The bag measures 6-½”(W) x 8”(H) x 4”(D). The item is designed to be carried by hand or worn on the back similar to a backpack. The items will be imported and sold at retail sale together as a set and will be classified accordingly. The handbag will impart the essential character of the set. Your sample is being returned as requested.
