Handbags

[InStitches49]

Just wondering which is best for your cost especially when it comes to wearability and lasting a long time without looking “ratty”.

I have/had both lug and Kipling bags, for me personally I like the Kipling bags better.  I have Kipling luggage going on 13 years, and it wears like iron, very sturdy zippers.  I only had one lug bag and I returned it, it felt cheap to me, but that’s my opinion, a lot of people love lug bags....

I've never had Lug but I have several Kiplings and they wear like iron and  their zippers are the best.

I never had a Lug bag but I have had a Kipling purse for several months and am pleased with it. The only problem I had is a piece of the lining got caught in the zipper and I had to make a small cut in the lining to get it out of the zipper.

I travel a lot and my Kiplings are the best - hardwearing, lightweight very easy to use from large bags to regular bags and crossbodies - I love mine.

If you are considering a handbag, I think Kipling is more refined.  Lug looks to me like miniature luggage.  I have never seen Lug fabric that I really liked.

I am a fan of Kipling.  I don't care for the plastic on the bottom of lug.

I have one Kipling, no Lug. I bought it on a whim about 8 months ago when I saw there was a new Kipling outlet store in our outlet mall.  It's a larger crossbody, I bought plain navy and it's wearing like iron. And you don't get the cute monkey on a Lug. Be careful with buying Kipling on QVC, especially "as is", as some reviewers say the croosbody straps or monkeys are missing.

Forgot to add,  I really wanted a lighter color metallic Kipling fabric but they told me that those are not machine washable like the regular fabric is.  The metallic is spot clean only. Just FYI.

I've never purchased Lug; they just don't appeal to me.  I have a few Kiplings and I would recommend them.
