Kipling Gabbie Crossbody Bag

I am happy with my purchase just what I needed and it is exactly how is advertised.

I love this bag. Perfect size to fit everything and perfect neutral metallic color, it’s more on the gold tone than silver. It’ll match any color outfit. So happy I got on the Black Friday sale, it was a great deal! Happy with the purchase!

I own this in the soft metallic gold color for warmer weather and just bought a black one for fall winter travel. Perfect amount of pocket. I feel like it is a good pickpocket proof purse when you’re holding onto it. Great that it can be crossed body or on the shoulder. I thought several over the years of the Gabbie and they’re perfect if you want a lightweight rather than a nice leather purse.

I wish I hadn’t taken the tags off and used it. I don’t like how it closes, I have to fight with it to snap it down. And the shoulder straps are always tangled when I need to put it on. I am actually annoyed that I paid so much for something that I hate.

I have many purses but I needed a bag I can beat up. This bag holds everything I want (large wallet, keys, change pouch, AirPod max, foldable tote bag, random other things) with plenty space for more. It has lots of pockets and zippered areas. It seems well built and easy to access items on the go. It’s cute and down played. It’s a utility purse. Works great for what I need it for. It seems weather resistant as well!

Fits 13" Macbook Air, 12.9" iPad Pro, and then some. Also great for going out, tons of storage and comfortable to wear.

I love this bag. I have been searching for a crossbody that allows me to carry all I need without being weighed down. That being said I am a 28 year old female, no kids, nor do I really go anywhere. Its just my fiance and I BUT I am a very obsessive "what if I need this" type of person. At any given moment I have snacks, juice boxes, wet wipes, sanitizer, mask, emergency makeup kits- just about anything you can think of really and that weighs my purses down. I have tried Marc Jacobs traveler totes, coach, kate spade, tory burch, brahmin and even Louis Vuitton totes and all of them cause stress and pain to my shoulders. So instead of making my purse lighter (cus remember I "need" all of this lol) I searched and searched and after almost 2 years and an accidental run in with a Kipling store at the mall I have found this purse. Not only does every pocket and compartment have incredible space and expansion, but it is organized so efficiently that I no longer feel embarrassed about my need to carry so many things on a day to day. The best part is how light weight this purse is as well. I cant even tell im carrying Hermione bottomless bag. I could not ask for more and for a girly girl like me, rose gold with subtle specs of glitter? Count me in please. Best purchase I have made in a long time, so much so that I genuinly could go with out ever buying a purse again.

Review by N's Wife: Not Well-Made Like These Bags Used to Be. This will do for travel. I like the numerous pockets and the big zippers. The purse is defective: It has an adjustable strap and a buckle to adjust the strap. However, the buckle does not fit the strap properly and when walking the strap gradually lengthens until it extends to its maximum length. After two months in Italy struggling with this defect, I sewed the strap to a fixed position with needle and threat. For the price of this bag, which was expensive, there should not have been a major design defect. It seems that designers and manufacturers today do not care whether the item works correctly or not.
