I love Kipling, have many Kipling bags and this mini backpack doesn't disappoint.It's big enough to fit the essentials and small enough to be considered a purse. I keep my Kipling Jessi wallet in the back zip pocket and its length makes it fit snuggly (not a problem though), but wide wise there's enough space for my cellphone. When I use a pixie or money love wallet I can fit more than just my cellphone in that pocket.I keep my emergency kit (Patricia Nash Keisley Cosmetic Key Fob) and Kipling medium size vintage pouch with personal items in the main pocket as well as my thin planner (check cover size) and pen. It doesn't have the key leash or pen slip pocket that larger city packs have, but I just put my keys in the main compartment zip pocket which makes it easy to reach. There's plenty of space left if I need it.I keep face masks in the outer cinched pocket and a couple lip balms, small size Voltaren, nail file and analgesics in the front zip pocket. I keep my perfume style maze in one of the side pockets and the other I leave empty for a bottle of water. You could fit a bottle to up to 20 oz (about 2" diameter), in that pocket.I chose the dynamic beetle color because it is my favorite and I feel it is a neutral color.Hope my description helps you decide if this beautiful and useful backpack is for you.

I wanted a cute but big and useful backpack for school and travel. It is exactly what I wanted but keep in mind that the color is a little lighter than the picture.
Color adecuado, funciones que necesito y se ve bien elaborada con los detalles adecuados.
I love Kipling bags and it is the only name brand bag I buy. So I’m familiar with the quality of these.I received the XL backpack that seems authentic, but it isn’t like in the photo. I’ve attached photos of my bag.The first big thing I noticed: there’s no zippered laptop compartment in the back as shown. There is a small zipper on the top with a super-tiny pocket (think wallet, phone, passport or plane tickets… maybe not all depending on your phone and wallet size). There is an open pocket inside with some padding, however. But not easy access to the laptop, so I don’t know how this is advertised as a laptop bag. Maybe it was a redesign because there’s complaints about the zipper breaking? I can see that this will be stronger in the long run not having a zipper near the back straps.There is an additional unpadded pocket in the main compartment as well that isn’t shown in the advertisement photos at all. Mine is beige where the photos show blue and no extra layers.The other difference is the pen/accessory pocket sewn in the front large compartment is also different than shown on my bag… Mine has one big pocket toward the back of the bag and a place for pens. No padded pocket up there nor a pocket on the front flap.Finally, the bottom corners are without lining like I expect from Kipling bags – so it is not reinforced precisely where backpacks usually get holes. There is lining on the bottom, but it doesn’t extend all the ways to the corners. It seems odd and may shorten the life of the bag. It also diminishes protection of contents if anything hits the bottom corners. This is designed for clothes in the main compartment, not school books or binders with pointy corners.I’m not sure if I got a fake bag. The barcode had black lines through it, but the bag seems unused otherwise. The rubber monkey keychain is the same as with other bags.I’ll give it a try as the size and weight are what I need (it should be perfect as a Spirit or Frontier personal item), but I will report back if the laptop is hard to access in transit. I am not using it to carry binders or school books so the corner weakness may or may not be an issue.I’ll try to report back. This will either be a redesign for the better (for travel and non-school use), or will be a pain through TSA and trying to work on the plane.
