About Kipling

The Kipling story is one of great passion, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. In 1987, three friends in the fashion capital of the world, Antwerp, decided that women needed high-quality bags that were iconic and chic and feminine and fashionable and… not boring! So they created a line of casual and colourful bags that were affordable, sporty and functional, packed with attitude but never serious or stuffy or stuck-up. In a word… FUN! They named the brand Kipling, after the well-known and well-travelled author Rudyard Kipling. Soon, their bags were part of the everyday adventures of women around the world.

Today, Kipling mascot monkeys, by far the world’s best-travelled primates, dangle from a full range of handbags, luggage, carry-alls, backpacks, kids watches, jewellery, etc. Trendy yet practical, upscale yet reasonably priced, durable yet daring, Kipling offers must-have accessories of over 35 million women and children in more than 60 countries. That’s some SERIOUS monkey business! Discover now Kipling’s amazingly fun kids watches and jewellery collection!
