Kipling Women's City Pack Mini Backpack, Lightweight Versatile Daypack, Bag

Bought this bag because I was looking for a small backpack that still fit a good amount of stuff for travel. This bag is great because it can fit a full-sized water bottle and even a Nintendo Switch, while still being small enough to carry around daily. I love the organizational features that Kipling offers, there's two flaps on the side, a zipper pocket on the front, an organizational pocket underneath the flap, a zipper on the outside where your back is, the main compartment that zips, and an internal zipper within the main compartment for smaller, more secure items, like phones or small wallets. I love the red color of this bag too. The straps are durable and easily adjustable, the bag is quality and water resistant, and looks great. I love the vibrant red. I love that the main compartment zips and has a drawstring flap, providing more security than just standard drawstring bag. My only complaint about this bag is that I wish Kipling would bring back the fuzzy monkeys that come with each bag instead of the rubber ones they offer now. Overall, great quality bag, great size, fits a great amount of stuff, but it still lightweight and stylish.

I consider myself a 'backpack fashionista' when it comes to purse/backpacks. I love the Kipling brand and never tried one of their backpacks. I love the smaller purse-style backpacks which have pockets on the sides for cell phone, etc. and compartments for pens, slip inside pockets, etc. This "City Pack Mini" is THE most versatile, amazing mini purse-style backpack I have ever found! I chose the "Black Noir" color as I wanted something to go with many outfits. The material is superb...not too stiff but easy to wipe off if necessary. The little monkey signature Kipling ornament is cute and the size of this bag is perfect to use as a purse. Most backpack/purses are too large and uncomfortable with a big hole inside - no compartments/pockets. As a note, my phone is a bit large for the side pocket; however, it does fit and the flap just stays open, which is not a problem as I want it to be accessible anyway should I need it. A five-star find and I will surely 'gift' more of these in the future to friends, family!!

I love Kipling, have many Kipling bags and this mini backpack doesn't disappoint. It's big enough to fit the essentials and small enough to be considered a purse. I keep my Kipling Jessi wallet in the back zip pocket and its length makes it fit snuggly (not a problem though), but wide wise there's enough space for my cellphone. When I use a pixie or money love wallet I can fit more than just my cellphone in that pocket. I keep my emergency kit (Patricia Nash Keisley Cosmetic Key Fob) and Kipling medium size vintage pouch with personal items in the main pocket as well as my thin planner (check cover size) and pen. It doesn't have the key leash or pen slip pocket that larger city packs have, but I just put my keys in the main compartment zip pocket which makes it easy to reach. There's plenty of space left if I need it. I keep face masks in the outer cinched pocket and a couple lip balms, small size Voltaren, nail file and analgesics in the front zip pocket. I keep my perfume style maze in one of the side pockets and the other I leave empty for a bottle of water. You could fit a bottle to up to 20 oz (about 2" diameter), in that pocket. I chose the dynamic beetle color because it is my favorite and I feel it is a neutral color. Hope my description helps you decide if this beautiful and useful backpack is for you.

High quality as Kipling always is and so cute.

Love it, compact, has a lot of compartment. Great durable material.

Took photos to compare it to several objects for scale. The other back pack is a commuter size fjallraven Jansen, shown for scale. Good value for the money ( compared to sticker price of 109$) though. Fits a Sparkling ICE in side pocket. Original monkey.

There are lots of more affordable, crinkle nylon, small backpacks on Amazon with smart options/ features. I chose to pay for this Kipling was for the guarantee of a better quality fabric, zippers, lining and long-lasting bag hardware. I simply didn't want to tempt the chance of a fast-fashion purchase, sight unseen. I purchased the "Small" city pack because I love an everyday bag that can cleverly hold 'thinking ahead' add-ons without looking overstuffed (e.g. a change of t-shirt, a bagged lunch with water bottle, and that cosmetic or pencil case that doubles up as a first aid kit, etc.) My 2 cents: If you prefer that hands-free purse for the "basics on-repeat" (keys/wallet/phone/glasses/cosmetics bag/ snacks) I think you could easily go for the "Mini" size city pack and love your everyday purse-- without looking child like! Note: The "Small" Moss Green bag I ordered did *not* have the 'lighter with geometric lines' lining, as shown in the product images online; this one was black 😟... also it it was not the newer iteration, more subtle, all-plastic gorilla key chain as shown on product image; I received the donkey kong plushy nonsense.... and the 1st thing I removed. The remaining stitched in metal D-ring will be great to clip my set of keys 👍 Final notes: The side pockets were smaller/tighter than I thought (think: pack of gum or business card-size sort of item). The inner zip pocket did not fit my long wallet, but can fit anything less than 7 inches. I can use the deep, full length, zippered pocket along the back of the bag for that. A high quality rugged fabric bag that will serve its functionality as a hands-free everyday bag and casual purse +plus 🏅

I love this bag! It's not a school size backpack, more of a medium size. It fits so much stuff! There is one pocket on each size and there actually useful. The straps adjust and the main pocket zips. There are also two smaller pockets on the inside. This is a great day bag!

Excelente qualidade. Perfeita para o dia a dia.

Esta preciosa.

Pleased with this small backpack. Well made, lots of compartments for organisation, lightweight and comfortable to carry. Fits everything I need with room for extras, like water bottle and snacks, umbrella, cardigan or shawl, hat. etc. Perfect for travel, daytrips, sightseeing etc.
