Alenya Crossbody Bag by Kipling Review

Perfect size bag for me. I have a lot of stuff and need a bag with multiple pockets so I can get organized. It's big enough for my umbrella. As with all Kipling bags, it comes with a monkey.

This is my second bag in this style. I love the shoulder/cross strap which is easily adjustable on the fly. Light but withstands a lot. Love the outside pockets on either end for keys and phone. Already had royal blue and was now black. Highly recommended!

This bag is good - especially for traveling. External end pockets are perfect for carrying a water bottle. The size of the bag is perfect - not too big and not too small. The only feature the bag lacks is a zip pocket on the back of the wallet.

This bag has a very flimsy structure and having not read the organization details I am missing the pocket feature on the back. When the bag contains everyday items, it stands up a bit and the multicolored design is very chic. I'm leaving this because I think it will be strong, but my favorite style for structure is "Bailey". I have three Baileys.

Bag not up to Kipling standard, possibly counterfeit, thin material, slightly faded colour, no Kipling signature monkey. It's ok to use, just poor, sticky quality. Because of all the hassles and costs of importing from the US to Europe, it's not worth sending back. The bag fits but the low quality is disappointing given the brand and price.

The color in the product photo does not match this beautiful bag at all - it is not a dark pink but a beautiful deep purple plum (which is logical considering the name of the product color) . I love it. I took a risk with the color because I liked what I saw in the photo, but this is MUCH better. This is my favorite color. And I like the bag. It's big enough for travel (Mayan temple excursions as usual) without being too wide or bulky and holds 2 water bottles which is a must for me! Thank you!

My new favorite design from Kipling. Great everyday bag. I really like the front and rear pickets. Can be easily placed in a water bottle or small hydro flask. You can also fold your reusable shopping bag which you now need for your own shopping in stores that no longer provide you with plastic bag. Not too big and not too small. I have about twenty Kipling bags and pouches of various sizes. So well done but simple.

I just LOVE this bag! This is exactly what I wanted in an everyday shoulder bag. I have back problems and need to carry shoulder bags to distribute the weight more evenly across my upper back, shoulders and neck. I have a small pink Kipling bag and I love it, but it's not a shoulder bag. So I got these. Kipling bags are very well designed. I like that it's light. It's spacious but not huge. I can put my regular stuff in it, but also add other things like small groceries, snacks, sunglasses…
