craftyhunnypie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have gone mad on these bags! They were on QVC the other week & I thought how good they were. I've just ordered a lipstick red firework bag to use as my hand luggage for my hols! But I also like all the monkeys you can collect. Just can't wait for it to arrive now!!!

Charlottechicken Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 They are lovely aren't they How many do you have Emma? I found a shop called ETC where they sell similar bags (not half as nice as Kipling though, but dirt cheap) and I have two of theirs, nice wipe clean fabric, lots of colour choice, pockets everywhere and that seatbelt like stuff as handles, just no monkey!

Couperwife Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a kipling bag and I love it. its a small one, just big enough to put purse, mobile and keys in it its denim blue, and really useful for nights out. I want a weekender kipling bag, but they are rather expensive . just gotta save up I guess cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ooooooooooo - Kipling bags - now you are talking! I just love them ,I have about 5 I think plus the girlies each have a nice Balloon bag as their school bag........perfect as they wash back to new looking at the end of each term. I have a gorgeous hot pink Bora for the summer, & this time of year I use one in Sea Fog,which is a lovely sort of browny grey (nicer than it sounds!). My other favourite is A Defea in Azure blue - a bigger bag with heaps of pockets to use as a holiday handbag. As you can probably tell,I am quite obsessed! I get mine from eBay or HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Another "must have" for Omleteers? I wonder how many pages this thread will run to? They do look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lailapet Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I used to have a dark blue backpack - sort of double layered thing - for cycling to work. I loved it apart from having to flip the whole top layer over to get to the second and then pens and other small stuff would fall out. It was incredibly roomy for a smallis bag though... My friend borrowed it for hand luggage for a flight back home to the UK after visiting and so it is no longer mine. Perhaps I should get another one next time I go to the UK...

Omletina Kyckling Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I got confused for a minute then. I thought you were all talking about Mr Kipling and that he was doing bags if you bought three packets of his nasty pies or something!! Think'll I'll go for a lie down (after I've looked at Kipling bags on Ebay of course!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 When we have chatted about these before did somebody mention that they had the monkey pinched from the bag and that it was a bit of an issue? It could have been Chookiehen or I could be making the whole thing up I must say I thought cakes rather then bags when I saw the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 When we have chatted about these before did somebody mention that they had the monkey pinched from the bag and that it was a bit of an issue? Yes I remember that now you come to mention it. Wan't it one of Cinnamon's daughters? I must say I thought cakes rather then bags when I saw the title Me too!

chelsea Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 im a big QVC fan but I think the kipling bags are very expensive for what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 It might have been one of mine - can't remember,but I know my girls take their monkeys off & keep them at home now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Both me and DD have them for school/work - we got them from the outlet village in Bicester. Even though they are a bit pricey its the only bag that has lasted for more than a few months with DD's flute. music, school books, etc and I love the fact that you can just stick them in the washer to come up clean again. Worth the extra amount to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Kipling cakes monkeys . What are you all on about . (I'm not a handbag girl at all, much happier with my keys in one pocket, money in another and mobile in another - should've been a bloke .)

Snowy Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We've got a Kipling Outlet store in Portsmouth Need I say more Possibly explains why there were Kipling bags for sale on the ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo last year! You will be pleased to know I resisted temptation. OH was when I pointed them out because everyone on the Omlet forum was talking about them! (there was another thread about them sometime last year ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've got a tayla in a blue colour, a black duffel bag, a little sort of organiser bag in pink and soon my lipstick red firework from the IF range. I've already got 3 monkeys...Leslie,Eddy & Klaus. I think my new bag has a hard plastic monkey?? SO I will be wanting a furry one to clip on that...I like the jester ones! I think the next one I buy will be a big cherry bag or large tote style. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 just looked up Ollie & Nic bags in google.

theherd123 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My nanna recently bought one of these bags but took the monkey off as she didnt think it appropriate to leave it on the bag at her age - she is 80! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
