Kipling Women's Experience S Backpack Handbags, 26x32x16 cm (B x H x T)

Really pleased with this bag. It is about the same size as a medium size handbag with 2 side pockets to fit small brolly or thin water bottle. Front zipped pocket would fit large phone. Deep front pocket could fit book. Main compartment has a padded sleeve for small tablet, phone and pen pocket plus key chain. Compartment is roomy enough for purse, tablet, phone, book, tissues, handiwipes, gloves, earphones with room to spare. Purple colour is very dark looking though.UPDATE: I have used this every day since I bought it and it still looks like new. No wear and tear or seam problems so well worth the money HOWEVER it's a real chore opening the toggle fastening to get to my purse in shops. Juggling basket, shopping bag and unfastening the toggle section is too difficult so I would recommend a zip fastening backpack instead. I've just ordered a different Kipling style so will review that at a later date.

I am trying to carry less due to a back injury and this backpack is just perfect. Enough room for my gym clothes and Pilate's block, purse and other essentials. Not big enough to get the extra usual rubbish I carry 'just in case'. Small water bottle fits on the outside but usual size will have to go inside. Feels very secure with internal fastening and metal external fasteners during travelling. Well made.

Lovely bag! Wanted a smallish backpack so it doesn't get in people's way when out and about. It's a nice size, and the colour/texture is really unusual for a kipling bag. My 4 year old said it looks like Lego (which it does a bit!). Price was really good when I got the bag, although is has risen since buying it.

Perfect size for fitting my trainers, lunch and purse in. All I need for commuting :) Quite cute as well as practical! I was disappointed that the clips were a little scuffed when it arrived which look a bit untidy but seem to be unable to contact the seller without requesting a refund so hoping a review will get them in touch with me to resolve this!

Delighted with this new purchase.Amazing bag, great value for price paid.

Have always felt that backpack styles of bag were very vulnerable but this bag has very firm closures and an inner drawstring feature. I carry far too much with me, but this bag takes it all, but is not big or bulky. Together with the matching small shoulder bag, I feel organised for anything!

This is such a lovely bag but I had to return it as I couldn't open the front to get into it. I don't normally have dexterity problems but this was really difficult even for my husband. It's quite roomy once opened and a lovely colour and pattern but I got it to take to a new job and I wouldn't be able to open it once I got to work which was not the object of using it. I must add I have over 30 kipling bags and I was so disappointed to return this one.

Had intended to get the City S backpack but ended up with Experience S Backpack and I am so pleased with my purchase. It looks great and is very neat.
