Say good-bye to sore shoulders
By Gloria the bag lady

About Me Comfortable
Comments about Kipling Alvar Shoulder / Cross Body Bag:
I used my bag for the first time on a 7 day trip to the northwest. The adjustable straps made it convenient for changing the weight of the bag during the day. It eliminated the pain I usually get in my shoulders from carrying my bag only on one side. I was even able to keep my bag strapped to me during the airplane flight. Most other bags are to bulky to share the airplane seat.

Great bag..for the weekend and work week
By GrammyClaire
from Escalon, CA
My physical therapist said to downsize my bag and to get one with a wider strap for my neck and shoulder pain. This bag holds all my stuff yet isn't too heavy and clumbersome.
I love this bag.

I have quite a few Kipling bags, my first one was the zip top, fold-over, with handle and strap, and I love that one too. I would like to find a yellow reg. size alvar bag in yellow. Can you help me? thanks.

Never thought I would find a sling bag that is roomy yet stylish and not bulky. Ever since I saw Alvar I've been looking forward to its next new color release...can't believe I am collecting the same style in different colors...(",)
It's a super duper bag!

I am a sucker for bags with compartments which is why i'm such a Kipling fan. And I use this bag almost everywhere i go especially during weekends and even short trips. I love that you can adjust the straps easily and its comfortable both as a crossbody or shoulder bag. All my stuffs like my phone, tissues, wallet, pens, shopping list, my daughter's toys all go in different compartments so they are easy to retrieve. I've got mine in blue and i don't mind getting myself another one, especially a purple one. Thanks Kipling for making a great everyday bag!

Better than I thought it'd be...
By Monkeygirl

I needed a travel purse - badly. I settled on this one and was QUITE pleasantly surprised. I bought it while on my vacation. It's flat enough to the body and does hold quite a bit, but when home, it gets too crowded with extra keys, glasses and such that I didn't bring on vacation. Too bad - it would make a great daily purse otherwise.
BEST TRAVEL BAG ON THE MARKET!
By Sunflower

I got this bag to use as my purse for a recent trip out west. Wanted a bag that had the option of being worn cross-body OR as a shoulder bag, and the ALVAR fit the bill perfectly!This amazing, highly-oganized bag has a very trim look, and yet holds an incredible amount of stuff! There are interior pockets for camera, cell phone, and pens. I even had room for a fairly large paperback book!I got the black color, to go with everything. Am now tempted to get a bright, playful color!Thank you, Kipling, for the perfect travel purse!
