Products
Q:

How should I care for my Kipling Product?

A: Our crinkle nylon handbags, backpacks, totes, accessories, and luggage can be softly cleaned with a wet cloth. Simply wipe the outside fabric and hang to dry.

In case of a deep stain, clean the fabric with a cloth or soft brush using water and mild soap. Be sure to limit the exposure to direct heat or sunlight to avoid fading, avoid bleach, and do not soak in water.

Insider tip: Use caution when carrying a light bag while wearing dark colored denim to prevent color transfer.

A: Product measurements are listed under the description tab on each product page. Product measurements are taken as follows:

Drop length
