Kipling Keefe Crossbody Bag

This crossbody bag has everything I want . A sturdy, good quality bag, fits lots of stuffs surprisingly. I like it so much, I get a different color for my sister.

This is the second Kipling purse I bought for my wife. The first she was using daily but she needed a slightly larger bag to hole all of her stuff including phone , medications, makeup and wallet. This Keefe Crossbody Bag was perfect for her. She loves this bag.

I really appreciate the 3 divided compartments in this bag, with the middle one giving open access with a magnetic closure. It makes it easier to reach for my phone and sunglasses when I need them fast. I was thinking maybe the front-to-back dimension might be too bulky looking, but it is not in my opinion; with stuff in in the bag, it is 4.5' to 5". The color is a vivid yellow-orange, true to what I see in my screen, and I like the pop that the white logo and zippers create. Overall one of the most functional Kipling handbags that I own out of many.

Keefe crossbody is lightweight and sturdy. Size is compact and perfect for daily use. Just enough to keep my wallet, cellphone and keys. I double the strap and use as shoulder bag. The middle section has a magnetic snap. I keep my reusable bag in there. Because it's a magnetic snap rather than a zipper, I can take it out easily and quickly. I would recommend this product.

Good size and nice compartments, like the convenience of the open compartment in the middle. Beautiful exterior color. Not thrilled about the print of the interior, but not a big enough deal to take off a star. I didn't care for the plastic monkey that was attached - almost enough to remove a star for this. The original furry monkeys were far better.

Love the bag. Would have liked the center compartment to be a zippered one rather than a snap. I have lots of things in there. However, I can't carry my sunglasses in there. Also would have liked it to be a little bigger with wise. Height is good.Worth what I paid for it on sale.

I originally purchased this bag because of the splashy orange color on the website. I should have paid attention to its description: "Soft Apricot" is more like it (hence the 4 stars). However, it checks all my other boxes, so I decided to keep it. I love plunging my hand into the snapped middle pocket for my big key fob without fumbling through my other contents. The two zippered outer pouches afford all the security I need for my phone, ID, money, and credit cards. I bought it to wear as a crossbody, but the strap is also a perfect length for my shoulder and it never slips off.

Love the bag but not giving 5 stars because I purchased for a trip and the strap began pilling. I find that this should not happen after a couple of weeks. Still love it and not complaint much because its a casual bag and I got it in sale. Not worth the full price though.

I currently have 5 Kipling Keefe Crossbody bags. Recently I bought the pink fuchsia with navy piping. While the material is the same as it was previously, the zippers now zip in the opposite direction. This takes a bit of getting use to. Also the zipper pulls are different and not as comfortable to use. The monkey is now a cheap rubber thing. Might as well not include it since it is really junk. One suggestion I have is to have a nice patterned material. A jewel tone paisley pattern or a bright biggish floral pattern would be nice. I only buy my Kipling bags from Kipling since there are so many knock offs on the market.

My problem with this bag is that the center section lacks a zipper and closes only with a snap. It leaves open space on both sides of the snap. As a result, it cant hold anything that can fall out if accidentally turned upside down. To make matters worse, the strap is incredibly wonky. If its doubled up, the bag comes to stomach level. If its adjusted to be a single strap, it distorts the shape of the bag by crossing the middle section. Its incredibly awkwardly constructed. Wouldnt recommend and wouldnt purchase again. Disappointing.
