I am over the moon with this bag. Even better than I expected. All the pockets and compartments mean nothing gets lost. I have the choice of taking as much or as little with me when out and about, without the pain of having to change bags as you always forget something. Another big plus is that it is so light. I have a similar bag in leather and it weighs an awful lot. I have is is my 4th Kipling and I must say their quality is outstanding. The only very small niggle is I wish you could chose your own monkey. As a mature woman I find the furry monkey not to my taste, but I have seen the metal one and it’s lovely.
