Customer Reviews Kipling Alvar Crossbody Bag

I LOVE this purse! I have a Dooney and Burke wallet that zips and I have had the most difficult time finding a DB purse that fits my DB wallet. I finally decided to try this Kipling and it fits and works perfectly! This purse is light weight, I wear it crossbody, and I love to two tone color of it. With winter coming here in Illinois the color is perfect. There are SO MANY zippers on this thing that I can easily keep everything organized in different pockets without just throwing all my stuff into one big pocket and getting mad when I can't find something. I really love this purse. Also, I am not the type of girl that likes a GIANT purse, and this isn't. It's a great size.

Great bag. First order had defect. Sent back and awaiting replacement

Wonderful bag. Goes every where.

Love these bags... lower zipper pocket fits my iPhone max. Very light weight (until I load it up with my stuff) and easy to wear cross-body when shopping, etc.

I needed a cute bag for my dog walking and outdoor trips. I have also had cancer and cannot carry my beautiful leather Hobo brand bags because they are too heavy. This bag is a great metallic color and easy access to all my things. Love love it and such a good price!!! I would buy it again!!!

This is my 6th Alvar Crossbody bag. I change the color with the seasons, but had never had coral before. The color is fresh and bright and the quality is always the excellent Kipling product. I have washed my other bags, completely submerging them. They turn out like new. The zippers are very easy to glide and work perfectly. My only complaint about this new bag is that it does not have a cord inside with clip for keys, like all my other ones. Also, and this is not really a complaint, but it is that the little monkey is now plastic instead of the cute fabric one! Overall, an excellent purse at an excellent price.

This is the perfect bag! What I carry in my bag is heavy enough you don't need a heavy material to add to it. As light weight as the material is, it is by no means thin or cheap. It is strong & durable. The neutral color is also perfect. The look/style is a classic one that I will be using this cross bag for a long time to come. Did I say that the size is perfect to, there is so much room and pockets it holds EVERYTHING I need to carry!

I love this purse! I wanted something lighter weight than the usual leather bags I carry. It’s hard to find a lightweight bag that will still hold all my stuff. I found it in this bag.

This is a great bag and the thrid one I have purchased. There is room for everything, zippered pockets inside and out for both easy access and security. When opened everything is visible and merely expands to hold more items rather than having it all fall to the bottom and bulge from there. Washable. Color doesn't fade. Perfect size for travel, work, or every day use. I try other bags, use them awhile, but always come back to this one. Love Kipling bags.

great bag with room for everything. the jaded green is a great color, doesn't scream "green." feels durable.

This is a really great crossbody handbag. I really love all of the organization that comes with the bag. I have another Kipling bag and really prefer them as they have allot of organization and are very lightweight. I would prefer a wider strap but understand that it is the width that it is due to it being a thinner handbag. I also like that the strap is adjustable and enjoy the berry color I got for spring/summer. I think that this handbag holds allot without it feeling too heavy. While being a thinner handbag it is still able to stand up on its own. This would be a good handbag to take traveling. I always switch out my handbags after a few months of use but I have the feeling I will be using this all summer long.

I purchased this bag to use while I am Europe this spring. What I love, is all the compartments and the adjustable strap.

This is a great, casual purse. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet but I plan on using it for trips and casual affairs. It has adjustable shoulder straps so you can use it over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag. The size is perfect, not too big or small. The material is soft and the purse is very light as far as weight is concerned. I love it and I’m thinking about buying another for my mother.

This is my first time using this maker of Handbags. And I must say I am extremely pleased. I love the many zippered sections period for the first time, in a long time, I am able to organize my purse like it should be. I also like the comfort of the shoulder strap which has excellent length and it can be shortened very easily. Having recently had a shoulder replacement, I find the shoulder strap wide enough to be comfortable on my shoulder. I wish they would make more solid colors such as a true red a bright green yellow Etc. I recommend this bag highly I am a handicapped senior citizen 78 years old. Buy it, you will not be disappointed.

This is an ideal size for every day and for travel. Good logical compartments, light weight and long lasting. This is my second bag of this style.

The bag is water resistant which is nice. Also many compartments and flexibility with the strap. Ordered it in three colors!

Love this bag. Lots of pockets and zippers. A great size for carrying the essentials and whatever you pick up along the way. The only thing I don’t like is that the strap is a super slipper material. So the bag itself doesn’t stay behind me as I would like. The strap moves so easily that walking and the weight of the bag inevitable bring it round to my front.

Comfortable, light weight, holds a surprising amount while still being smallish. Very attractive (I got the Alabaster)

So far I’m happy with this purse. Cool design & versatile so don’t have to change depending on what you’re wearing if you care about that kind of thing (I don’t really, but a bonus). Lots of space & pockets but doesn’t feel like a large purse. I am able to organize things well. I like that it is extremely easily convertible regarding strap/style. I also like the material. I wish it would fit my water bottle too, but it might if I took other things I have in there out, but I might need one of those things sometime in the future...?? Overall, a good bag to have in the repertoire or for general use if you don’t have a repertoire.

I love Kipling bags for travel and casual wear. I bought this in Cloud Grey Metallic but it's more of a gold color. It's neutral, lightweight and has just enough zippered pockets inside and out. I take it to the gym and can carry a water bottle in it too.

Really cute nylon bag for any casual outing. Kipling is always a great choice for me for crossbody or travel bags. I got this in Cloud Grey Metallic. It's a shimmery gold. Really fun neutral color.

I simply have to sing the praises of the material of this bag! I somehow got auto grease (a glob of it) on my gray bag and was sure I wouldn't be able to get it out, and if I were able it out I would ruin the material. Unbelievably, after using Goo Be-Gone and a metal bristled brush it is almost non existent and the material is FINE. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Aside from that I love the bag. It is light weight, has perfect pockets for phone and other things with zippers in four different places. Couldn't ask anything better.

Got this for my Mom. She loves all the compartments and the strap doesn’t cut into her shoulder like some do. It’s lightweight and the soft metallic color is very nice. She’s very happy with it.

The picture does not do it justice. Its a very beautiful bag and a very roomy bag. I'm just sorry that I have to limit myself to smaller purses due to a hip injury. I have two other Kipling fanny packs which I converted to small purses and they are just perfect for stowing everyday necessaries (as well as my eyeglass case!)

As a Man, we don't carry handbags, but we still have lots of stuff to carry like wallet, sunglasses, keys, phone...etc. and they can't all be fitting into my pants pocket. This bag is perfect ! totally unisex styling and can fit a lot of stuff! perfect for everyday also when you travel. The fabrication is very durable and easy to clean. I highly recommended! I love it so much I bought it in Navy and black color!
