I love leather bags but sometimes a large one with pockets seems ok until I get all my stuff in it, and then, whoa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806793 Tue, 09 May 2017 08:23:23 +0000 Mel 1806793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The great thing about Kipling type bags is that they are LIGHTWEIGHT. As a small person, heavy bags hurt my shoulders, so I use my lightweight nylon and canvas bags for everyday use, and heavier, leather bags for special events.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806792 Tue, 09 May 2017 08:19:42 +0000 Mel 1806792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tote you've selected is lovely.</p> <p>I have a Kipling bag that is fantastic for travel and outdoor activities. Easy to wash and take care of. But's it's not very professional looking, so I have a leather bag for more formal events.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806737 Tue, 09 May 2017 04:44:23 +0000 Jeanie 1806737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had had one that is an overnight size tote. The fabric is lightweight and durable and I love all the zippered pockets. &nbsp; I would love to have more of these bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806734 Tue, 09 May 2017 04:36:47 +0000 Eliza 1806734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter loved Kipling backpacks years ago. They were extremely durable, despite heavy daily use. I may have even been able to wash them in nylon bags on gentle and air dry; but double check my memory on that if you get one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806723 Tue, 09 May 2017 03:57:29 +0000 unfrumped 1806723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, several Kipling users- thank you for commenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806718 Tue, 09 May 2017 03:41:10 +0000 SuzyQ2 1806718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been carrying a black Kipling bag for the last three years. They are light but indestructible. I cannot carry a heavy bag and I prefer a shoulder strap that's expandable. I just ordered the Kipling Walfred hobo in platinum also for plane travel and just because I'm tired of black.<br /> I have so many leather bags wasting away, I only carry them occasionally for shorter duration outings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806650 Tue, 09 May 2017 01:26:52 +0000 Susie 1806650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, Kipling material is extremely durable. And lightweight, so good for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806646 Tue, 09 May 2017 01:15:13 +0000 Elle 1806646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've found the Kipling brand to be fairly sturdy. The bag looks like it would work well as an airplane carryon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806569 Mon, 08 May 2017 23:24:25 +0000 unfrumped 1806569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. I'm not much of a structured bag person- the sort of zippered or clasp satchel. . I love my soft leather shoulder strap " shoppers" and just about always carry a bag on shoulder and not in hand, though I kind to change off sometimes. So I don't have any handbags that work well for air travel, for example, though I can make do with a regular purse for car trips to visit family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806566 Mon, 08 May 2017 23:18:17 +0000 Angie 1806566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I travel a LOT and don't have a specific travel bag. I simply carry a larger dressy tote.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kipling-totetravel-bag#post-1806552 Mon, 08 May 2017 22:45:48 +0000 unfrumped 1806552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed Liz A's post on such bags because I have been thinking about getting a new tote or similar bag - I have different " occasions/ roles that can allow for a " tote capsule" but current interest is for travel, to be the " under the seat" bag in addition to the carryon suitcase, and great if can work as my " car bag" for car trips , and wondering if could be the " city bag" when I'm traveling and have time to get out &amp; about but may want a largish bag in which to stuff sweater or rain jacket, papers, small purchases, snacks etc.<br /> ive debated pockets, more vs less, but know I woukd like to start keeping the bag organized so I remember what's where without re- inventing each time. So m, scarf pocket, snacks pocket, maps etc might be helpful. I also still take real papers and reading materials in addition to e- reader, so need a bag that has a way to handle a folder or gusset, magazines neatly. </p> <p>Not really looking that hard yet but I just happened across a Kipling laptop tote in TJMaxx , similar to the Find but in a very appealing pewter metallic fabric- a nice sheen but not screamin' shiny. I confess I'm quite taken with the material!<br /> Now, I don't typically carry a laptop at present, so again, had not targeted " laptop tote", but the laptop compartment is not very thick/ heavy, so to me it could function, with its sleeve and Velcro strap, as a book/ folder area. And I may be taking a small notebook/ tablet computer on some trips.<br /> The outside long pocket is big enough for magazine or folder also.<br /> This bag would be bigger than I need for some times, and it's " taller" than wide- not something I had looked for but may actually work for me because I find typical large rectangular totes overwhelming, as they stick so far out and bang into people, but the kinda longer aspect works with my long- waist and it's lightweight. I could see it working well in the airport / plane and still using it as my city- tourist tote. I have several types of small shoulder strap bags( like cross -body but not so long) I can chose from to pack for specific events.<br /> I also want to use it for out of town professional conferences. Again, it's bigger and it's not a " status" bag, but I don't need to worry about that. I also think at such conferences you see more practical bags since many folks are in travel mode. At such conferences one might get some time to go walkabout and want to just head out, but be prepared by having extra outerwear, drink bottles , etc</p> <p>Any experience with this brand? I'm pretty sure I'm keeping even if I end up learning more about what I REALLY need from the experience! But would love to hear comments. </p>
