Kipling TSV 23/11/21

[Totally Loopy Lou]

I'm not a great lover of the Kipling brand. They look pretty sturdy, and the monkeys are a bit of fun (if you like that sort of thing) and quite handy I suppose if you want a washable bag. Having said that, it's the fabrication that means that they do need washing in the first place, so that cancels that one out. Maybe it's the lightweightedness that people like.
What I dislike so much about Kipling's bags are the ridiculous prices - They are far too expensive for what they are. There are plenty of lookalikes out there, which in my experience are well made and durable but without the price tag. I personally don't care whether or not if my bag has a brand name on it, or a monkey swinging from the zip, and I doubt whether anyone else cares if my bag has these things either!

Oh man I hate those fluffy monkeys.
I’d pay not to have a monkey on a bag!

You can tell that they’re good quality bags though, and great zips etc which would be worth paying a premium for - just not double or triple!

My favourite.

Me too!
I wish I could be bothered or had the energy to make a Battenburg again, it was delicious!

As for marzipan, I can buy a block for covering a cake, open it and nibble through the whole thing worrying easily! So healthy!

My Mum used to make battenburg cake and I always got told off for peeling off the marzipan. I loved the cake bit but to this day I can`t stand marzipan.

I got told off by my grannie for only wanting the marzipan and icing off the fruit and Christmas cakes!

I had a flash of I think I like this! Just seen on air and the strap colours are not the same shade as the bag, also bigger than expected, so before I finish my cup of tea the moment is over.

I got told off by my grannie for only wanting the marzipan and icing off the fruit and Christmas cakes!

My MIL makes the Christmas cakes in our family.
My “special” instructions are for twice the normal amount of marzipan and no icing.

 

[Breeze]

I can’t stand marzipan or icing. I always cut the off my slice of Christmas cake & would make it without if I could get away with it but family would object. Prefer fruit cake with nuts & dried fruit on top like Dundee cake.
This bag is very like the Defea.

Love marzipan especially chocolate covered even though I don’t have a sweet tooth. Not overly keen on Lidl ‘s even though they are one of the few shops who always have it.
love Ritter marzipan in dark chocolate but they are very hard to find in my area or occasionally they are available in multi packs but I don’t like the other flavours.

Oh FGS - How much?! They are having a laugh - and that's the reduced price I'm talking about! As for the full price WTF? Of course we can't forget the extra fiver we have to pay for them to bung it in a plastic bag and send it to us in a week's time! I'll be watching Qurio/FB and listening out for tweets with interest and I'm sure i'll hear 1"I've got 50 kipling bags, and I've just ordered this one in every colour"!

Could be just the thing for carrying small white fluffy dogs in.Apart from my weak moment earlier I looked again and I think the quilted effect is stamped on rather than stitched? Just like my toilet rolls.

 

[amn]

That Annalise woman is on flogging this now and is going on about how you can carry it “in the crux of your arm”. I’m sorry love… in the WHAT??

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

The white stitching, especially on the bright pink, is very dodgy looking IMO. Like something in a very poor market stall where they haven’t bothered matching the thread.

I always use a Kipling bag, and I have had some good ones in the past from Q, but never again. I am currently using a rucksack, and it makes life so much easier than a shoulder bag or even cross body. My bag inevitably carries loads of bits and pieces so can get very heavy... but it's not an issue when the weight is properly distributed.
My last few purchases were from Vente Privée before they closed their UK operation.

 

[ClaireKelly]

I have just bought one of these on eBay for £20
I know it’s made for QVC but I want a bigger bag to take to hubby’s hospital appointments. Needs to be able to hold kindle, knitting, snacks and a drink and for £20 this will do nicely.
And it’s currently available at QVC for over £90 so I’m feeling smug

Only ever found a rucksack in there

Oh I’ve bought some bargains on there in the past .. maybe they’re not there is much now

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

I think it differs from store to store. You would be lucky to find a handbag that wasn’t black no matter what the brand, in our store. just a sea of black so don’t even bother looking.
