Happy 25th Birthday to Belgian handbag brand, Kipling! Their story began in 1987 and it’s a fabulous tale of how mistakes can lead to masterpieces…
To give you the short version, it was a mistake in the dying process of the bag that resulted in the bag’s trademark, crinkled look. One afternoon, the dye overheated leaving the nylon crinkled – today this is the look that gives Kipling it’s unique look.
I love my Kipling crossbody bag. My mom sent it to me from overseas last year and I absolutely adore it. It’s casual and totally cool with it’s Monkey mascot charm.
If you own a Kipling or are familiar with the brand, you would no doubt have noticed the naughty-but-nice monkey. Did you know: each collection has its very own unique monkey that’s named after a Kipling employee somewhere in the world? How cool is that? There are also up to 80 unique monkeys each season making it a collectible cutie.
