Could the Zara personalised bag collection be the answer for achieving that high-end handbag look on a budget? We think yes.
For years, personalising handbags with your name or initials has been largely the domain of luxury fashion houses. Louis Vuitton has allowed customers to personalise their products with initials and customised details, adding an elevated and bespoke finish. However, now, the high street has an equivalent.
The Zara personalised bag collection has recently made this concept accessible to shoppers on a budget, and we're seriously impressed. Some of these handbags could even be considered some of the best designer lookalikes, with silhouettes reflecting styles from brands such as The Row, Loewe and Totême.
Zara's personalised range features a variety of on-trend styles, all of them fulfilling that aspirational, 'quiet luxury' aesthetic that's seen a huge rise in the passing seasons. There are raffia totes – ideal for warm-weather styling, faux-leather bucket bags and everyday crossbody designs that are both functional and fashion-forward. And for an extra £3 you can add your initials to each style.

One of my personal favourites, this raffia-effect tote bag feels sophisticated enough for almost any occasion, from the beach to evenings out. It has unique metal detailing on the sides and a purse with removable pockets too.
With a spacious design this tote bag will become your new go-to accessory. Add this handbag as a finishing touch to a tailored office outfit or wear on the weekends with laid-back denim and your best white trainers.
This bag features rich burgundy detailing and a removable shoulder strap. With just enough room for your essentials, it will see you through the season in style. Simply add your initials for the ultimate personalised touch.
With a similar design and shape to the Chloe Marcie Bag, this crossbody bag looks as though it should have a designer price tag too. It comes in a deep burgundy shade as well as this gorgeous dark tan, and you can personalise the canvas strap with various coloured fonts.
During the warmer season, this woven mini handbag will pair perfectly with one of best wedding guest dresses and some open-toe heels. For easy, everyday wear use the detachable strap to keep your belongings safe and secure.
If you're looking for a bag to wear all year round, this burgundy bucket bag should be a top contender. With the added gold initials and the rich hue you'll have plenty of admirers assuming that it's designer.
The Zara customised bag collection not only offers luxury-style bags at accessible price points, but it also elevates the shopping experience into something much more considered and personal. I've always loved the idea of owning a bag with my own initials on it, but until now, it's been way out of my budget. This collection turns a quick high street shop into something a bit more thoughtful and special, which I'm all for.
