Where can i find a Kipling bag?

Q. I'd like a new kipling backpack for school, but i can't find the right thing im looking for. Im looking for one of those messenger bag type bags, but i can't find any that seem really big. I need enough space for some textbooks and binders, & it needs one of those laptop compartments to store a laptop. Ive been looking around on ebay and i cant find anything. I live in the orlando, FL area. If anyone knows where i could find a kipling backpack like this in Orlando, or anywhere online, please give any suggestions. thank you so much! :)
