KIVA Designs is simply the best!

by Peter Garrison

I have been using KIVA Designs for my choice of travel gear for over 10 years and I have never been disappointed. Their tag line of “Carry your world” is the essence and the mission of all the products they manufacture. Each bag that I have used has a great deal of function with well-designed pockets to separate my personal items for easy access. It takes the guesswork out of finding things after a long journey.

My all time favorite KIVA bag is the Giant Big Mouth Duffel for its large capacity, drop bottom compartment and ease of getting it through lots of foot traffic. It even performed extraordinary navigating through the uneven cobblestone streets of Nantucket on my way to a fabulous Bed & Breakfast inn. The wide mouth opening, an exclusive KIVA patent, makes it a cinch to find anything you need in a hurry. This bag is tough, durable and well constructed, capable of handling by the worst of baggage handlers.

For the past several years KIVA has expanded their trend setting line of bags into day totes, cutting edge computer bags and performance rolling luggage. And their lightweight and unique “Convertible” line, (slings, duffels, packs and totes) is terrific for kids and adults of all sizes. Further, KIVA has the licensing to manufacture the popular Rick Steves line of travel bags. In the ever evolving and competitive travel gear industry today, one cannot find the fusion of the science of materials, the art of design with the longevity of performance at such a comfortable price point.

As a testament to their pursuit of excellence, read what their lifetime warranty is: “Every KIVA product comes with our guarantee that it will be free from material and manufacturing defects for the life of the product. If such a defect should appear, we will repair or replace the product (at our option) free of charge.”

In short, I guess I would say I’m hooked for life!

The super strong mesh material collapses to almost nothing when not in use. Includes one large and two small cubes that easily fit into any piece of luggage you own.
