Looking for the best Zara bags to add to your wardrobe? Look no further. I’m sharing the eight most beautiful choices in Zara stores now so you can save your precious time sifting through their vast selection. Many of the handbags on our list look way more expensive than they actually are, and if you’re a fan of Prada arm candy, I think you’ll like these too.
Zara is the crème de la crème of the high street. From their undeniably chic coats to their stunning shoes, it’s hard not to find something you love when you step into the store. For those on a tight budget, I always recommend the brand for updating your wardrobe. It’s not exactly a secret that many of the high street brand’s are inspired by designer fashion.
Amongst some of the best handbags I found in Zara recently is a stunning rhinestone-covered shoulder bag that’s giving serious Y2K vibes, as well as a beautiful shoulder bag with buckle details that’s reminiscent of Prada’s viral Moon bag but of course, way cheaper. If you’re after more modern silhouettes, there’s plenty of choice too. Think sleek leather shopper bags, structured crossbody bags and a dupe for COS’ quilted mini bag too.
Take a closer look at my edit, below. Next, read about the biggest bag trends for 2024 and check out these amazing dupes for Loewe’s Puzzle bag.

Zara bags FAQs
Should you invest in a Zara bag? Below, I’m answering all your burning questions about the brand’s handbag selection.
Are Zara handbags good quality?
Zara is a high street, fast fashion brand, so if you’re looking for a handbag to last you forever, you might want to spend a little more. While Zara’s bags are really cute, they’re prone to breaking and if you don’t keep the receipt you may lose your money. That’s what happened to me recently anyway. I tried taking my Zara bag back to the store when the handle snapped and there was nothing they could do as I hadn’t kept the receipt.
Is Zara a high end brand?
Zara is a fast fashion brand, inspired by high end designs. It’s not high end per se, but you’ll find many pieces that look much more expensive than they really are.
What are the cons of Zara?
As a fast fashion brand, Zara mass produces garments, which negatively impacts the environment and leads to an excess of clothing going into landfill. If you’re looking to shop guilt free, you might want to check out these sustainable brands like Zara.
