Kipling Defea Metallic Shoulder Bag Quartz Metallic

FINALLY! I found the perfect bag. I travel a lot and have been searching for the ideal bag with enough pockets to keep everything well organized. The four front compartments are awesome. Both of the bigger outside zipper compartments are large enough for my iPhone 6s Plus! And the Velcro flap compartment in the front is a perfect place to keep my hand sanitizer. The other two compartments in front I use for my work ID or during travel, that's where I put my headphones. The smaller one is where I put my favorite lipstick or lipgloss, and the diagonal zipper opens easily with one hand. The end compartments are a huge bonus, which I didn't even know were there until I looked closely. Even full, they don't bulge or make the bag look huge or bulky. The front one is where I put my phone charger-- Velcro keeps it safe. Inside is roomy with another zipper compartment, two pockets and a pen slot. Plenty of room for big sunglasses case, wallet, etc and an iPad fits with room to spare. The back zipper is perfect for passport and boarding passes. My house keys get clipped on the key holder and away I go! It doesn't look huge but holds a ton. It's also amazingly light even with an iPad in it and the straps are wide enough to feel comfortable. I have it in many colors and will carry these for years to come. Thank you Kipling. Fantastic quality keeps me coming back.

This is actually the fourth Kipling bag I have bought. The second of this style. (One of my other two was the same size, but only had the crossbody strap. The other was smaller so I could use it while traveling and didn’t need to carry around a lot of things.) I love that it has the short handles as well as the crossbody strap. They hold up like iron and can be washed in the machine. It has plenty of space and pockets for carrying everything you need. I do a lot of traveling and this bag has gone around the world holding everything needed while on the go. I use it as an everyday bag as well. It is nice and lightweight which is a plus when it’s full.

I love this bag! I have back and shoulder problems so I was looking for a carryon that isn't too heavy and yet holds a lot. This is it! The bag has several pockets on the outside that hold so much and get everything organized. There is a zippered pocket inside along with pockets for sunglasses and your cell phone. There is plenty of room inside for my iPad, purse, book, snacks, etc. It also has room for any breakable purchases that I may make. I don't use the shoulder strap as it is heavy and using it is hard on my shoulders. The handles fit over my shoulder nicely making the bag so easy to carry. It fits perfectly under the airline seat in front of you, eliminating the worry of getting overhead space. It is an absolutely wonderful bag - well-made, stylish, and functional!!

First let me say I am not really into fashion or brand identification. I ordered this bag for three reasons: One, reviewers had repeatedly stated that the bag was long-lasting and durable (I am really hard on purses!) Two, it had tons of pockets for organizing things; and three it comes in my favorite color, which the manufacturer calls Neon Purple. Personally, I think this color would be more aptly named "vibrant violet", because while it is a gorgeous, radiant indigo-purple color, it doesn't obnoxiously floresce like a neon pink or green from the 1980's! This is a good thing, in my opinion. Also, the bag's fabric is called "crinkle" nylon. It doesn't strike me as terribly crinkly, and I would never think to describe it as such. But it does have a slight texture that I think is attractive. I am pretty impressed with the overall quality of this bag. The stitching is heavy and flawless. The hardwear is sturdy and beautiful, too. I am not the type of person that spends this kind of money on a handbag, but I wanted something that would last me longer than two years. In most cases you get what you pay for. That being said, I am sure that it costs about one-tenth of what you pay to manufacture a bag like this. After all, it is made of nylon, which is probably quite cheap to produce, and of course the company utilizes Chinese labor...Someone is making a killing. All of that being said, it is a beautiful, functional, high quality bag. I would definitely purchase it again.

I love Kipling because they're well-made, with nice styling, and lightweight. I like the feel of them too. I don't use them when I'm out at a fancy place and all dressed up, but all other times, they work so well. This one is just the right size for going shopping, or especially for travel when I need a little bigger bag. I like the big zippers. The two outside pockets have easy access. Inside there are some organizer pockets for cellphone, pens and lip gloss. Also a zippered pocket for things that need more protection. The removable shoulder strap is wide and adjustable to make carrying it on your shoulder comfortable. If you don't want it as a shoulder bag, just remove the strap and use the shorter handles. I love Kipling and really trust them to make a great product.

this is my FAVORITE bag of all time but it traps odors like crazy lmaoo i’ve been trying everything but the nylon on the outside traps it like no OTHERRR. i may just be sensitive tho

Definitely a must have when you travel. I like it for road trips especially because when I’m in the car i dont like to be fumbling around. The small pockets are helpful. I normally take off the longer straps and use the loops for keys, sanitizer, etc. i like kipling in general because of how lightweight their bags are. For reference i also have the smaller defea bag and i like this one better. It has more pockets and the dimensions are slightly bigger. The height is the main difference. I like to be able to just drop things in my bag and go and this helps with that.

Me encantó esta bolsa, no es enorme ni es pequeña, cabe todo lo que ocupo día y a día y es muy cómoda de llevar y puedes tener tus cosas bien organizadas, pues tiene varios bolsillos para guardar cosas pequeñas para que sea fácil localizarlas dentro de la bolsa. El material es muy resistente y está muy bien elaborada la bolsa, ya que llevo medio año usando la bolsa prácticamente todos los días, incluso la he metido a la lavadora y está en perfecto estado. Además de todo el color de la bolsa está súper padre.

Gute Qualität

Sac spatieux, très léger et pratique. Je le porte à tous les jours depuis des années et je ne peux plus m'en passer parce que ça légèreté permet de transporter beaucoup de chose à l'intérieur. La confection du sac est de qualité.

This is such a beautiful bag. Have a lot of the original Kipling Defea. I can only say Kipling need to start producing this style again. The colour is gorgeous and would do for any season. I will probably save this as my best bag … far too nice to take to work. It’s a nice size to get an iPad in and plenty more, books, makeup, brolly, water bottle and plenty of pockets to put keys, purses and work passes without having to rummage at the bottom of your bag. All I can say is I love it. I would keep the strap on for a more casual look and take it off and use it as a handbag for going out. So versatile and I am sure you would get lots of compliments when you use it.
