Customer Reviews Kipling Alvar Crossbody Bag

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!

This bag appeared to be good quality, with lots of zippered compartments and the ability to adjust the strap. I simply felt the bag was too wide for me. I also had visions of filling all those compartments and walking around with bulky bag. I'm going to look at the smaller sizes to see if I can find something more appropriate for me. Zappos has the best service, hands down!

I love these little kipling bags. They're so helpful, light, and easy to organize your things in. Highly reccomend!!

A great crossbody bag. It's light, durable and I can wash it, if necessary. I love Kipling and will continue to buy their products.

Got this for someone and they are still using it! Thanks!

Best purse EVER!! I like to use the product for a while before writing a review and have had this purse for over 2 years now. It still looks like brand new & has never been washed, only spot cleaned. (Steel Grey color) I'd been looking for a bag for well over a year. I don't have a fancy purse collection and am happy with a quality bag that will last for years. Favorite features are the many zippered compartments keeping everything organized and in it's place, the adjustable strap, water-repellent material(even in the pouring rain contents inside have stayed dry), easy pull zipper can open with one hand (was skeptical about the plastic but it's very durable), also the thin non-bulky design sits flat on your body (better for the back, even loaded down). Can fit a water bottle if laying sideways. Can even get a magazine or book in there. The only thing I would change about this bag is the bottom width. If it fanned out just a little towards the bottom, they purse may sit upright. Unless it's leaning on something, it tips right over. It does slide down the shoulder unless weighted down a little. Works best as a crossbody & is very comfortable. Although skeptical about trying a new brand in bag I'm very happy I did! I've been using natural fiber bags for years, but they all fall apart. (Kavu is a favorite, but they don't last) This was my first Kipling bag & it won't be the last!

This purse is just what I was looking for! It is not heavy like a leather purse and is just the right size. At first I was afraid everything would sink to the bottom but I have the navy color and the inside is tan so things are easy to see. Great compartments and zippered closings which are a must for me! The strap is great too as it is flat (round straps tend to roll off my shoulder)and not to narrow. Check out this purse!!

Very good looking, useful bag. Love the many pockets. Color is pretty too.

I love Kipling bags - and this one is no exception. It is roomy, but not too large for ease in carrying for travel.

I love love Kipling bags! Durable and stylish. Great for traveling and going shopping. Cross body frees up your hands. I'm a plus size woman and I appreciate that the strap is long enough to actually cross my body. I really like that it cleans up so easily. It's a little smaller than I was hoping for but it keeps me from putting to much in my purse. This has become my go to purse and I use it often. Wish I could get every color and a few more styles.

Purchased this bag to use on vacation and it worked very well. Large enough to hold all necessary items, but small and lightweight enough not to be burdensome.

Absolutely LOVE this bag! I have four of them-- grey, turquoise, black with gold hardware and no monkey :(, and coated black. Not too big, not too small. Perfect. Wish they would find a way to convert to a backpack for walks through the woods. Love Kipling!

This is a great purse! Have had for several months and it looks like new. Lots of great pockets for organization. Adjustable strap. Sturdy material.

Love this cross body bag. Cute, lightweight, sturdy, great size for daily use. Pockets abound. I was looking for a lightweight cross body bag and a friend recommended this one. So glad! My son loved the little gorilla keychain too!

Lightweight, roomy, but not too spacious, excellent zippers, dusty grey is a pretty grey, strap is comfortable, nice everyday or travel purse.

Absolutely love it! Perfect size. I tend to carry too many items in my purse making it very heavy. This purse gets me so organized and is so light I almost forget it's there.

I bought this bag (in gray) about 4 years ago and use it most of the time. I still get compliments on it and it's held up perfectly. 100% happy!

Love the bag and the color is true, it is a cherry that pops! I have had another Kipling bag for 8 years and it has been around the globe and after nearly daily use for that whole time, the main zipper broke. So ordered this lovely bag and like the pockets, lining and overall quality. Received it quickly, well wrapped and protected. This was my first order from Zappos, but will not be my last.

Pros, light weight, color Dusty Gray, plenty of pockets, price, fits great as a crossbody, zipper closures, fast shipping from Zappos. Love it.

I now own 4 of these bags. I use every day and travel with them. Great pockets for all of your needs. These are the best!

I am more than pleased with this purchase. This bag is everything that I wanted. It is nice looking - light weight - holds all my items and I made a good decision in this purchase.

I bought this bag for travel and it has met all of my expectations. Every zippered compartment works well for keeping track of everything. The material is attractive, durable, and light weight. The strap is easily adjustable for every length - including cross body.I am very satisfied with it in every way.

I love the purse! I got it for travel and it definitely served the purpose. It's compact but you can pack plenty, the strap stays on your shoulder, the color a very attractive neutral. I had many other Kipling and they are all of good quality, very good craftsmanship. I highly recommend this purse.

I love this bag. I have it in navy and in black. I appreciate all the zippered compartments. Best of all it is washable (by hand).
