Our story
How we got our start?
Founded in 1987 by three European designers, Kipling combines quality, function and style to create the ideal accessory that enables you to express your true self, discover the unknown, power your curiosity, experience new places and live a lighter life.
What makes our product unique?
Kipling established itself as a global handbag brand by embodying a carefree spirit and pioneering the use of its signature crinkle nylon in expressive colors and patterns. Designing bags that are lightweight, stylish, and above all, functional, is our forte.
Why we love what we do?
Our mission is to bring out the light that we all have within. Live Light is our mantra. It is a mindset. We thoughtfully create lightweight bags with quality materials that make it possible for you to go explore and discover new places.
