New Brand - Arayla Made in LA

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate

It is no secret that I have had issues with Arayla bags that I purchased and eventually sold all of them. But I decided to try again and get a pre loved Harlow from a friend. OH MY GOSH. THE ESPRESSO LEATHER. I don't think any Arayla I ever had was this beautiful. I had also forgotten how big the Harlow is; however, it is light and very easy to carry. And I ordinarily hate floppy hobo bags, but I remembered that the Harlow is easy to get into and easy to get things out of. So I want to give credit where credit is due. This bag with the rolled edges is a beauty.

There is no way to show the incredible beauty of the espresso leather. Think deep, dark, rich chocolate. And the way it feels is unlike any bag in my collection as far as being silky and soft. Butter leather is a good name for it.

If I ever try Arayla, the Harlow is the one I want!

That is so fudgy and gorgeous. I have an Austen bag in espresso leather and I know what you mean about the feel of it. I find it to be the perfect brown.

Looks like a totally different leather compared to my first gen bag. Love the colour!

I haven't carried this bag in ages and was reminded of how much I love this bag. I think it is the best hobo out there. the drape is perfect -- I love that the flat bottom of it helps give a little structure to the bag so that it does not turn into a black hole; plus. the leather is SO soft.View attachment 5066574View attachment 5066575,
I agree with you, my Harlow's are my favorite hobos, love everything about them!

I initially hesitated buying the Market Harlow but it turned out to be one of my most used bags. It's light, buttery soft, and very comfortable crossbody.

I love my Harlow Market too. I think I use it mostly because I love petting it. It is so soft and smooth- very relaxing to reach down and pet my bag. Kind of weird, but other bag lovers know what I mean.

I know what you both mean. I ended up cutting off the weight distributor which has allowed me to use it as a shoulder bag. I have gotten much more use out of it since.

New bag style and colors!
From FB and Instagram. Such a pretty color and looks to be in between regular and petite Harlow.
