About the Designer
Zara Terez
Designer Zara Zimmerman’s vision to break through the fashion barriers of outrageously priced, look-alike “it bags,” inspired the line Zara Terez. Zara Terez is a collection of chic and original designs that flaunt expressive style and personality.
With a focus on quality and superior craftsmanship, the Zara Terez handbag collection is a tangible luxury for fashionable girls and women who want to showcase their individuality through eye-catching, yet practical accessories. Zara Terez offers unique silhouettes in a variety of supple leathers and materials. With the idea in mind that a bag’s interior is equally important to the exterior, Zara’s signature eye-catching linings boast whimsical prints—making each style head-turning, both inside and out.
A third-generation designer, Zara draws inspiration from her parents, who own a successful apparel business, and her Great-Aunt, Ruth Saltz, also a handbag designer. At just 22, Zara launched the Zara Terez collection in Fall 2008.
New York is the driving influence behind each design, from Zara’s surfer-chic Atlantic Beach hometown to her current home in Manhattan, each style in the collection pays homage to a different neighborhood of NYC’s five boroughs. Each individual bag reflects its character through silhouette, an eclectic mix of textures, and thoughtfully placed details.
