Anyone use a Kipling crossbody bag at the parks? If so which style?

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

I never seem to hear about people using Kipling bags at the parks.
I always read about Vera Bradley which is generally what I use and Baggallini which I don't really care for because I don't like the silky seat belt material. It slides around and rubs on my neck.
I used a knockoff Kipling for my DLR trip in late June and I really liked it.
I just wish the zipper pockets had a slightly different configuration.
I saw an actual Kipling that I liked the configuration of and I'm considering buying it for my WDW trip coming up in a few weeks.
So just wanted to hear from others that use Kipling in the parks to see how you like it as a park bag?

I don't have a Kipling bag, but last year I bought a cute cross body bag off Etsy that I use only at Disney and it held everything I needed, plus I was able to pick the design I wanted.

I love my Kipling Alvar extra small crossbody. I don't have to worry about it drying or my contents getting wet.

I have just picked up a Kipling specifically for this WDW trip, I think it's Sally. One main compartment with a single zip on the outside and two small slip pockets on the side perfect for water bottles. I spend to much time rummaging with the multiple zip versions.
I like the bag because it's very light and appears just large enough that I can carry plenty but not be a pack animal.
I'll report back after the trip.

I am looking for yet another bag for my trip in october. Are the kiplings lightweight? I have two Vera Bradley crossbody bags and they get so heavy and hurt my neck.

I want to go bagless so bad but I can't because of my medication and sunscreen I have to have.

Like I had said in my OP I have not actually bought a Kipling but I have the knock off version and someone that went to DL with me had an actual Kipling and it seemed to be exactly the same as mine. They are made of nylon and are very very light weight and water resistant with a thick strap that is more grippy vs silky so I found that it stayed in place very well.
I generally have used Vera Bradley hipster in the past and I definitely think the knock off kipling was more comfortable to wear overall all day.
I looked at soooo many Kipling bag styles but could not find the exact sizing I wanted so I ended up buying the knock off version in a different style than I had purchased before because I wanted something that was just slightly bigger.
I'll receive it within the next couple of days and decide then if I want to take the new one or the one I already have.

Kiplings are incredibly lightweight...actually everything that Queen of the WDW Scene said above. I have a LeSportsac for my daily commuting bag and have become a convert to the light weight bag. My go to park bag used to be a Fossil canvas messenger style crossbody but the bag itself weighs 1.5 lbs, which doesn't seem like much until you start adding stuff to it.
I'm fortunate in that I have a Kipling outlet nearby so I got to test drive a bunch of bags to see where they fell, how far they stuck out when full, etc.
I have also noticed that the strap on the kipling stays put even if it's on my shoulder.

I do use one. Kipling bags are known for their practicality and lightness, making them great for everyday use. If you're worried about style, consider exploring the ysl crossbody bag at SL Trend Shop. They offer a stunning range of replica bags, blending luxury with affordability. Whether you prefer classic styles like the Sac De Jour or trendy options like the Niki, there's something for everyone. A YSL bag could elevate your outfit while keeping you stylish!

I’ve used a Kipling Alvar. It’s a little bigger than I need now but great for taking a wand to Universal. Very lightweight. I also think it’s more comfortable than Vera Bradley to carry all day, plus it’s water resistant.

I bought a Kipling Silen at Marshalls for $30. It worked great for my recent vacation. I don't see it on the Marshalls site, but they have it at Sierra. https://www.sierra.com/kipling-silen-crossbody-bag-for-women~p~3yfut
