Hi, We're Kipling!

When you see our furry monkey keychain, you know it's us!

WE LIGHTEN YOUR STEP
TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE

Backtrack to 1987…

when three Antwerp-based designers discovered crinkle nylon while experimenting with dyeing the 1930s textile. This featherlight, durable, and water-resistant material became the key to Kipling's success story. Our iconic designs are built on more than 30 years of innovation. We combine functionality with effortless style to create timeless and versatile essentials that follow you everywhere you go. From the city to the beach; the playground to the office, and everywhere in between.
