Review on Kipling Womens Sabian Crossbody Black Women's Handbags & Wallets by Erica Pratt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Practical small shoulder bag

I confess I have a lot of pockets but nothing compact and sporty when running in running shoes. I don't know the Kipling brand at all (!), but during my search I came across their bags. You are so cute! I can definitely see why they would have a trending following. I noticed that several other Revain reviews were written by Disney theme park visitors and that helped me with the purchase. (My in-laws and niece live near a Disney park, and sadly, I never carry the "right" bag.) I bought the white one, although I was hesitant because another reviewer didn't like the light gray strap, which they felt matched not to the bag. However, when the bag arrived I saw that the strap actually matched the plastic of the outer zip, as did the hanging monkey. would argue with "list price" ) but I really don't mind if the bag is well made. This bag has great stitching - no loose ends or snags - and feels as solid as a lightweight bag can be. The chrome-plated hardware looks particularly durable. Lots of subtle design details; There's even a Kipling logo on the strap buckle! (Again this is my first Kipling bag so everything is fresh and amazing to me.) The flap closes with a nice click as the clasp itself is magnetic. I love the integrated key lanyard and especially the metal hanging loop that is standard on all Kipling bags. (I've added a reflective star to the fob loop so cars can see me better, and a white Tile tracker - I've lost this bag a few times since I bought it!) The bag itself is surprisingly roomy, despite its half litres. the size. Has two zipped pockets, one inside and one just off the outside flap. The main cabin contains an iPhone Pro Max, a spare battery of the same size, chewing gum and a pack of cigarettes, a 30ml tube of hand cream, a small cardholder, several tubes of lipstick and a bottle of pills. In fact, within five minutes of receiving this package, I had spilled chicken soup on it and I'm STEPPING. Then I laughed in relief when I noticed the chicken broth dripping onto the cloth and wiped it away with my sleeve. The bag is made from a nylon "wind" material, similar to the Baggalini bag, so of course it's chicken broth proof! Conclusion: I love this practical little shoulder bag. This definitely won't be my last Kipling bag, which is really saying something as I only wear gold tones and therefore avoid silver hardware on my bags! (I'd like Kipling to make gold-plated bags too, but I don't think they'll consider my offer.)
