I asked Mia her detail and received reply.

------------------------------
The dimensions are a bit larger being 12.5" w x 9" h x 3" d

It has the standard 2 slip pockets and single zip pocket on the inside of the bag. On the outside, there is a convenient slip pocket on the back and a secure zip pocket on the front. The front flap is secured with 2 hidden magnets. The strap is our standard 48" long and comes without the comfort pad.

This beauty holds a surprising amount and her classic lines make her chic and fun at the same time.

Thank you for the measurements and details. It sounds like a medium sized bag that is either hand held with the top handle or shoulder/crossbody.

New color in Monroe posted on FB/Instagram. This is another very limited color they did only in the enhanced Monroe. Love the color and wish they could get more.
What colors would you like to see offered for 2021? I would love to see a blush pink or tangerine orange.
what styles are you hoping Arayla creates for next year?

Teal green or blush pink:biggrin:
And I hope see Hepburn or Nightingale in them new color.
 
Why is Arayla shipping so expensive? $28 is a lot imo...
The bags are packed well and not crammed into flat rate boxes. I usually get them via USPS and know they use UPS too. I think they are shipped priority so arrive pretty quickly.
I have bought things from other places and shipping might be cheaper but it took over 2 weeks to get to me. Its worth asking about the shipping cost, though.

I am in Southern CA so they are not shipping very far to me. Priority Mail from them to me is like $8. I will email Mia and ask.

I was actually reimbursed for part of my shipping. It was explained that they charge actual shipping costs. If shipping is less than the $28 shipping charge, you are reimbursed. If the actual shipping is more than the $28, Arayla pays the difference. Higher shipping costs are typical of the larger bags, like full size Hepburn, but Arayla picks up the difference between actual cost and the shipping charge of $28. Many of the bags are actually shipped from Hawaii, even though they are manufactured in California.

All of the bags I've gotten have come to me from LA and they always ship them UPS even though USPS would be way cheaper. Perhaps they are not aware that they can ship Priority in a regular (non flat rate) box for less. They are having a social media shipping promo now though and I was refunded shipping using the promo.
