KiplingKipling Women's Seoul Extra Large 17” Laptop Backpack, Durable, Roomy with Padded Shoulder Straps, Bag

Loaded with pockets, durable, easy to carry, very comfortable with lots of padding on the straps. It’s soft and durable and waterproof. Great value for the money. It’s big enough for clothing and a small purse- great carryon bag- fits under the seat.

Bought this for my daughter and she’s been using it every day. It fits her laptop, books, and all the random stuff she carries around. The straps are comfy and it doesn’t feel heavy even when it’s full. She likes the style too—simple but cute. It’s held up really well so far, so I’m happy with it.

I have owned a bag of this brand. It's gone everywhere, including overseas, and work, gym, grocery shopping etc. It is so light when empty but so sturdy. I bought this one because it is slightly bigger. It was only available in dark blue at a lesser price instead of black. Not disappointed the blue color is exactly as shown, deep and almost black. Some blues can be tacky especially when carried with different colored coats or jacket. Great purchase. By far, this item is one of items I use the most besides my toothbrush/soap. Perfect for city folks. Really like the special slot in the back for a laptop so it does not require taking out everything at the airport. Also, being in the back it cannot be easily taken by a pi ckpocket.

Love this backpack, large size and worthy.

My son has always had a Kipling - known for quality (straps, zippers) and durability. Very comfortable!

good color , good quality,

Great for traveling fits a lot and has a lot of pockets for storage love the design and durability

I love Kipling bags and it is the only name brand bag I buy. So I'm familiar with the quality of these.I received the XL backpack that seems authentic, but it isn't like in the photo. I've attached photos of my bag.The first big thing I noticed: there's no zippered laptop compartment in the back as shown. There is a small zipper on the top with a super-tiny pocket (think wallet, phone, passport or plane tickets... maybe not all depending on your phone and wallet size). There is an open pocket inside with some padding, however. But not easy access to the laptop, so I don't know how this is advertised as a laptop bag. Maybe it was a redesign because there's complaints about the zipper breaking? I can see that this will be stronger in the long run not having a zipper near the back straps.There is an additional unpadded pocket in the main compartment as well that isn't shown in the advertisement photos at all. Mine is beige where the photos show blue and no extra layers.The other difference is the pen/accessory pocket sewn in the front large compartment is also different than shown on my bag... Mine has one big pocket toward the back of the bag and a place for pens. No padded pocket up there nor a pocket on the front flap.Finally, the bottom corners are without lining like I expect from Kipling bags - so it is not reinforced precisely where backpacks usually get holes. There is lining on the bottom, but it doesn't extend all the ways to the corners. It seems odd and may shorten the life of the bag. It also diminishes protection of contents if anything hits the bottom corners. This is designed for clothes in the main compartment, not school books or binders with pointy corners.I'm not sure if I got a fake bag. The barcode had black lines through it, but the bag seems unused otherwise. The rubber monkey keychain is the same as with other bags.I'll give it a try as the size and weight are what I need (it should be perfect as a Spirit or Frontier personal item), but I will report back if the laptop is hard to access in transit. I am not using it to carry binders or school books so the corner weakness may or may not be an issue.I'll try to report back. This will either be a redesign for the better (for travel and non-school use), or will be a pain through TSA and trying to work on the plane.
