Women's Arto Cross-Body Bag, Anthracite

I have several different Kipling bags including elysia, candy, tasmo, reth, Keefe (American exclusive) and Alvar. For a very long time the alvar was my favourite go to bag. Had so much space and organisation which suited me down to the ground as I like certain items in certain places I.e my purse in one section and phone in another. I do this so I dont spend 20 mins trying to find something when rummaging around a bag. The other main thing I liked about the Alvar was how slim it was against the body. I wear all my Kipling bags as across the body bags, first this was for ease when my children were toddlers as it meant I had both hands free but now I wear them that way as I use crutches to help me walk and a lot of the other styles of Kipling bags can be bulky and my crutch can hit them or vice versa when I'm walking. I was thinking about replacing my current Alvar as it had seen better days when I came across the Arto bag. I was surprised to see it was even flatter against the body than my beloved Alvar bag. I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with this bag. I chose it in active blue and I have to say it's a beautiful colour and the lining inside the bag is amazing, its cream with blue scripture writing. This bag is big enough to hold my Samsung s9 plus phone in either of the two front pockets with plenty of room left over. The main zip compartment at the top is a brilliant size and fits the matching Alia wallet/purse without any trouble. It of course has the key lanyard which is a God send for car keys etc. Has the usual slip pockets and another zip pocket in this compartment. It also has a zip compartment at the back in which I keep paperwork for hospitals etc in. I got this bag at a very good price of £35. Now that its here I would of gladly paid a lot more. Next time I'm looking for a replacement I will definitely buy another Arto. I think the Arto s may just be too small for my needs so I shall stick with the standard Arto

I love this brand is the best

Lots of pockets lots of space, yet lies flat against the body, so although it holds loads, it doesn’t seem or look overly big. Very pleased!

Buena calidad y buen diseño. Cómodo de llevar y de tamaño de acorde a mis preferencias.

Die Lieferung kam super schnell , innerhalb eines Tages -vielen Dank ! Ich habe schon einige Kipling Taschen , aber für den Herbst fehlte mir noch eine in der Trendfarbe oliv/khaki ! Die Größe ist optimal , gute Verarbeitung wie immer ! Einen Stern habe ich abgezogen , da die Farbe ( Jaded Green ) in der Abbildung etwas heller aussieht ! In Wirklichkeit ist die Tasche um einiges dunkler !
