FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Kipling Abanu Multi bag?

The bag measures 13 cm (Height) x 19 cm (Width) x 8 cm (Depth) and weighs 0.27 kg.

Is this bag suitable for men?

While listed under female gender, its versatile design and practical functionality can be appreciated by anyone who prefers a compact bag for essentials.

Can I fit a small tablet or e-reader in this bag?

Given its 'mini' size and dimensions, it is unlikely to fit most small tablets or e-readers. It's best suited for phones, keys, and wallets.

How do I clean the Kipling Abanu Multi bag?

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap for stains. Air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Is the shoulder strap truly removable?

Yes, the shoulder strap features metal clips on both ends, allowing it to be fully removed for conversion into a bum bag or if you prefer to carry it by hand.

Is the bag waterproof?

The bag is made from water-repellent polyamide, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What material is the bag made from?

The Kipling Abanu Multi bag is constructed from 100% polyamide, which contributes to its durability and lightweight nature.

Troubleshooting

My bag feels too small to fit my items.

The Abanu Multi is designed for essentials. Review your items and prioritize what you truly need. Consider using a smaller wallet or cardholder instead of a bulky one.

The shoulder strap feels uncomfortable or keeps slipping.

Ensure the strap is properly adjusted to your body. Experiment with different lengths for crossbody and shoulder wear. A snugger fit often prevents slipping.

My belongings got damp inside after being in light rain.

While water-repellent, the bag is not waterproof. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. For heavier rain, consider additional protection for sensitive items or choose a fully waterproof bag.

The zippers are sticking or difficult to move.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth to help them glide more smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile, offering two carrying styles (crossbody and bum bag).
  • Excellent internal organization despite its compact size with multiple pockets.
  • Lightweight design prevents added strain during wear.
  • Water-repellent material protects contents from light moisture.
  • Adjustable and removable strap enhances comfort and adaptability.
  • Durable polyamide construction for everyday use.

Cons

  • Limited capacity, only suitable for essentials like keys, phone, and cash.
  • May be too small for users who need to carry larger items or multiple accessories.
  • The mini size might not appeal to those preferring larger bags for daily use.
  • No specific padded compartment for delicate electronics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Adjusting the Shoulder Strap: Locate the buckle on the strap. Slide the strap through the buckle to shorten or lengthen it until you achieve a comfortable fit for either crossbody or over-the-shoulder wear.
  2. Converting to a Bum Bag: Shorten the shoulder strap significantly. Fasten the strap around your waist or hips. For a more traditional bum bag look, you may need to secure the excess strap or tuck it in.
  3. Removing the Shoulder Strap: Use the metal clips at each end of the strap to detach it from the D-rings on the bag if you wish to carry it by hand or use it solely as a bum bag without the extra length.

Compatibility

This bag is designed for essentials only. It comfortably fits:

  • Most smartphones (check dimensions against 13 H x 19 W x 8 D cm).
  • A small wallet or card holder.
  • Keys (can be clipped to the internal key fob).
  • Cash, coins.
  • Small personal items like lip balm, compact mirror, or hand sanitizer.

It is not compatible with larger items such as tablets, water bottles, full-sized books, or large cameras.

Care Instructions

Given its 100% polyamide material and water-repellent finish:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Air Dry: Allow the bag to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat.
  • Avoid Submersion: While water-repellent, the bag is not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging it in water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
