Hi guys!

So I was scouting around Primark for a new bag, I've been looking for a sort of businessy type of bag, that I could use for a potential job and job interview since I've been applying for loads of apprenticeships lately.

I spotted this bad boy in the corner of the Kings Lynn store and my face just lit up, I called my mum over and I was like 'IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THAT ZARA BAG I SHOWED YOU THE OTHER DAY JNWFSNDJNS' so I bought it. 

It's the perfect size, it's a little bit smaller than the Zara Office City Bag, but that's good, that bag seems like a bit of a monster to lug around with you all the time. Primark, bless them, they tried really hard to recreate the look of the Saffiano leather which is what the exterior of the Zara bag is made of, but it definitely looks nice nevertheless.

The bag itself is a bit less structured compared to the Zara bag, which I quite like as it stretches more so you can shove more things in it, haha. The two outer zip compartments are not padded like the Zara bag, but can still definitely be used to keep your iPad in there as the lining inside is a thick material, but not quite padded. You couldn't keep a full sized laptop in the zip compartments, maybe a netbook but not a laptop, you can definitely fit a 13-15inch laptop in the main compartment though.

Inside the bag, is a small zip compartment, where you could keep loose change or receipts and on the other side is a phone pocket (I did not picture that well at all, haha) I always keep my phone on me when I'm out and about anyway so to me, a phone pocket is useless.

The inside lining is a dark grey speckled cloth type material, which is the only way I can describe it, haha.

The bag also comes with a long, completely adjustable shoulder strap which you can easily unclip from the sides and keep in the bag for easy access. One thing I would like to point out about the handles on this bag... So squeaky. And I'm not even sure why, I'm sure that won't be much of a problem once I've used the bag a bit more, but every one of this style of bag that I tried in the shop, they all had squeaky handles, and it was doing my head in, haha!

The handles on the front and back of the bag are quite short, so you might not even be able to hold the bag on the crook of your arm, the handles are the perfect length to hold in your hand though. (Although it can make you look like you're going to work as a lawyer, but hey ho!) 

I most definitely adore this bag and the only bad thing I can say about it is the squeaky handles, haha! For a meer £12, you cannot go wrong. And for £12, it's easily replaceable if something does ever go wrong with it.

Well done, Primark! You've made one heck of a dupe here.
