FAQs
What size laptop can fit in this backpack?
This backpack features a dedicated laptop compartment designed to securely fit devices up to 15 inches.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The Kipling Seoul Large Backpack is made from water-repellent polyester, which provides protection against light rain and spills. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to heavy downpours.
How do I clean my Kipling backpack?
For cleaning, we recommend spot cleaning with a soft cloth, cool water, and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or ironing to preserve the material and its water-repellent properties.
Does it have a place for a water bottle?
Yes, the backpack includes two elasticated open side pockets that are perfect for holding water bottles, compact umbrellas, or other items you need to access quickly.
What is the Kipling furry monkey for?
The Kipling furry monkey is a signature charm that comes with many Kipling bags. It's often used as a keyring or simply as a fun, decorative accessory that adds to the backpack's unique style.
Is this backpack suitable for adult use?
While the specific variant is listed for kids, its large size, 15-inch laptop compartment, and organizational features can make it suitable for lighter adult use, such as commuting or carrying essentials for casual outings, depending on individual preferences and needs.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the padded straps to ensure the backpack sits snugly against your back and the weight is evenly distributed across both shoulders. Avoid overloading the backpack beyond its intended capacity.
Items in the backpack are getting damp during light rain.
While the backpack is water repellent, it's not fully waterproof. Ensure all main compartment zippers are completely closed. For heavier rain, consider using an additional rain cover or storing sensitive electronics in waterproof pouches inside the backpack.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to close/open.
Check if any fabric or threads are caught in the zipper teeth and gently remove them. If stiffness persists, you can carefully apply a small amount of a zipper lubricant or a household wax (like a candle end) along the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
The backpack feels too bulky for the user.
This is a large backpack, designed for ample storage. If it feels too bulky, try to pack only essentials to reduce its profile, or consider if a smaller backpack size might be a better fit for your specific needs.

Care
To maintain your backpack's appearance and functionality:
- Cleaning: Due to its polyester material and water-repellent finish, it's recommended to spot clean any dirt or stains. Use a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the backpack to air dry completely after cleaning. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron, as this can damage the material and coatings.
- Water Repellency: While water repellent, it's not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect contents.
- Zippers: Keep zippers free of debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, gently clean the teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax stick) if needed.
- Storage: When not in use, store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
