As we are pretty sure you will have heard by now, pop cultural icon and pink perfectionist Barbie has been reimagined for a new generation and we are here for it.

With the new Barbie movie now playing to delighted fans in cinemas throughout the UK, what could be better than bringing a bit of Barbie to your holiday luggage by simply switching up your accessories?

Eager to inject some fun into its popular bag brand, Kipling have released their very own range of Barbie-themed bags and the Barbie™ x Kipling collection is serving up Malibu magnificence at every turn.

Of all the eight Barbie-themed Kipling bags now available, one has us hooked as a holiday must-have for this year's summer season.

The ART M Barbie Art Medium Tote Bag is large enough to carry all your essentials, while still being pretty enough to never distract from your style.

Made from Kipling's signature crinkle nylon with a smooth, lacquered coating, the iconic Kipling ART design has been given a Malibu makeover in Barbie pink.

Measuring up at 58x32x20cm, the multi-use tote bag has a spacious design with lots of lovely pockets. With the zipper fully extended it may be just a tad too wide to officially meet the likes of easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 cabin bag requirements, but you might be able to change the size of the bag by tucking in the corner zips to create a smaller profile.

Pretty but also super practical, this piece has a dedicated trolley sleeve on the bag, meaning you can slip it over the handle of your rolling suitcase to create a Barbie-based travel system in an instant.

On the outside it's pink (did we mention that already) with off-white trim and a silicone logo, and the party continues on the inside with an internal lining featuring real doll graphics.

With a front zip pocket, internal slip pockets and a further secure internal zip pocket, the bag offers 29 litres of storage space and weighs just 0.50 kg when empty. It also features dual carry handles and a detachable should strap, making it easy to take everywhere with you.

But perhaps the most iconic feature of our new favourite Kipling travel bag is that it comes with its very own collectable Barbie key chain, happily dangling away on the front pocket for all the world to see.

Happy fans who have already treated themselves to the Barbie™ x Kipling collection ART M tote bag are delighted with their new arrival.

One shopper wrote: "Love this versatile big bag! Love the artwork on the inside as much as the one on the outside. Super happy with my purchase."

A second added "What a brilliant bag, lovely colour, practical for a flight bag. It is very [light] and holds lots. Love the lack of compartments, just one zip pocket inside. Plus it has a luggage sleeve. Perfect."

The Barbie™ x Kipling ART Medium Tote Bag is available now for £127 and can be purchased directly from the Kipling website.
