In 1993 KAVU, Klear Above Visibility Unlimited, was launched with a single product and a strong philosophy - live life to its fullest every day. An entrepreneurial spirit and this philosophy have provided direction for the company since its inception.
Out on the rough windy waters of the Bering Sea over 13 years ago, KAVU’s Strap Cap was developed. It was a hat that would protect ones head, keep the sun off the face, and stay on in the most powerful winds. The original Strap Cap- a canvas cap secured by a band of 5000 pound strength webbing allowing for on-head adjustment. Now a signature KAVU piece, the Strap Cap stays on in almost any outdoor condition from Everest to the Zambezi river.
Today and everyday, KAVU creates men and women's outdoor clothing using a variety of durable, rugged and comfortable fabrics in designs that take people through all the adventures of daily life. KAVU also has an extensive accessory line, including hats, bags, and sunglasses. The company staff and Team KAVU product testers enjoy the pursuit of the outdoors in their own backyard and around the world.
The enthusiasm in the quest for the perfect day still thrives at KAVU, or a KAVU day still drives the company to innovate and inspire outdoor fun through their line.

Love this dress!
I have to disagree with the previous review. After reading it, I was a bit reluctant to order my regular size S, but did so since the color I wanted wasn't available in an M and I really, really wanted it! It arrived before I expected it (of course - it's Zappos!!) and is a perfect fit and is so comfortable and cute! I highly recommend it as a great all around summer dress.

All-in-one -
Could be a little bigger, but this very convenient. Adjustable strap is good - have worn it both ways and doesn't slip. Cell phone pocket is handy, zippered pockets keep things where they're supposed to be. Took it to Disney World - everything stayed dry and didn't have to worry about losing "stuff". Only complaint is getting dirty near the zipper pulls, but after all, I DID get the one with a white background...

Stiff Skirt -
I bought this skirt because the other reviews were really good; however, the skirt was stif and itchy. Maybe would be better as a fall or winter skirt. I also bought a size 4 because another review stated that the skirt runs big. I believe I am a size 6, so I would agree that the skirt runs large.

Cute bag. I am using it as a diaper bag for my 17 month old. I wanted something small, easy to carry and that didn't really look like a diaper bag. This is perfect! I only wish there had been more styles to choose from.

Nice Skirt - Runs Big -
Good-looking skirt. Can be casual or a little dressy. I usually wear a 10 or 12. I ordered a 12 based on the size chart on the Kavu website. It was waaaay too big. Practically slid over my hips. I exchanged it for a size 8. Still a little roomy, but comfortable.

Great travel bag -
This is the perfect size to carry when traveling. Holds essentials: wallet, passport, tickets, small camera... love the phone pocket on the strap, easy access. Like to wear across the body; makes valuables safer, and hands free. Not too big, so can't overfill and make too heavy. And it looks good. Only thing I don't like... the strap worn across body rubs on cotton shirt and "balls" it up. But I will still use it; maybe wear "sport" material.

Chic but a bit scratchy - The bag looks very stylish, but it could use more compartments on the outside. The material is a bit scratchy against the arm.

Ruins your clothing -
Hi, bought this bag and loved the look, the size and the pockets. Zappos is amazing and I received it next day, although I took free shipping! I am traveling to Europe and it's perfect, or so I think. After wearing the bag cross shoulder for 3 days I realize it's ruining every top I'm wearing. The strap is scratchy and it catches on knit tops, cami's, my cardigan. When I looked at each of these closely it's ruined 3 articles of clothing, one an expensive top from Anthropoligie. I'm going to contact Kevu and let them know; hopefully they will exchange it for something else. Beware!

A winner -
I have had my marigold bag about a week - very fast shipping, I might add. My 22yo daughter doesn't like the look of it, but I very much do. The funky rope strap ends up being only about 1/2 the strap if you extend it to a crossbody style - which is why I only gave the look 4 stars. The absence of inner separations is mildly annoying - but it is very light and yesterday I was able to carry everything I needed for a day by the pool (except a towel) inside w/o overstuffing it or looking like I was going off for a weekend. It has an exterior pocket on each end - which I didn't see on the pictures. That's handy for little stuff. It seems very rugged and well built.

Lightweight yet roomy - This is a great purse that you can put over one shoulder or across your body. It's very light, yet holds a lot: wallet, checkbook, keys, makeup, water bottle and more. Has lots of compartments to keep everything in its place. It's comfortable to carry, has an adjustable strap, and looks very cute also.

This is a super cute bag and I really, really wish it would have worked out! However, the bag is incredibly big, way too big for me. It is hard to tell how big it is in the picture. The strap is really wide also and feels funny lying on the chest.

Nice quality skirt. I'm 5'4" and felt that it was a little too long for me, but the photo shows an accurate depiction of the length, so I think I just didn't factor how it would look on me. The fabric is pretty thick and of a good quality, but I'm in Vegas and would prefer something more lightweight. So, not the skirt for me, but if I were back in Seattle, I'd probably keep it!

Kavu Keeper Bag - Super!
I bought this bag four years ago - in Khaki. It's amazing. Holds soooo much. I was online to see if it came in leather as I'd like one for "dressier" use. Nope. So, I'll just keep tossing this one in the wash (comes out perfect!) and use - again and again. I love the size and the ability to carry so much - wallet, camera, sunglasses, bag o' blush/gloss/mirror, etc.

Buy a size or two larger!
I wear a size 10 or a Medium in tops and jackets but I needed an XL in this -- fits VERY close to the body unless you order up. I love it! Great quality fabric and construction. I ordered the Banana and it is more of a pale gold than a yellow. Perfect.

I really, really like this bag. It is light weight. I got it to carry my "stuff" to work but use it most of the time. Room for papers and books I need plus billfold, keys, phone, water and small lunch. I really like that the top has a zipper close and one zipper pocket on the side. The other side has a Velcro pocket that is also large enough for lots of things. The only thing is that the straps are just a little off. Hard to say what but the straps just a bit short for over the shoulder and somehow just doesn't feel just right. But I still really like it and use it all the time.

Love the "ugly bag". It’s a different look. Lots of pockets, zippers. Very roomy. Padded strap makes it comfortable. If you like roomy, comfortable, and unique, this is your bag.

Not a cross-body bag!
I bought this bag after searching for "cross-body bags" but in reality discovered that's not what it is at all. It's cute enough as a regular shoulder bag, but the strap is too short and the bottom panel too wide and stiff to wear cross-body.

Best Purse EVER -
I've been looking for an adequate purse forever, especially since having kids and struggling with diaper bags and backpacks and purses of all varieties. I knew I wanted a crossbody to minimize having to use my hands or arms to hold onto it, so I tried this one. I could not be happier with it. Four separate compartments mean I don't have to fiddle for anything. I keep all my important and frequently used stuff in the front zip compartment where the indispensable key fob is. I use the bigger compartment to keep a spare diaper, wipes, and a garbage bag. For longer outings, I'll stash some snacks in the back compartment. This still leaves the front pocket empty. I can put it on in the morning and not have to take it off for anything the whole time I'm out or fiddle with it. The only reason I deducted a star for comfort is that sometimes the shoulder strap rubs against my neck uncomfortably. Otherwise, this is the PERFECT bag for me, the mom of two kids under 5. I will probably get one more in another color.
