You are so right. My Neverull and my Speedy came flat as pancakes

I had the same experience: picked a bag from the display and took it to the register to pay. The clerk went in the back and got me another one, folded flat and in a plastic bag. I can’t imagine the expense of shipping all these bags stuffed full of paper like we get them at the department store. They won’t do it.

It's nylon - can't you just toss it in the dryer - low heat with a damp washcloth to steam out the wrinkles? It only takes about 5 min.

I've purchased a few at a Kipling retail store here in town, it's not an outlet store and they come folded in a plastic bag.  I hang them on something and if any creases don't come out in a day or two, I steam them out.  I don't know if the rose gold coating would be a problem steaming, but the nylon ones steam out just fine.   You might want to clal qvc or kipling just to be sure.  I love Kipling.

Excellent point regarding Louis Vuitton!  I think some would have a heart attack seeing LVs coming from "the back"..... 

Got my Rose Gold today and have it stuffed with rolled towels and hung up by the straps.  I'm also planning to steam the wrinkles slightly with my iron set on low with a wet (thin cotton) cheeze cloth.  If you try this please be careful.....

Wow, so LV bags costing well over $1000  are packaged and shipped in same way as a Kipling , $70.... ?  Wow, I didn’t know that.

Louis Vuitton are very carefully packaged in box lots, but they are "folded" flat for shipping in order to ship many of them in the least space.  Especially interesting are the Speedys (looks like a doctor's bag).  I purchased a limited edition Cerises (little Cherry faces) Speedy 25 and once I had it fully set up (with the piping "rolled out") I never folded it down again.  But the reference to it being packaged like a Kipling is only referring to the handbag being folded down, and the "folding" is very unique to the style....

I didn't get the TSV, but rather another. It came folded flat in a plastic bag. I filled it right away and all wrinkling worked its way out the first day. Love it btw. Very happy in spite of the price being a little high for nylon.

My bags take a beating anyway that's why I'm a kipling fan...retail tag on the TSV bags I got said 119$ so for a Kipling IMO the TSV was a pretty good deal even with shipping.

The abuse my Kiplings take is unbelievable and they hold up.
