Yes, I called it by the wrong name 🤣...it's so hard to find the correct names for these bags. Another viewer said it's a Challenger. My large backpack is a Seoul. Hope this helps!
That’s a good question! I hope someone knows! I know they state they can carry a 15” laptop, but since I don’t have a laptop- just an iPad, I’m not sure how snug the fit would be near the top zipper. The backpack does seem nice and wide so I think the edges would be fine, but some laptops are thick and others are thin.
I’ve loved my neon pink jansport backpack but as a college student I feel like I’m outgrowing the vibrant color. Gonna replace it with one of these. Thanks for showing us your old yellow one, it’s in great shape and gives us an idea of what ours will look like down the line
I had a Jansport in college as well, only mine was burgundy (used to be fashionable😂). I think my husband took it downstairs into his basement lair and put some tools in it! You will love your Kipling bag - they really last well!
Hi! I happened to stumble across your video and I really enjoyed it! I'm not sure if this is intentional, but around 44 secs when you do the unboxing, your full name and address are on display. Just thought I'd let you know as it's quite dangerous to have such personal details floating around the internet!!
The smaller yellow ochre backpack is a Challenger and I still am not sure what the light aqua bag is called. Maybe someone else knows the correct name.
I think it’s a Challenger II…I bought it some years ago so I’m not sure if they still go by this name. They are still around because I bought my teal one this year.
I just realized you may be asking about the smaller light aqua colored purse bag (I also call my yellow ochre bag my favorite purse backpack). I'm not sure about the name - I found it at Marshalls - it is on Amazon under the name "Kipling Women's Silen Shoulder" bag in the same color as mine- Serene green. But- Kipling's website doesn't show it under this name. I LOVE it and want another one for my cosmetics bag and another for my travel art supplies! Sigh.
It’s the Super Deluxe 40 liter backpack. My younger son now wants this size to hold everything in his locker when he has tons of homework and has to take all his books and binders home. The size below also holds a Lot!
I have loved Kipling bags for over 25 years and there is only one problem with them, they are addicting!
No kidding! I saw two today that I picked up and had to put back down- in pale pink and the other was jean blue.
I get you, seriously it's a problem!@@PocketDreamsCo

This is so exciting and I think your girlfriend will love the special touch of you adding a monogram. That’s so sweet! 🩵

I liked the review. Also you seem like such a warm, friendly person❤

It is! The other side has a computer desk for my son… we share jokes and cool things since we share the space😂. Do you have a space set up?

Hey! We were in Japan recently and I used my navy Europa messenger bag and my son carried a small Seoul backpack 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They are perfect for trips, aren’t they?! Where in Japan did you go?
Great video, very helpful! Thank you
Glad you liked it!😀

Aren’t they great bags?! And I agree with you- the pinging on the table was loud. I haven’t yet refined my audio skills😂.

That’s a great idea! I’m headed out for another trip and can’t get to this but I’ll keep it in mind for the future!
The smaller yellow backpack it’s not a small Seoul, it’s a challenger. The big new one it’s a Seoul
Thanks you! Yes, I figured out the name later. It’s a little tricky to find the names of older bags.
If you had to keep one of those two, which would it be?
Ooh, what a tough question. Right now I’m on a trip to Japan and have both my larger Seoul yellow ochre backpack and my small light aqua bag with me.

Thats a queenie not a citypack :) Theyre quite similar. I cant decide btwn a small citypack & a small seoul…
Oh thanks! It’s hard to decide which to get because they are all so good. Have fun deciding!
Hey I have a question for u would a Seoul small WHICU is 35 cm height work for school
Thank you
💛
Would the Seoul small with these dimensions 15.9D x 25.4W x 34.9H centimeters fit a Stanley cup or maybe some shcoool books and. A laptop pls reply also do u recommend getting the signature emb or shimmerin spot for a 14 year old please help

@@PocketDreamsCo okay! thank you!
Could one of the Kipling experts please tell me whether a 15.6 inch laptop will fit into Kipling Seoul Large?
That’s a good question! I hope someone knows! I know they state they can carry a 15” laptop, but since I don’t have a laptop- just an iPad, I’m not sure how snug the fit would be near the top zipper.

Hello, I liked your video, what is the name of your favorite bag?
The smaller yellow ochre backpack is a Challenger and I still am not sure what the light aqua bag is called. Maybe someone else knows the correct name.
What is your fav kipling bag called…the purse style one?
I think it’s a Challenger II…I bought it some years ago so I’m not sure if they still go by this name. They are still around because I bought my teal one this year.
