New In: Zara Office City Bag



If you follow me on twitter you'll know I was gutted a week or so ago because this bag was out of stock. I seem to just literally buy whatever bags Kate buys, but when she showed this bag in one of her videos I inhaled sharply. It's perfect. It reminds me of the Chanel Executive Tote which I think is beautiful but this is a much more affordable option at £49.99. Now that is probably the most I've spent on a bag but I'm trying not to think about it too much. I am well aware I have a clear bag problem, specifically a Zara bag problem.

I needed a bag for Uni that would fit all my books and also my MacBook. So far this has delivered and it really is so beautifully made. I was a bit peeved because Zara offer free shipping on orders over £50 and so I was 1p short. I am also not a genius like Philippa and didn't think of adding something onto the order and then just returning it. *face palm* Either way I never regret paying for Zara shipping because it's just so good. They dispatch it the next day, send you a tracking number and keep you so updated! I ordered this on Friday (they e-mailed me saying it's back in stock. Oh deary me...) and it arrived on Monday. Brilliant or what?

Anyway, if you're looking for a very practical bag for school/college/Uni/work then this is perfect! It's very timeless and I'm just in LOVE! I was sceptical at first as it is pretty huge and quite heavy too but it's so functional that I can't bear to fault it. Do any of you have this bag? Are you thinking of buying it?

p.s. Eid Mubarak to my Muslim followers! <3 br="br" nbsp="nbsp">

  19. Just found out about the Chanel Executive Tote and fell in love with it!!! I'm soooo glad I fell upon your blog and found this dupe because I really dont have that much money to spend on a purse. I hope it's not too late to get this @ Zara. I was just wondering, are the handles on the Zara bag long enough for it to be worn on your shoulders?
