I don't have experience with the Pyper, but I am a fan of the Arla. It's a great option for a smaller, everyday bag, and even though it's pretty petite, it holds a fair amount. The pocket on the back is nice for keeping a phone for easy reach. I also like that's it's kind of in between the structured and softer styles. It's got more structure than most of the pebbled leather bags, but it's not as stiff as most of the saffiano leather options. The tassel is also a lovely detail. I'd definitely recommend the Arla.
They might do a red next month, I believe it's one of the colours for next month's collection.oh I LOVE Arla, but still looking for some review here. Arla is not that much discussed here, sadly... I wish they have it in red.
Thank you all, when I spoke to the store at Bicester they said the Pyper isn't a main line bag but the outlet version of the arla. The price is tempting especially with 20% off I'll let you know!They might do a red next month, I believe it's one of the colours for next month's collection.
I prefer the details on the Arla as well as the overall quality and style of the specialty bags. I'm definitely gonna have to check out the new collection next month. I wish it came in the Inkwell or Porcini, that would be cute!Thank you all, when I spoke to the store at Bicester they said the Pyper isn't a main line bag but the outlet version of the arla.

OMG, omg OMG!They might do a red next month, I believe it's one of the colours for next month's collection.
Camera bags by different designers usually have different features or touches to make it their own (ie: the Chanel Camera bag). The colours for next month (based on what my SA told me) are meant to include red, burnt orange, and a burgundy, so warm fall colours. I can't comment on the bags from Shop Bop because I've only ever bought from an actual Kate Spade store, we don't have many other options in Canada. I know authorized retailers like Nordstrom, Saks, and Holts sometimes have exclusive styles and colours though.OMG, omg OMG!
thanks for the intel! will definitely get it then. it's quite rare for a ca,era bag to have slip in pocket in the front, right?
PS i saw a merlot one in shopbop.com is it the red to appear next month? they also have it in porcini!

please do review once you received it. am also considering disco, but this is better for my walletHi did you end up getting the Arla? I just ordered one online and my local store didn't have it so I'm kind of anxious to see it. I really want a camera style bag but the only other one I've found cute are the ones from YSL and the Gucci Disco, both of which are very pricey!
