Kipling TSV 14/8/24

[donna255]

A friend keeps telling me I should get one, she loves them. I keep thinking you have to take it on and off going into shops to pay, getting on the bus getting it off your shoulders wearing a winter coat. I'll stick with the cross body bags last Kipling were big proper big, not the medium ones QVC call big. Bought it in TKMaxx less and half price under £40.

As I've said on this forum before, I have a tried and tested Kipling Gabbie which goes everywhere, takes everything, with not too many compartments so I know exactly where everything is. I've kept one or two other Kipling bags in different colours for "in case" but I really should get rid now. The "in case" is always hanging over me and I just need more will-power. I bought my Gabbie many years ago at a special offer on amazon for around £30, and the rest have been ebay buys. Some hold their price but more often than not you can pick up one for a song on ebay so not everyone is making a killing, though I've been lucky once or twice and sold a couple for more than I paid for them while even more just haven't sold and have gone to charity shops, and one now used as a peg bag, which it does brilliantly.

I wouldn't buy any more at the prices they charge and I agree, there are some excellent £10 bags very similar out there, though I do like a key fob and Kipling does that brilliantly.

Yes I do the same, or put them in a zipped pocket inside the main zipped compartment.

Never had any problems. In the main compartment of my backpack is nappies and baby wipes, so any thief would be sorely disappointed

Used ones I hope?!

its so nice aint it?

Watched the launch well part of it. The model holding it over one shoulder, so might as well just use a shoulder bag.

I've resisted...so far. I'm hoping it will sell out so I can't be persuaded.
I do like it, but I've a plain black one similar so don't need it.
And I think the price is a bit steep. At the £40 mark I'd probably have caved too.

That’s why I would never buy a back pack that doesn’t have a zipped pocket that sits against my back. Anything valuable goes in there.

When I'm out on holiday,the only time I use a backpack, I have mine on my front.

I have a couple of Kipling backpacks I bought from a Kipling outlet store many years ago. I still use for weekends away or visiting friends. This TSV looks more like a shopping bag with back straps on and it doesn’t look very secure. I think I must be in the minority as some of the colours have already sold out.

I’ve ordered the black leopard as I will just use it for travelling

I think it’s awful!
I also have a very old Kipling backpack that has been across the country and round Europe with me. Very spacious, pockets in the right place expanding sides and really good quality.
I totally agree that the TSV looks like a shopping bag with straps. Kipling seem to have lost the plot with a lot of these newer designs.

You are so right, I have a City backpack, it’s got lots of pockets, plus the two zips can be secured by a padlock. This bag, whilst pretty, is not functional enough t for me, I too have resisted.

 

[lynnonthelake]

I’m not really bothered if I don’t like it ,I’ll just give it to my daughter who’s just had a baby and now needs to bring a hundred bags when she visits.

I wish people would remember that they are wearing a large backpack, I've lost count of the number of times someone has turned around and knocked me flying.

But that's part of the fun of it!

Only joking
