I’m new to the Kipling brand, but goodness knows why I haven’t spotted this brilliant brand before. So I’ve eventually caught up with Kipling with their introduction of the Spring Summer ’23 season. The Gabbie S I tested was in a gentle, soft lilac, a lovely new colour, but there are 30 colours for you to select from, I’m sure a colour for all tastes. This bag is a cross body bag, but my preference is to wear on one shoulder and the adjustable strap allowed me to do just that. There’s a phone pocket inside the bag and lots of other pockets too!
This really is a beautiful bag, being simple in its design but so functional and practical as it features multiple pockets and compartments to store all your daily essentials when you’re out and about. Plus there’s an adjustable, detachable strap to finish off this everyday bag.
So let me tell you a little more on the product detail front. There’s so much going on with this bag, so I’ve listed it to make it easier:
- Kipling robot monkey
- Kipling logo badge
- Zipped main compartment with:
- Mobile phone compartment
- Pen loop
- 1 zipped inside pocket
- 2 side pockets, one either end of the bag.
- 2 zip pockets at front of the bag.
- Zipped pocket on the back of the bag.
The Gabbie S is part of the Kipling Classics collection. The outer material is 100% Polyamide and the lining material is 100% Recycled Polyester. The dimensions are 29, width x 22 height x 16.5 depth cm. Weight is 0.33kgs, volume 7 litre.
There is simply masses of space inside the bag, making is very practical and the durable, water-repellent, lightweight fabric means it’s great in the rain! The Gabbie is classed by Kipling as a mini bag but I found it worked so well for me when in the past I’ve always looked for a larger bag. The secret that Kipling have is the plentiful pockets which help users to be more organised, more a place for everything and everything in its place I think!
Another huge plus point for Kipling is that there is free delivery on orders from £39.00, free returns and a 2 year warranty. I really don’t need anything else, apart from checking out their website and check out all the rest of their range.

Finally some further information about the brand which I’ve taken from their website:
