My Green Leather Shopper Bag

Black and white or a blend of both are the cornerstones of my wardrobe–think a pair of black pants and a white T-shirt or a pair of black shoes. They're classic, chic, minimal and easy to style. But I also like to throw in a bit of colour, especially if it's my favourite colour–green!

So, when I spotted the green leather suede shopper bag on ZARA, I knew I had to have it! I've learned the hard way that if you spot something you love, you've got to grab it quickly before it's gone because that "out of stock" notification will likely appear faster than you can say, "Jack Robinson", which can be heart-wrenching!

When the bag arrived, I noticed it was flatter and smaller than I anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise. Though unlined, it felt soft and smooth, with a buttery texture.

It has two slim cords on either side adorned with silver and gold tassel hardware that can be tied to secure the contents. I noticed it accommodated everything when I started filling it with my on-the-go necessities. Everything found a home inside, from my paperback novel to my phone and card holder to my water bottle and compact camera. When I took them out, the bag still held its shape.

The bag is practical and stylish, perfect for daily commuting or running errands. Like the rest of my wardrobe, I'm pleased with this purchase.
