FAQs

What material is the Kipling ART Medium Tote typically made from?

This tote is generally crafted from durable and lightweight polyester, a signature material for many Kipling bags, known for its resilience and ease of care.

Can I fit a laptop in this tote?

While the main compartment is spacious, its soft structure is best suited for smaller laptops or tablets. A 13-inch laptop might fit, but always check your device's dimensions against the bag's internal space for optimal fit, especially when the corners are zipped up.

How do I attach and adjust the shoulder strap?

Simply clip the strap's metal clasps onto the D-rings located on each side of the tote. To adjust the length, slide the buckle along the strap until you reach your desired fit for shoulder or crossbody wear.

Is the tote water-resistant?

Kipling totes, including this model, typically offer a degree of water resistance, meaning they can withstand light rain or splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

How should I clean my Kipling ART Medium Tote?

For best results, wipe the tote's exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or using harsh cleaning agents.

What is the purpose of the Kipling robot monkey?

The Kipling robot monkey is a fun and iconic charm that serves as a decorative element and a recognizable symbol of the Kipling brand. It's a collectible accessory often accompanying Kipling bags.

Can the shape of the bag be changed?

Yes, a key feature of the ART Medium Tote is its adjustable zip and stud fastening corners. You can zip them up for a more compact shape or unzip and secure the studs to expand the bag, altering its capacity and silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Strap detaches unexpectedly

Ensure both metal clasps are fully closed and securely attached to the D-rings on the tote. Double-check the clips' integrity.

Zipper feels stiff or is sticking

Gently rub a graphite pencil (pencil lead) along the teeth of the zipper. This can act as a lubricant and help the zipper slide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Bag appears too unstructured or 'slouchy'

Utilize the adjustable zip and stud fastenings on the corners. Zip them up and secure the studs to give the bag a more defined and structured appearance, even when partially empty.

Periodically check zippers and clasps to ensure they are functioning smoothly.
