👜 Kipling Eleva Roomy Handbag Review

The bag is solid BUT the straps are very disappointing The hook is plastic. this will eventually fall apart. What's up with Cute Plump Monkey?! New hairless look!

This bag is just perfect and so beautiful! I think it's the perfect size for me, it's not heavy and the color + some glitter is so pretty. I also love dusty rose straps. Kipling never disappoints! The quality is always top notch! Also, I won an AMAZING PRIZE!

I give this bag 5 stars even though I sent it back. As usual with Kipling, the bag itself is well made. The sizing just felt and looked long to me at 5 inches. The Twisted Gray color was exactly what I wanted (soft grey) and I'm hoping to find another Kipling bag in the same colour.

Lightweight shoulder bag with plenty of space for your essentials. The bag also has two zipped pockets on the outside and pockets for cell phones and pens on the inside. Adjustable strap. I needed a lightweight bag to relieve my shoulder and back pain from my large leather bag. The material is strong.

Everything else about the totes was fantastic, even the styling. But I didn't like how narrow the opening was, annoying at times when trying to look for something in the store. So unfortunately I had to go back and just buy an Elysia Kipling bag instead, which with all the side pockets was a plus.

Nice and spacious. I only have a few complaints. First, the metal I ordered smells awful. Has a toxic smell. I air it out to see if the smell goes away. Otherwise I'll send it back. Another point of criticism is that the inside pockets are too far down. I wish they were further up the bag. Otherwise great bag.

I LOVE Kipling bags and this one is no exception. The color is great and I love the unique pattern. I use it for work and the 13 inch laptop goes well with a wallet (Kipling Teddy :) ), cosmetics, a book and a few other things. I like that it's the right size - big enough but not huge like a tote bag. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the opening is narrow (it's narrower than the bottom making the shape a bit trapezoidal) which makes it harder to get things out of the bag.

Essentially a zipped pouch with top handles and an attachable shoulder strap. The bag is taller and thinner than most of my wallets, but big enough to carry my essentials, iPad and pencil in one case, which my shorter, thicker bags can't handle. The main complaint is that the zipper tends to get caught on a small metal bar that prevents the zipper from fully opening. Not sure why this was added - I have several zipped Kipling bags without this feature and they seem to work just fine without it.
