FAQs

What material is the Abanu M Crossbody Bag made from?

The bag is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to its lightweight feel and water-repellent properties.

Is this bag waterproof?

The bag is water repellent, meaning it offers protection against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy downpours for extended periods.

What are the dimensions of the bag?

The Kipling Abanu M Crossbody Bag measures 17cm in height, 24cm in width, and 9cm in depth.

How many compartments does the bag have?

It features two zipped main compartments, two inside pockets (one open, one zipped), one external back pocket, one external front pocket, and two pen pockets, offering extensive organization.

Can I fit a tablet in this bag?

It can typically accommodate a small tablet or e-reader. However, it is not designed for larger devices like standard laptops (e.g., 13-inch or larger).

What is the weight of the bag?

The bag is very lightweight, weighing approximately 0.3 kg (300 grams) when empty.

What is the 'robot monkey'?

The robot monkey is a signature Kipling charm that often accompanies their bags. It's an aesthetic addition and can be removed if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Bag feels too heavy or uncomfortable

Check the contents of your bag. Remove non-essential heavy items. Adjust the shoulder strap length to distribute weight more evenly across your body. Ensure it sits comfortably and securely.

Items are difficult to find inside the bag

Utilize the bag's multiple compartments. Dedicate specific pockets for different types of items (e.g., phone in front pocket, wallet in a main zipped compartment, pens in pen pockets). This structured approach will improve accessibility.

Bag appears dirty or stained

Wipe the affected area gently with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the recycled polyester material and water-repellent coating. Air dry thoroughly.

Shoulder strap keeps slipping

Ensure the adjustable buckle is firmly secured. If wearing over very smooth clothing, consider adjusting the strap to wear it higher on your body to create more friction or wearing it fully crossbody for better stability.
