Why you really shouldn't be without a Kipling Garan bag

The Kipling Garan bag is just so useful for the modern girl about town. Sure, it makes a great bag for stowing shopping or books from class. Yet it also has an iPod pocket, meaning that you can rock out to your favourite tunes with a convenient place for your music collection. There's even a mobile phone section.

You can keep your keys safe on the hanger. What's more, there's a small zipped pocket for essentials like mints. In other words, it has space for all the things you can't live without, so your pockets won't bulge and ruin your look. The Kipling Garan bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap, too. That saves your back big time, and you'll also find the crinkle nylon fabric light to carry, unlike some leather bags.

But let's talk colour for a moment. There's a style to suit anyone in the Kipling Garan bag range, from Classic Black to Funky Monkey Mania, the latter a print with multicoloured primates. What is it with Kipling and monkeys? At any rate, each bag comes with a cute monkey on a key-ring that's sure to be a talking point with friends. They're so collectible, everyone will want one.

A Kipling Garan bag is great for the budding student. It has three compartments for pens, and a spacious main area for bundles of books. The shoulder strap lets you slide it off easily to sit down. It also means there's no awkward slotting your arms through backpack straps every hour or so. Moreover, you won't make a huge noise opening it in class. The Velcro fastening offers a 'pull once and done' sound rather than a long slow zip noise, if you need to get at something while the teacher is talking.

The Kipling Garan bag, an essential of the student wardrobe, is part of the new collection. So if you like what you see, make sure you check out the other great Kipling bags that are available right now. After all, you might want a handbag for going to the cinema, and luggage for trekking off on your holidays.

Of course, Kipling handbags, luggage and backpacks do come with a free monkey. You'll know you're hooked if you get the whole lot just for the key-rings - even if there are a few more reasons than that to get a Kipling Garan bag!

A little look at the current range of Kipling accessories

Kipling has become a truly iconic brand over the last 20 years, and as an authorised retailer of its bags since the Antwerp brand first launched in the UK, RTherapy (http://www.rtherapyclothing.co.uk) has long been at the forefront of that rise to prominence. Of course, Kipling handbags have partly acquired such a sought-after status on the basis of their exceptional style, durability and functionality - but the brand also owes much of its sense of fun and adventure to its similarly in-demand accessories.

As you'd imagine, we have plenty of those accessories here at RTherapy, not least among which are the legendary Kipling monkey key rings. There's one attached to each Kipling bag UK, and they're highly collectable - indeed, we even managed to find someone with 425 of them! But fans of the monkeys will also be delighted to know that they can be purchased separately to customise a Kipling bag. So why not help yourself to another one - or seven - this winter? They include the lovely Fur Coat Monkey, Fur Hat Monkey, Games Monkey and more. Yes, before you ask, each Games Monkey does come with its own little medal around its neck, in true tribute to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

But there's so much more to discover in a vast current Kipling accessories collection, including the Iaka Combo, a set of three different sized Kipling pouches, while we also now offer a cool protective skin for the iPhone 5. Or why not pick up the Kari, a large pouch combining a large compartment for notes with two open compartments, a clipped keycord and - naturally - the essential furry monkey key ring? New additions to the accessories range for fall 2013 even include a leather bracelet, made from premium leather and also featuring a shiny Kipling logo. Its adjustable strap ensures a comfortable fit, making it a great final touch to your look, at any time of year.

But if you're looking for something closer to what you normally associate with this brand, it's difficult to look past the Kipling Creativity purse. Available in all manner of sizes and colours, it's the perfect way of holding your passport, keys, money and other smaller items within your larger Kipling handbag, thanks to its zipped closure, main compartment with three gussets and zipped inside pocket.

It doesn't matter whether you're buying a gift for a friend or relative, or are instead simply treating yourself. If you're looking for that little something extra, you really can't beat RTherapy (http://www.rtherapyclothing.co.uk), with our extensive Kipling accessories range brilliantly complementing our existing highly rated selection of cheap Kipling bags. It could be our Kipling-styled A5 or A6 notebooks that catch your eye, our nylon pen cases, or perhaps the very attractive Brownie wallet. Whatever you choose, we'll offer it at the best price and ensure that it reaches your front door without delay.
