KiplingCity Pack Seoul Backpack

It’s not an original Kipling. The key lanyard was missing and I got caught in the rain the first day I used it and all the contents inside were soaking wet. With pools of water at the bottom of the bag

Really pleased to have checked Amazon before purchasing direct on Kipling's website. Saved myself a lot of money plus prime delivery.This is the perfect work bag for me. It has a padded laptop compartment and plenty of space for my other necessities such as cables, filofax, makeup bag, umbrella, glasses case, water bottle and other bits.I have no reason to question whether it is genuine Kipling, as another reviewer said. As with all my other Kipling bags, it is lightweight yet feels good quality.

This is my second Kipling Seoul backpack purchase. I also own the XL size (black) for around two years now and it’s proven to be great for carrying around two laptops , iPads, paperwork, lunch etc. for work.The zips on these laptops are brilliant - very large teeth and whilst not metal they glide smoothly and never fail / they lock in tight and never ease open even when carrying huge amounts of heavy items ! The material is great - easily wiped over if you spill something on it or put it down in the mud.I chose this second one as I wanted a lighter colour for holidaying this summer around the theme parks (black conducts / retains too much heat in 90 degree weather) and the only sacrifice with dropping to size large (from XL) is that there is no additional zipped laptop section at the rear of the backpack (instead the laptop compartment is internal to main bag opening albeit still a separate section and suitable for one laptop and an iPad rather than 2 or 3 laptops). Nevertheless it’s still huge !I have no doubt this backpack will stand the test of time as well as my other one. I want it to look a bit more worn in but I guess that will take quite a bit of time!

I have bought Kipling bags before and they have always been amazing. For some reason I decided not to buy a Kipling bag for work and was weighed down by my laptop and other items in the bag that I bought.I decided to by this Kipling bag and I could not be happier. My laptop, charger and note books fit with ease and there is plenty of room for my lunch, makeup and other items. So pleased with this purchase as I am no longer suffering with being weighed down by a heavy bag.

I love this brand and this bag is just perfect. My laptop fits in and even I can see Kipling lost little quality compared with my others bags that I bought 25 years ago, but it’s still okay. Thank you. I hope it last for many years too.
