Kipling Lancelot Snap Front Shoulder Bag

I purchased the Kipling Lancelot Snap Front Shoulder Bag to use during my travels. The light interior makes looking for things in your bag easier. The front snap becomes annoying as you continually have to open and close it. For items I was frequently using I used the zippered compartment in the back of the bag.

The bag is lightweight and has three zippered compartments. The front compartment has compartments for your cell phone, glasses, a zippered compartment and a velcro compartment with two pen/pencils holders. Behind this first compartment is the second compartment which has a zippered pocket and a place to hook your keys.

I tended to use the zippered compartment in the back of the bag. I can't tell you how many phone calls I missed as I fumbled to open the front snap, unzip the compartment and locate the phone. I recommend this bag for traveling but wish there had been an outer pocket to put my phone in.

Greatest, most convenient, versatile bag ever...I haven't stopped using it since I got it about a month ago...it goes everywhere with me ...the pockets are great...

the only criticism I saw when I bought it in the reviews what that the front opened up too wide and things could fall out...this is really not true...it's completely manageable and easy to avoid any problems...

wonderful bag!!

I hate all the "fashionable" bags these days...this is comfortable with the long strap and I think it looks cool even if it's not hip!!

Overall I am very happy with this product. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 is because sometimes it seems like the number of zippers can be too cumbersome. It is great in that you won't lose anything from your purse, but to reach in for your cell phone, or keys, you have to unsnap and unzip, or at least unzip. The Kipling products are awesome, and there are plenty of styles to choose from. I just happend to choose a style that was a little "too" secure for my needs at times.

I'm a big fan of Kipling bags -- the Lancelot is the latest I've added to my collection. It's main purpose for me is to hold my Motorola Xoom and also function as a purse. I love it because it's compact, and the separate zippered pocket in the bag is roomy enough to hold my Xoom with space to spare. I've actually toted my Xoom and an iPad 1 at the same time with no problem.

All my regular purse contents are in the front zippered area, which has tons of pockets inside to help you keep your things organized.

This bag has a wider strap than other Kipling bags I have. At 1 1/2", it doesn't cut into my shoulder even with two tablets weighing it down. With the strap at its shortest, it feels snug over my shoulder and doesn't bounce around my side when walking. With the strap extended to be a cross-body bag, it also feels comfortable while walking.

The best part about it is that it's not a giant laptop bag and is much more stylish and functional than one. Even when you stuff it full, it looks compact and neat and everything is easy to access.

And, its water resistance and secure zippers along with the fastened flap give you peace of mind that everything is secure.

Side note: If you're looking at the dark blue one, you should know that there is a version of it without the contrast stitching, which you can find here if you search for "Kipling Lancelot" because it's not available from this particular link (as of the time I am writing this review).

The Kipling Lancelot snap front shoulder bag is a terrific every day bag. It has the perfect number of pockets to fit a cell phone, palm pilot, ipod and more. If strapped across your body, it is very light even when filled with personal items, e.g., books, makeup cases, etc. The zippers are easy to open and close and the bag looks "dress casual."

The bag is great, and the price was the cheapest I found, fast delivery!!! great for trips and daily use. It's a little smaller than you might expect but I love it!!! I got the all black one!!! and this is my 8th Kipling bag and they are so durable, my first one was purchase 12 years ago and it's just like new!!! If you are a casual person on the go this bag is the one for you!!!

I got hooked on Kipling bags when I found them in SE Asia. They were so inexpensive I'm guessing they enter the market there after "falling off the back of a truck." Bought them wherever I found them--never more than a few dollars. They will last forever, so well made--you can throw them in the washing machine and they come out looking new. But I really needed a blue purse, and not wanting to go to China or Vietnam or Laos to hunt one up, I shelled out big bucks for the Lancelot in a perfect deep blue. I appreciate the multiple zippers and multiple pockets and the fact that this bag makes heavy work for a pick-pocket. Most of the Kipling bags have multiple, sturdy zippers and pockets, and if you consistently organize your purse junk in the same places, you'll find that this forced organization makes for easy access and an absence of clutter.

I purchased this bag as a replacement for the same Kipling bag I purchased from a Kipling store that I'd lost, this bag has been slightly updated to include a better strap adjustment glide (now metal prior was plastic) and a strap with clip to attach keys to (now keeps keys secure and easy to locate inside the bag) There are several compartments inside for smaller items like wallet, mobile phone, ipod etc. Shipped very quickly at a great price. I'm pleased with this bag and I'm sure you will be too.

I bought this bag for traveling. It was a hit, I spent 5 weeks in Hawaii and used this purse every day. It holds every thing you need for every day use or on a trip, on my last trip I even had room for a book, snacks and water. I liked the bag so much that I just ordered another one in a different color. Best bag I have had in a long time. Thanks Kipling! Oh, the monkey is pretty cute also..............

This is great bag. It holds so much, and there are tons of pockets and places to put all your things. It is bigger than you might think, too. I highly recommend it if you like to stay organized and if you like monkeys!
