me and my kiplings

Those who know me know how much I love my Kiplings. They are not only cute and colourful, they’re also practical with lots of clever pockets all over the place. But best of all… THEY ARE WASHABLE. Yep, just toss these babies in the washing machine and they come out fresh and clean and can air dry within a couple of hours. So that’s what I did this past weekend when I realised I’d be putting the two summer bags (green and red) away and using just the purple one for the winter.

Since Covid being able to wash handbags has become more than just a convenience, though even before I would get grossed out thinking about old leather bags that never get cleaned on the inside, so I stopped buying them years ago. I feel the same way about leather gloves… ewww. In fact, saw some leather gloves on display in a shop the other day and wondered who would even wear those now, unless they also wore disposable latex gloves inside them. Yeah I know, it’s not easy being me. 😉

ps.  took me half an hour to untangle all the straps…

new kipling!

bags, handbags, kipling, retail therapy

In summer I have a two-bag system, mostly because it’s too damn hot to carry a biggish bag over my shoulder. Also, I tend to have a few extra things to carry around, at least when I’m working. So I usually have a small shoulder bag, really just big enough to carry the essentials (house keys, wallet, iphone) and then all the other stuff goes into a bigger handbag.

Before I discovered and became obsessed with, Kiplings, this auxillary bag used to be a brightly coloured summery straw one, then two summers ago I found this green one. Yep, another Kipling.

Anyhow, today while out doing Beer O’clock with Peter the strap on my trusty mini bag (my first ever Kipling) broke off, and so it was time to look for a new one. I’d seen that red one before, which is the right size, but I didn’t like that detail of it turning into a waist bag (bum bag? fanny pack?) as I knew I would never use it. Then came the obvious solution – just cut off those extra straps. Which I did and now I have a flat zippered compartment at the back which is perfect for sliding my summer fan into when I’m not using it. Score! 🙂

new kiplingYep, it’s getting to be a thing with me and these Kipling bags. You may recall my first one (that looks almost exactly like this one but is about 1/3 the size), and then last summer when I was in Madrid I found another one on special offer that I thought would be big enough to be more of an all-purpose bag. Turned out it wasn’t, but it was almost big enough so I kept using it. And then I found this baby. Yeah, that stupid gorilla was the first thing to go, but there is room enough for everything I need to lug around, including my iPad mini when I’m travelling. Really I just like the style of these bags, and the fact that they’re machine washable. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another leather bag again.
