Kipling El Dorado Crossbody, Very Berry

I loooove this bag. I spent days looking for a small cross-body bag that would fit my phone and a few other items. Despite the price, I decided to purchase this one, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised when I started using it.It holds everything I need without getting heavy or bulky. The zippers and velcro closures seem very sturdy. The strap is wide enough to not hurt my neck or shoulder and it is very easy to adjust. The bag sits comfortably on my hip (or on my lap if I'm sitting) and it doesn't get on the way.In the front zippered bag I put my HTC Incredible with case and a pack of tissues. My phone is easily accessible and I have no problem retrieving it when it rings.In the front pocket I put my wallet and keys. Also very easy to reach.The back zippered pocket is large enough to fit a small planner, two small containers with hand cream and hand sanitizer, a pack of gum, a pocket mirror, a lipgloss, and my sunglasses. This pocket is not very easily accessible because the zipper is behind the shoulder strap, but I don't mind because I only need this items occasionally.The middle pocket is designed to hold cards but I don't trust it because it doesn't seem very secure (that's why I use my wallet instead). I use this space to hold a usb stick, an ipod nano and earphones, a pen, and other random items that I rarely use like coupons and wipes.The only con is that it doesn't have a secured pocket for small items like earrings or loose change.The color in the picture of the "true blue" is deceiving. I was expecting it to be a bit brighter and slightly washed out, but it's a very dark blue, almost black. It's a pretty color, but it looks more "formal" than what I expected. I suggest you google the name and color to see what it really looks like.Bottomline: this is a very useful and cute bag.

Great quality bag, exactly what you'd expect from Kipling. It is small though. I had read the reviews and did the measurements, but was still surprised by it's size when I received it. In the end though, it actually holds quite a bit. My iPhone 6 plus fits with no issues, and there is plenty of room for other incidentals with one caveat, I cannot fit my keys in it. I do have a lot of keys on my key chain, and my two car keys are quite big on their own, so people with less keys (only 3-4) shouldn't have a problem. I just attached a carabiner clip to my key chain and clip them on the outside of the purse instead of trying to shove them inside.

I wanted a nice carrier for my beautiful Nexus 6p which I have in a rather bulky protective case. Not much out there! I saw someone with a nice small bag, who turned me on to Kipling bags. I chose this one. It is perfect for what I need it to be, a good looking, secure carrier purse for my beloved Nexus 6p. It's a small bag, but has so many nooks and crannies that a lot can fit in there even those it is quite compact. I am absolutely delighted with it.

Bought this bag for my husband, he loves it. The size and durability of this bag is excellent. He loves the easy to get in to pockets, zipper is strong, fabric will last a life time...its a perfect fit. Perfect for men to carry their keys, sunglasses, wallet and notes. I looked at other bag designs less expensive, no comparison to The Kipling Shoulder Bag. I plan on getting myself one. Not a bad idea to buy for gift giving. LOVE IT.

lovely bag for my wife. But It takes a few time shipping to China so that it missed my wife's birthday:(

This is my second Eldorado bag. Though it's small, I can carry everything I need in it. There are plenty of credit card slots and sections to store essentials. The front zippered pocket is easily accessible and a great place to store your cell phone. The zippered pocket in the back fits anything else I could need. Worn as a crossbody bag you hardly know you are carrying a bag at all. I have used my previous bag for 5 years and it looks as good as new. I just love the true blue color and decided to get another. I can highly recommend this bag if you don't need to lug a lot a things with you.

This bag is perfect for my teen. It has multiple compartments which we feel are a plus. Take note that the size is rather small that's why I say it's "teen" size. I originally ordered this bag for an upcoming hectic business trip, but after seeing the size, my phone alone will not fit and I have an iPhone 6. The quality is good, it is light weight, price was reasonable, and since it's Kipling it's presentable.

The reviews had me a little skeptical regarding it's size but it's pretty much as described. It's actually a little bit bigger than the posted size. It fits my iPhone 6S Plus with a wallet case so I don't know why people are saying theirs don't fit. I can't even imagine how large your case would to be for your iPhone Plus not to fit. I only have two small complaints, one being that the cards slots are only protected by the velcro (which I already knew from the pictures, I just wish they were inside one of the zippers instead) and the other that the strap is a tiny bit short but I am 5'10" and have broad shoulders so that was to be expected. Over all really nice bag, really well made and it fit's everything I needed it to. Now I don't have to deal with things in my pockets woo!

Gran cualidad

Beautiful bag, excellent price. My only complaint would be how the strap is attached on one side of the bag. When worn, the strap pulls the bag and causes it to “pucker” a bit...not a big deal, though.

Muy bonita bolsa con la calidad esperada de Kipling, es pequeña pero espaciosa, muy buena para llevar celular, algo de maquillaje, tarjetas, llaves y algunas cosas mas.

Thank you kipling. Hope you have more on sale.

Está muy bonita la bolsa. Le puse 4 estrellas porque es más pequeña de lo que se aprecia en las fotos. Las medidas están en la descripción pero yo les puse atención hasta que me llegó.
