About Kipling

Kipling was founded in 1987 in Antwerp, Belgium. The name was inspired by Rudyard Kipling, the author of "The Jungle Book." Kipling makes bags of all kinds; from large suitcases to a simple pencil case. These bags are stylish and functionable at the same time. They are usually rain-proof and now come in different prints. Kipling is headquartered in New York City and is a division of VF Sportswear, Inc for 7 years. The VF Sportswear Coalition includes the Nautica brand as well as Kipling. Kipling products are distributed in 55 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, South America, and the USA. The bags have been distributed in North America since 1993. 

Kipling bags usually have a monkey keychain attached. Whenever you think of Kipling, you think of he monkey. Of course he brand name and Rudyard's "The Jungle Book" give Kipling the perfect connection. Monkeys are symbols of fun and adventure, so he 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 the heart...

There are already Kipling addicts that own no less than 425 monkeys! 

                                    DID YOU KNOW???

• 23 Kipling bags are sold every minute, somewhere in the world
• More than 35 million people own at least one Kipling bag
• There are more Kipling bags than there are people in Belgium
