Zara Accessories: 20th Century Boy


Marc Bolan sang about a 20th Century Boy, Paul McCartney sang about jumping for joy in vintage; so we wanted to take you back in time with Zara's new range of travel accessories. Think steam trains, oxford spats and big fox fur coats; now let's get our hands on some vintage inspired arm candy:


First up at #1 is the classicly designed Trolley suitcase. At just £99.99 we can ignore the fact that it's 100% Polyurethane and concentrate on the gorgeous dark green body and brown corners and piping. It has a worn effect which sets conjures up images of a dapper gentleman jet-setting around the globe with his trusty suitcase. It's aesthetically pleasing aswell as practical as it is equipped with a pull up handle and wheels.

At #2 is the Vintage Backpack. It's 100% Buffalo Leather and in a glorious navy tone, and only £119. We love the simple stitching and thin front and back straps, and looks pretty similar to a Longchamp bag. Click here to get your hands on this piece.

In at #3 is a doctors style battered brown briefcase with gold buckle. We love the thick buckle on top and the distressed brown colour. It's 100% Polyurethane, which is a bit disappointing as it would've been even better in a soft leather - at £69.99 we can't complain too much. It's not the most practical of bags for work but if you don't mind carrying it, a sharp navy suit would look glorious with this. Find it here.

#4 is a seriously cool embossed briefcase. The coral colour is lacking in the majority of guy's style choices, and we know this piece would be the perfect start to a life with coral. Again, its polyurethane (although at first glance looks like Safiano leather) and at £39.99 it's a great price.
