If you’re planning to shop Kipling’s Black Friday sale this year, here’s everything I’ve gathered about what to expect in 2025. That includes the likely start dates, what kind of deals Kipling usually runs, how much you might save, and some real examples from last year.
Expected Start Date for the Black Friday 2025 Sale
If we go by Kipling’s past sale schedules, their 2025 Black Friday event is expected to begin at kipling.com on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 (that’s more than a week before Thanksgiving). Last year, the sale ran all the way through the long weekend, ending on late Sunday night.
How the Discounts Work
Kipling doesn’t usually put everything on sale, but they do offer pretty good markdowns on a wide selection of their bags and accessories. In 2024, they ran a 40% off promotion on select styles using the promo code FORTY. We don’t know yet if they’ll use the same code this year, but the discount level will likely be the same or very close.
Prices during the event typically start at around $24.99. That includes smaller items like pouches and pencil cases. Bags like crossbodies, totes, and backpacks are usually in the 25% to 40% off range, depending on the item.
Also, Kipling sometimes includes bundles or exclusive colors in the sale. Not all colors of the same bag will be discounted the same way, so it’s smart to click through the product pages to compare.
Specific Items That Were on Sale Last Year
