Here is the story behind Kipling bags:
Founded in 1987 with its name inspired by Rudyard Kipling, the author of "The Jungle Book". Headquartered in New York City with products developed and designed in Antwerp, Belgium.
Whenever you think of Kipling, you think of the monkey. Of course the brand name "Kipling" and Rudy Kipling's famous work "The Jungle Book" give Kipling the perfect connection. Monkeys are symbols of fun and adventure, so the monkey naturally became the brand's mascot. And not very much later, it became the monkey key ring. Every Kipling monkey is named after an employee from somewhere around the world. Every collection has its own unique monkey! The monkey has definitely become a collector's item for anyone who is fun-loving and young at heart.
Danielle and I have a lot of Kipling bags. We love them because they are so durable. I gave my best friends each a Kipling bag about two years ago and one of my friends Debbie is now hooked, every time we get together she has another Kipling bag.
