Kipling Adara Medium

This is my 5th Kipling bag. I like the color, construction and durability of these bags. This is a very large bag for a medium. So, it is helpful that the inside is lined with a light colored fabric so you can always find what you are looking for. There are lots of inside pockets and places to put your cell phone, pens and other miscellaneous but important things you don't want to lose track of in the bag itself. The bag is very large and holds the usual-wallet, checkbook and small cosmetic case. In addition, often when I'm shopping, I use my Kipling bag to take my purchases; it really is that large. The bag comes with a nice long shoulder strap that you can wear across the shoulders, but I tuck it in the bag and just use the handles, which fit over my shoulders. The shoulder strap is not set-up to be removable.

I bought this bag from a supplier that works with Amazon.com. The shipping was excellent (I received it within a week) and so was the price.

I had been looking for a bag that was big enough for gym clothes and not entirely unattractive. I own another Kipling as an overnight bag therefore I was certain the quality would be good and that the bag would be durable.

I got the bag in a reasonable amount of time and when I got it I could not help but notice that the bag looked noticibly smaller than the dimensions listed. I checked and I do not believe this to be the sellers fault because the bag is listed with the same dimensions on the Kipling website. However for future buyers the dimensions listed are measured across the widest part of the bag which is the top. In my experience most bags are measured across the bottom, no matter which is the widest part. I believe it is listed as 20 inches wide, but it is actually more like 15 inches wide measured across the bottom (without laying it completely flat which is the only possible way they could have gotten the listed width of 20 inches).

I decided to keep the bag because even though it is smaller than I thought it would be, it does fit everything I needed to get into it without being cumbersome. It also is small enough to carry everyday, with no gym clothes, without looking bulky. I am very happy with my purchase and if the dimensions had been as advertised I would have given it 5 stars. Also I love the little monkey, it adds a bit of whimsy to my day.

I have loved Kipling bags, the Europa being my favorite..but I needed something bigger so I asked my personal santa to get me this kipling adara. My other Kipling bags were tagged made in china and the quality is outstanding..the Adara that I received just recently is tagged made in thailand and there is a big difference in the quality. The crossbody strap has marks that looked like it was squished between something heavy and dirty, both the crossbody and shoulder strap rubs painfully on my skin because the ends of the stitches were burned making it hard and sharp, the metal hardware and the monkey chain has scratch marks that looked like its been rubbing on each other (like when you take it off and put it back on a lot of times..), the key ring inside the bag gets stuck, and a portion of the lining inside w/c did not meet and is not sewn together. The poor quality of this one was really unexpected and I am really disappointed.

This Kipling tote is actually really big. Textbooks and notebooks can go in there. I like that the two straps are long enough to carry the bag on the shoulder.

Roomy, lightweight. You can fill them to bursting point (and I do!).

The only problem is I can't get them very easily in the UK, so it's brilliant finding them in the US!

Gotta go....want to see the next colour I fancy!!!!
