So after what seemed like an eternity of fruitless searching I FINALLY tracked down the infamous Zara Office City Bag- the supposed holy grail of Prada/Chanel tote dupes. I fell in love with this bag after seeing it on countless bloggers and celebrities and just knew I had to have it! However, fate was not on my side and it was temporarily out of stock- heart=broken. But you can imagine my joy a few days later when I got the email telling me it was back in stock- I literally fell off my bed and ran to get my card! But it seems at this point any bad karma I built up over the years took it out on me having this god damn bag and the order wouldn't process.. WOT? Has anyone else had this problem with Zara? I tried to call their customer helpline but was told I would be charged and ain't nobody got time for that. So understandably I was fuuuuming because before I knew it, it was out of stock AGAIN. Anyway skip forward a bit- when it seemed like all hope was lost- a miracle happened. Seriously, it's up there with some of the ones in the holy bible; I was out shopping with my mum and decided to make a last ditch attempt to find this bag in Zara.. Straight away I was pretty pessimistic but my mum- who had also been dragged into this search for the Office City Bag holy grail- wouldn't give up and next thing I know she has found it! I literally slow-mo ran towards her and we basically exchanged a three-way bag/mother/daughter hug (seriously).
REVIEW
The main reasons I'm obsessed with this bag are:
- Its amazing storage- it has 3 main zip compartments along with 2 poppered ones with amazing small additional compartments for your phone, iPad, credit cards and so on.
- The middle compartment is padded so it would be ideal for carrying any laptop safely and comfortably and there is another smaller padded pocket that can fit any tablet/kindle/iPad.
- It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap with a support pad which is always handy.
- It's large size. Seriously, you will not be short of room EVER with this bag.
- You just can't not adore the cross hatched leather, gold metal detailing and the gorgeous burgundy lining.
The bag is currently in stock in Zara- hopefully they've sorted their problems out now: http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-neu-S2013/358019/1098567/OFFICE%20CITY%20BAG

ReplyDeleteI didn't have trouble processing it but while it was in my shopping bag, and I was looking for other items, when I finally went to buy it, it said it was out of stock! Was just gutted! But finally got it again and spent no time on getting to the checkout!
It's amazing isn't it?! Only just worked up the courage to take it out! Ah glad it wasn't just me, Zara needs to sort that out asap! Was very annoying!
