Kipling TSV 25/3/16

There is a Kipling TSV on Friday 25th March :happy:

Just wondered if anyone has news of what this may be, as it is only next Friday, haven't bought a kipljng bag for ages from Q as get great bargains elsewhere, but just thought it may be something irresistible with perhaps a reduced Easter p and p, I can dream!

I've just bought a Kipling Shopper from Amazon it was just over £41 including P&P and it arrived within two days, on Q it was £72 plus nearly £6 P&P. No contest as far as I'm concerned.

I've bought cheaper from Kipling themselves for the same item! Kipling regularly reduce prices on seasonal colours and prints when they are clearing the decks for the next seasons colours and prints. Bigger sellers are reduced less than slower sellers, but you can get great reductions on items QVC are still selling at full price. QVC are disingenuous, because they never admit that when an item is stock that's being run out in the shops. And Kipling know what a reduction should be - 20% plus reductions, not some of the piffling amounts QVC cut prices by, and no sneaky bumping the price back up by the exorbitant P&P.

I wish they'd do something a bit depifferent from bags, done of the little pouches for instance. But I've had so many great deals from Amazon that it would take a lot to tempt me.

For me Kipling lost its way when Lorraine left umpteen years ago. There were far far more styles coming through, beautiful colours, even the prints were fresh and vibrant - (I still own a lovely lilac and white floral) - and they seemed to be made much better. In the last few years its been depressing prints and sludgy colours, similar design bags, and a lot more Velcro appearing on pockets instead of zips.

Sod the monkey, and made for QVC bags - its variety I want, but can only get it and cheaper elsewhere.

QVC are killing themselves in stages.

They demand the same thing over and over again, so you get bored.
They demand exclusives and get some truely vile prints (and if you're lucky you might get a good 'un among the horror prints).
They charge for postaga and make a token reduction in price on the item.

For now, they are managing to get away with it... but it won't work forever.

I have a small Kipling bag, I do not even like it that much but it is so light. I often go out for a walk and then do some shopping on my way home. It is so much easier to walk with a small light bag. Any ideas on what else I could buy?

I like this, a nice shape and no Velcro, had a nose on Q's German website, they always seem to have our Tsvs, and love it in the blue colour they do with no furry monkey (yay), I might actually buy this if it is a reasonable price and in some nice colours or prints, I don't like the print in the photos

I like the shape too, qvc Italy have different colours. I quite like their brown leaves print. But kipling have become so expensive, it would have to be a decent price for me to buy

Not my style, so my money is safe.

Took a look at the bag on the QVC Italy link and within half an hour had an email from them!! '(my first name) Tutto ciò che cerchi solo su QVC!' - Must be something to do with being logged into google?

Talk about Big Brother!!

My money is safe. This bag is far too big for me, and not really 'my cup of tea' either.

So far the 2 colours they're showing in the pics are horrible (IMO) so far my money is safe, thankfully :mysmilie_8:

Love the 3 zips ... Will still scan eBay for my Kipling though :clapping:

first Kipling TSV I've liked the look of for ages.... I haven't bought since I made the mistake of buying the Rayenne TSV with the Velcro flap that hangs open if there's anything more than my mobile phone in it.... what a waste of money that was!
So the style is good for me - it'll depend on the prints and price too..... but I might just be tempted..

I have several Kipling bags, but this won't be joining them, I like the ones I have, but I should like a slightly larger version of the small messenger style, which is about the size of the Delphine, I carry daily for everything! Maybe an inch bigger all round, no more. Currently, once I have my mobile, my travel card, my purse and card case in it, I can't get any more in it. I qhite like the raisin, but it's a bit clunky for me, any suggestions anyone?
