Kipling Live Light
Kipling Kipling is a handbag brand that has been inspiring the spirit of movement in younger generations for over 30 years through the creativity and innovation of its collections. Colorful and practical, handbags are made of crinkled nylon and are comfortable and lightweight, perfect for a casual and spontaneous style.
The Story of "Kipling"
The Kipling brand was founded in Antwerp, Belgium’s fashion capital, thanks to the vision of three designers who, in 1987, discovered the potential of crinkled nylon in bag manufacturing. In a short time, the company began producing bags, backpacks, duffel bags, and functional, sporty accessories with a style that made history in the Bag & Travel sector.
A distinctive feature of Kipling is the Monkey (“Kipling Monkey”), the brand’s mascot, clearly inspired by the imaginative and playful stories of Joseph Rudyard Kipling, the British writer and author of the short story collection *The Jungle Book*, from which the brand takes its name.
The Kipling Monkey is the iconic little monkey known everywhere, whose popularity was particularly marked by the legendary ’90s, when these monkeys became the go-to stylish keychain accessory for school backpacks.
Kipling Monkey bags and accessories are, in fact, a must-have for any age, any season, and they complement any outfit, enhancing it.
Today, Kipling is a globally recognized brand, with over 7,500 retail locations in 80 countries—including 500 single-brand stores—and a collection ranging from backpacks to women’s handbags, duffel bags, and travel luggage, as well as shoulder bags, fanny packs, and accessories for both women and men.
