This item was not unlike dress shorts, lightweight and less durable than typical similar products. If you have a specific reason or job that requires such an item, then these shorts may be for you. I wouldn't recommend them for everyday use.

First of all, I love Kipling purses. They are quality made, light weight, and last forever. This bag is no exception. I like that it has pockets, but not so many that I would get confused when looking for things. Can you tell that I don't think numerous pockets, slots etc.. add to a bag. This is one of the simpler of the larger Kipling bags. The only thing that I didn't like was the handles. I am very very short and because the handles are so long, they hang down, causing the strap to touch the floor. The handles were a nuisance, falling over the zipper opening. I wasn't about to adjust the strap every time I wanted to wear it Bandolareo style, which I do most of the time. I was all set to return it. :-( and hubby and I after a lot of consideration (and I don't advise this for any one else ..), with a single edge razor, he sliced off the four handles from the rubber/plastic that they were sewn into. We held our breathes and guess what, it was a piece of cake and with a little careful trimming, the handle problem has disappeared. So now I have just the bright red casual bag that I wanted for a long time, and I am thrilled. So thrilled that I am going to order a black one too, and perform the same surgery. Again, if you like the handles and/or are uncomfortable with altering the bag, don't!

Love this purse! I looked for months for the perfect purse to hold my cell phone, iPod, and work card keys in easily accessible but secure spots and the front pockets on this were perfect! It's big enough to carry a wallet, camera, water bottle, etc., but not so big that it's like carrying a suitcase. Highly recommend and I plan to purchase in other colors for other seasons.

I love this purse...bright red, well made, and lots of pockets. I have several other Kiplings and over the years Kipling have continued to maintain their excellent quality. The zippers slide beautifully and I like the contrast between the color of the purse and the large silver zippers. I rated this bag 4 stars instead of 5 because I am under 5' tall and when I carry it by the handles, the shoulder strap hits the floor. I don't want to have to keep adjusting the strap every I put it over my shoulder. This would be fine for a taller person, but not for us shorties. It is a minor point for most people, but not me. If the handles had been a few inches shorter that would have solved my problem and they still would be comfortable to wear over my shoulder. The red is gorgeous and I will be using this bag regularly. Thanks again to Zappos for fast service and excellent customer service.

Great bag! Comfortable and doesn't slip off your shoulder. Many pockets to keep yourself organized. The black color has some contrast in it and the shading is beautiful. Very well made. Highly recommend this line of bags!

I love this bag! I used to have to carry 3 bags, my wallet, diaper bag and lunch bag. I have 2 girls, 1 and 3, so I needed to have something not so big. This bag is perfect; it has room for everything. We went to Disney World and that's all I needed to carry for 7 hours. I had enough room for snacks, water, milk, diapers, extra clothes for the girls, etc. I didn't want to be dealing with a stroller as I like to have my hands free. The bag has a shoulder strap so it was perfect. I had my 1 year old in a baby carrier, my 3 year old in one hand, and the shoulder bag. So efficient!
