The reason Zuriya was printed at all, retiring now at 70% OFF

If you're the woman who quit apologizing for her own taste a long time ago, I wrote this for you. For years I dressed for the room. Neutral coat, quiet shoes, nothing anybody could comment on. I was good at it, and I was a little bored with myself. Then one morning I put on the loud gold earrings my aunt left me and wore them to work. Nothing happened. The world kept turning, the meeting ran long, the coffee was bad. I just felt more like ME, all day long. I started paying attention after that. The things I loved most were never the safest choices. They were the ones that sounded like me before I opened my mouth, the ones I would pick again on my most tired day of the year. As far as I can tell, that is what a printed bag was always for. A woman's own words on her arm, so she doesn't have to argue for them every morning. The Zuriya Mini Satchel says it plainly. The front reads "Be your own KIND OF beautiful". To me that line is a decision I already made years ago, printed where I can see it each time I reach in for my keys. Your own kind of beautiful might be gray locs and a red lip. It might be a shaved head and big hoops. Maybe it is the same short twist-out you've worn since college because you simply like it. The bag doesn't ask you to change any of it (my twist-out has opinions of its own anyway). It just agrees with you, out where you can see it. Now Afroyla is retiring EVERY printed bag. The Zuriya will never be made again and never restocked. When this print sells out, it is gone for good. I bought mine for the plainest reason there is. I wanted to carry what I already believe, on the bus, at my desk, in the checkout line. If those words have been yours for a long time, you know exactly what I mean. It's The Last Black Friday for the prints: every printed bag is 70% OFF. The Zuriya Mini Satchel is $26.99 (was $89.95), in Premium Vegan Leather. The price is low only because the prints are retiring, not because of overstock. Two bags in one order are both 70% off. Carry the words you already live by. Take your Zuriya home.
