In the past couple of years, there has been a shift in the fashion industry. The change can be attributed to our country’s current financial status, but the economy can’t be fully blamed. There has also been a surge of consumers searching for luxurious creativity and quality in items; in other words, originality. While Chanel and Louis Vutton are musts for any fashionista, they have become too common, not to mention expensive. The modern woman wants something that’s one-of-a-kind that won’t cost in the thousands.
One designer who meets that demand is Zara Terez Zimmerman. When she launched her self-titled handbag empire at the age of 22, Zimmerman envisioned chic, gorgeous and high-end quality merchandise that everyone can afford. Her passion for delivering exceptional bags doesn’t stop there. “I have created my line using a variety of imported leathers from around the globe, mixing textures and colors to represent the many different personalities of the consumer,” Zimmerman says regarding her collections.
Zimmerman’s handbags reflect her consumers and their varying moods throughout the day. Whether it’s for a day trip or evening excursion, her handbags complete the look with their signature touch: the interior lining of her products correlate to the exterior, adding a special tier of character. The best part is that the fashion savvy will save money (her fall season collection includes a pretty crinkled leather chain bag at only $230).
In today’s economy, every dollar counts. Why not save a few hundred—or thousand?
