KiplingKipling Women's City Pack Mini Backpack, Lightweight Versatile Daypack, Bag

I consider myself a 'backpack fashionista' when it comes to purse/backpacks. I love the Kipling brand and never tried one of their backpacks. I love the smaller purse-style backpacks which have pockets on the sides for cell phone, etc. and compartments for pens, slip inside pockets, etc. This "City Pack Mini" is THE most versatile, amazing mini purse-style backpack I have ever found! I chose the "Black Noir" color as I wanted something to go with many outfits. The material is superb...not too stiff but easy to wipe off if necessary. The little monkey signature Kipling ornament is cute and the size of this bag is perfect to use as a purse. Most backpack/purses are too large and uncomfortable with a big hole inside - no compartments/pockets. As a note, my phone is a bit large for the side pocket; however, it does fit and the flap just stays open, which is not a problem as I want it to be accessible anyway should I need it. A five-star find and I will surely 'gift' more of these in the future to friends, family!!

Bought this bag because I was looking for a small backpack that still fit a good amount of stuff for travel. This bag is great because it can fit a full-sized water bottle and even a Nintendo Switch, while still being small enough to carry around daily. I love the organizational features that Kipling offers, there's two flaps on the side, a zipper pocket on the front, an organizational pocket underneath the flap, a zipper on the outside where your back is, the main compartment that zips, and an internal zipper within the main compartment for smaller, more secure items, like phones or small wallets. I love the red color of this bag too. The straps are durable and easily adjustable, the bag is quality and water resistant, and looks great. I love the vibrant red. I love that the main compartment zips and has a drawstring flap, providing more security than just standard drawstring bag. My only complaint about this bag is that I wish Kipling would bring back the fuzzy monkeys that come with each bag instead of the rubber ones they offer now. Overall, great quality bag, great size, fits a great amount of stuff, but it still lightweight and stylish.

Just got my bag today and it came 5 days before expected delivery date. I’m really liking the bag so far. It’s smaller than what I’m used to but it has so many pockets that fit just what I need. The material is thick and of quality. It’s just so casual but stylish. I like that the straps are sort of wide. I will be looking more into the Kipling brand.

Got this for my neighbor for Christmas. Nice color, durable, it's on a smaller size but you still can fit quite a few items. She loved it.

I use this instead of a purse, and on a recent trip abroad, I often used this as my daypack. The side pockets are too small for most reusable water bottles but I was able to fit a 600-ml bottle in the bag along with with a guidebook and the usual essentials. It's not waterproof but did repel water pretty well, and the various compartments are handy and well-designed. I like the black-on-black pattern and muted hardware. Very happy with my first-ever Kipling bag.

Compact, decent "backpack" for my work days. The straps aren't great, but it's a cheap pack. Lots of compartments, but anything in the outside, open pocket will fall out.

I use this as my purse. This is such a bad ass purse bag, I’m not sure if I can ever use a purse again. Perfect amount of pockets and sizes and each is easily accessible. If you drop it, your belongings aren’t spewing out onto the floor. I’m in my late 40’s and I even like the little matching monkey 🥰

I absolutely love this bag!! Perfect size for everyday use. Tons of storage and light as a feather. Straps are comfortable and feels comfortable on my back. Magnets are super strong too. Just get it. You won't be sorry!!
