Kipling candy bag?

[Guest]

Hi there

Me again. Just posted a thread 5mins ago and realised I forgot to ask about Kipling Candy bags. Could someone explain how useful they are? is it worth buying one and, if so, where from?

Thanks again

I have one I bought about a year ago, I have various other bags ( inc kipling ones ) but haven't used anything other than my candy since ! It's like a tardis, at the moment I have my phone, purse, c card wallet, pens, notebook and wet wipes in main compartement, 2 huge carrier bags - the stiff reusuable kind in the next section ( oh and some sweets ! ) keys go in the back pocket, and lipsticks and tissues in the front pocket , and there is still room for more, everything is so easy to find, which is why I prefer it over my other bags.
I used it for my on board bag last year ( after luggage was tightened up ) and carried tickets, camera , sweets , tissues, wipes, book, notebook and purse with no problems ! I also used it around parks - the across body strap and the way it converts to a backpack was useful. have I sold it to you yet ?
I bought mine from Hudsons leather site, but ebags is another good site.

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes you have sold it to me but was wondering just how big or compact they are? Sorry if this seems a silly question

Hi, another thumbs-up for the Kipling Candy from me, my DH bought me one for my birthday last month and I love it, use it as my everyday bag and get tons of stuff in it

I also chose it with a view to it being useful on future holidays, it converts from handbag to shoulder bag to across-the-body bag to rucksack in seconds.
Its actually very compact but as ali says its like a tardis inside

You won't regret buying this bag!

Have been hanging my nose over one after readin all the reports on here,but thought that would be my treat either jus before we go or as soon as we get there.Then lo and behold!There they were in the Debenhams blue cross sale!£21 for a lilac one and its now already packed with passports, driving license,purses containing trav checks and dollars,a folded extra backpack,kagoule in a bag,puzzle and reading books,and numerous other bits and bobs.We're not going til Jan 4th, but its added to my hyperactive excitement!
PS I think £21 was a good price?

OMG, i love my Kipling Candy bag. As others say, it looks small, but its like the black hole inside!
The back section alone can hold 3 500ml. bottles of juice! I currently have a pair of spare trousers in the back of mine in case it rains when im walking to work in the morning.
