About Kipling
Kipling is a Belgian handbag and luggage brand founded in Antwerp in 1987, now part of VF Corporation, recognised worldwide for its lightweight crinkled nylon bags, practical multi-compartment designs and signature hanging monkey keychain on every bag. The site kipling.com offers the full range — women's and unisex handbags (crossbody, shoulder, bucket, tote, bowling), backpacks (work, school, travel), wallets and small leather goods, cabin and hold luggage (wheeled carry-on, spinner suitcases, duffels), school bags, laptop bags and a growing capsule of made-from-recycled-materials styles. Iconic models include the Arto crossbody, Gabbie, Seoul backpack, Art Mini and the New Classics suitcases. Kipling focuses on everyday practicality — water-resistant fabrics, soft padded straps, multiple internal pockets, luggage-strap sleeves on cabin bags — with seasonal prints and collaborations (Disney, Studio Ghibli, Star Wars, Harry Potter) alongside the core solid colours.

💡 Money-saving tips for Kipling
- ✓Kipling's biggest markdowns cluster around Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, end-of-season sales (January and July), back-to-school and Mother's Day/Father's Day, with reductions of 30-50% on selected handbags, backpacks and suitcases. The Sale section is active year-round and rotates discontinued prints, seasonal colours and previous collection pieces — the best place to find iconic silhouettes (Arto, Gabbie, Seoul) at lower prices. Collaboration prints (Disney, Studio Ghibli, Star Wars, Harry Potter) tend to sell out at full price and rarely discount at launch — plan early if you want a specific pattern. Sign up to the newsletter for a welcome discount and sale previews. The school-bag range often has bundle offers (backpack + pencil case + lunch bag) ahead of the new school year. Klarna and Clearpay spread the cost of suitcases over instalments. Registering your bag activates the lifetime manufacturing-defect warranty on most Kipling products — keep the monkey keychain attached, it's part of the brand signature and expected on returns.
❓ Frequently asked questions about Kipling
Is Kipling really a Belgian brand?
Yes. Kipling was founded in 1987 in Antwerp, Belgium, and still carries a strong Belgian heritage in its design team. It is now owned by US apparel group VF Corporation (the parent of Vans, The North Face, Timberland and others) but continues to design from Antwerp with worldwide distribution through its own stores and kipling.com.
Why does every Kipling bag have a monkey?
The furry monkey keychain is Kipling's signature mascot, present on every bag since the brand launched in 1987. The monkey comes in different colours and variants (seasonal editions, collaborations, plain and prints) and has become a collector item — some customers buy multiple monkeys to swap between bags. The monkey should stay attached when returning an item.
Are Kipling bags lightweight?
Yes — that's one of Kipling's defining features. Most bags and backpacks are made from crinkled nylon that is significantly lighter than leather equivalents while being water-resistant and hard-wearing. This makes them popular for travel, school and everyday use. Suitcases use similarly lightweight materials to reduce empty weight and maximise the packing allowance within airline limits.
Does Kipling offer a warranty?
Yes. Most Kipling bags carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when registered on kipling.com. The warranty does not cover normal wear, accidental damage or cosmetic marks. Keep proof of purchase and register your bag after buying to activate the warranty.
