Teddy Blake Size & Fit Guide 2026: What Really Fits in 9- to 15-Inch Bags

The bag looked generous on screen. Then Monday arrived: phone, keys, a sunglasses case, a slim wallet, a lip balm and a folded contract, and only half of them made it inside before the zipper started to argue.

Teddy Blake makes that mistake easy to avoid, because every listing prints height, depth, length and handle drop. Olivia Reviews pulled those numbers into one place, so you can pick an Italian-leather bag by inches instead of by hope.

Read the name first, then read the fine print

Teddy Blake names most of its bags by an approximate length: the Ava 9, 11 and 14; the Kim 9, 11 and 14; the Lola 10, 12 and 15. That number is a handy shortcut, but it is not the whole story. In many listings the height already includes the handle drop, so the Ava 9 is listed at 9.3 inches tall, and 2.6 inches of that is handle. Depth, which the listings mark as "w," quietly decides how much you can actually carry: the Kim 9 is just 3 inches deep, while the Lola Croco 15 stretches to 8 inches.

The same number can also describe very different shapes. The Kim Stampato 14 is long and low, 13.7 inches across but 10.2 inches tall before you count its 4.7-inch handle drop. The Ava 14 stands 14.1 inches tall with its handle included. If you tuck a bag under your arm, slide it onto a train seat or drop it into a larger tote, those differences matter far more than the name on the tag.

Ava 14	$660	14.1 in (incl. 4.5 in drop)	5 in	14 in	17–23 in
Lola Croco 15	$620	14.7 in (incl. 4.2 in drop)	8 in	15 in	17–23 in
Vera Low Dollarino 10	$545	6.5 in body, 14.3 in with handles	4.9 in	13.6 in (10 in also listed)	None listed; 7.8 in handle drop

Two patterns jump out. First, the Kim family is the only line here with a 35–47-inch adjustable strap, which leaves far more room to wear the bag low on the hip; the Ava, Lola, Bella and Gigi straps adjust from 17 to 23 inches, a shoulder-length range. Second, the Lola Croco 12 and Bella Croco 12 share identical listed measurements, so choosing between them comes down to silhouette and price rather than capacity. Before you settle on a size, see the current Teddy Blake deals so the price you compare is the price you pay.

Small (9 to 10 inches): carry less, look sharper

The small tier is for days when you want your hands free and your outline clean. The Ava 9 ($585) is a structured top-handle bag with a flap and toggle closure. Inside, the brand lists a central compartment, one interior zip pocket and one slide pocket, plus an exterior zip pocket on the outside. At 3.7 inches deep, think phone, cardholder, keys and a lipstick, not a water bottle.

The Kim Stampato 9 ($575) has almost the same outer footprint but an even slimmer 3-inch depth, an expandable central compartment and that longer 35–47-inch strap. If you mostly wear a small bag across the body, the strap range is the detail that should tip your decision.

The Lola Stampato 10 ($475) is the boxiest option and the deepest of the small bags at 4.5 inches. Its height is a compact 8.7 inches, including a short 1.8-inch handle drop, so it is made to be held by the double top handles or worn on its strap rather than hooked over a coat sleeve. The listing describes an expandable open-top central compartment, two side zipper pockets and a suede-lined interior, which gives a small bag a surprising amount of order.

Medium (11 to 12.5 inches): the everyday middle

Step up two inches in length and the bag changes character. The Lola Croco 12 ($540) adds 2 inches of depth over the Lola 10, reaching 6.5 inches, and its 4-inch handle drop is long enough to rest in the crook of your arm. Croco-embossed calfskin, gold-toned hardware, an expandable open-top compartment and one interior zipper pocket complete the listing.

The Bella Croco 12 ($500) shares those exact 13 by 6.5 by 12.5-inch numbers but takes a sharper, more structured shape, with two full-length side zipper pockets and sides that can be expanded for extra space, according to the brand. If you like a slimmer profile, the Ava 11 ($620) and Kim Stampato 11 ($605) both stand 12 inches tall with 4 to 4.5 inches of depth. They trade depth for height, which suits flat items better than bulky ones. Once you have narrowed it to one size, check today's Teddy Blake offers before checkout.

Large (13 to 15 inches): built for the full workday

The Lola Croco 15 ($620) is the roomiest bag in this guide: 15 inches long, 14.7 inches tall including a 4.2-inch handle drop, and a full 8 inches deep. For scale, a U.S. letter-size sheet measures 8.5 by 11 inches, so on paper the Lola 15's outer length leaves a few inches to spare around a folder laid flat. The listing notes an expandable open-top compartment, one interior zipper pocket and, on the black version, a black suede interior.

The Ava 14 ($660) suits someone who wants work-bag scale with more structure: 14.1 inches tall including a 4.5-inch handle drop, 5 inches deep and 14 inches long, with the same flap, toggle closure and exterior zip pocket as the smaller Ava. The Gigi Stampato 13 ($620) lands in between at 14 inches tall, 5.7 inches deep and 13.4 inches long, while the Kim Stampato 14 ($670) is the long, low option at 13.7 inches across and 10.2 inches tall.

The odd shape out: Vera Low Dollarino 10

Not every Teddy Blake bag slots neatly into small, medium or large. The Vera Low Dollarino 10 ($545) has a geometric, tapered body only 6.5 inches tall, rising to 14.3 inches with its handles. Its 7.8-inch handle drop is the longest among the bags in this guide, and that is what lets it ride comfortably under the arm. The listing gives two length figures, 13.6 and 10 inches, which reflects the tapered shape, and describes an expandable open-top compartment with two side zipper pockets in small-pebble Dollarino calf leather. No detachable strap is listed, so treat it as a shoulder-and-hand bag only.

A five-minute measuring routine before you buy

1. Edit your everyday load. Empty your current bag onto a table and keep only what you carry every single day.
2. Measure the biggest item. A wallet, glasses case or small pouch usually sets the minimum. Compare it with the length and depth columns above and leave about an inch of breathing room.
3. Check the handle drop you already like. Under 3 inches is a hand-carry bag; around 4 inches sits in the crook of the arm; the Vera Low's 7.8 inches goes over the shoulder.
4. Match the strap to how you carry. The 17–23-inch range sits at shoulder height for most people, while the Kim's 35–47-inch strap allows a much lower drop.
5. Scan the top of the listing. If it opens with "Final Sale," the size you choose is the size you keep.

Wrong size? Returns, exchanges and the final-sale catch

Teddy Blake's published policy accepts returns of unused products within 14 days of the delivery date shown on tracking, and exchanges within the same 14 days. You request either one by emailing customer care with your order number and reason; the bag should be unused, undamaged, with all accessories, ideally in its original box. The FAQ says returns are processed within 2 to 3 business days of arrival and refunded to the original payment method. U.S. returns are described as free, while international shipments do not receive a free return label.

The catch for size shoppers: some listings open with "Final Sale: No Exchanges, No Returns," and the FAQ states that final-sale items cannot be returned or exchanged for any reason. If you are torn between two sizes, choose a listing without that line.

Paying less without chasing expiring codes

Every bag in this guide clears the $199 free-shipping threshold on its own, so U.S. shoppers never need to pad an order. The site footer also invites you to sign up by email for "special offers, free giveaways, and once-in-a-lifetime deals," though no fixed discount is attached to the sign-up itself. Teddy Blake's TB+ membership is a separate route: according to the brand, it charges $49 a month that is converted to store credit, adds an extra 15% off sitewide and gives access to sales, with a 30-day free trial and the option to skip or cancel. It only makes sense if you expect to keep shopping there.

Because only one discount code works per order, the smart move is to compare today's Teddy Blake coupon codes and use the single strongest one. The payment icons on the site include major credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and Venmo. If your confirmation email shows a processing time, the brand explains that your bag is coming from Italy before it ships to you, and the charge is taken when the order is placed.
