Doraemon x Kipling: New Collection In Singapore Including Handbags, Backpack, Mini Bags & More

If you grew up watching Doraemon cartoons, you’ve probably wished to own a magical pouch just like the robot cat’s handy 4D Pocket at some point. While it’s impossible to have such a small pouch with unlimited space in reality, Kipling’s new Doraemon collection in Singapore will certainly help you store and carry your essentials around in style, with various sizes for every need and occasion.

P.S.: Check out the new Doraemon exhibition that’s coming to Singapore from Japan real soon!

Comprising a total of 6 items, including handbags, backpacks, crossbody styles, and smaller items the Kipling Doraemon collection has navy blue as its base shade, accented with red, as an ode to the Japanese cartoon character.

#1: Kipling Doraemon Mini Art

The Kipling Doraemon Mini Art ($65) a “baby” version of the brand’s iconic tote bag, with an embroidery patch featuring Doraemon’s smiling face on the front. Measuring around just 12cm in length, this cute little pouch - which can serve as a card carrier - has a short metal link chain attached to it, allowing you to hook it to the inner compartments of your larger bags.

#2: Kipling Doraemon Delia

On the outside, the Kipling Doraemon Delia ($219) looks like a regular backpack, save for a Doraemon bell zipper ring and a subtle character applique, but open it up and you’re in for a fun surprise!

Apart from its roomy main body, this backpack has a front compartment as well as a smaller inner section so you can organise your items with ease.

#3: Kipling Doraemon Superfun

Prone to misplacing your phone? The Kipling Doraemon Superfun ($119) phone pouch with an adjustable red fabric strap will help keep it safe. Like the backpack, this has a cute keychain and embroidered Doraemon applique, along with a Doraemon-filled inner lining.

#4: Kipling Doraemon Gabbie Mini

Not too bulky yet of decent capacity, the Kipling Doraemon Gabbie Mini ($169) is an adjustable shoulder bag with multiple side compartments for convenient stashing.

Bucket bags are in and the Kipling Doraemon Labi ($189) is a versatile one that can be worn two ways. Carry it on both shoulders with the red straps, or grasp it in your hand via the detachable black leatherette strap.

#6: Kipling Doraemon New Hiphurray

Drawstring bags are thought of as super casual and in certain instances, even unpresentable, but the Kipling Doraemon New Hiphurray ($99) proves otherwise. The structured material of the bag coupled with the faux leather straps automatically gives it a fashionable edge, with a single Doraemon motif at the corner adding a dash of cuteness.
