Zara Terez keeps it simple with this convertible Mediano shoulder bag.
This purse reminds me of so many clutches from the Lauren Merkin stable, with its curved flap and soft, gently pleated body. But it’s given its own personality with a choice of exotic finishes. If you like a pop of color you’ll gravitate towards the croc-accented purses in cheery yellow or this pretty baby pink. The lizard embossed clutches are a bit more traditional in black and brown.
You might be wondering why Zara Terez calls the Mediano a shoulder bag when in the photo it so clearly looks like a clutch. However the designer has been a little sneaky, tucking a chain strap away inside. I’m thankful for this addition as the Mediano is quite sizable for a clutch. That means we can carry a bit more than usual on an evening out, but it also makes it a bit awkward to manage by hand.
Considering the Mediano’s simple exterior, I was surprised to see the sequin covered lining Zara Terez has tucked away inside. It’s a bit of fun, but also not very practical. It’s only a matter of time before these shiny discs come away from the fabric.
The Mediano is a fine evening accessory, but I’ve also got the feeling that I’ve seen it all before. I’d like to see a bit more imagination for my $290.
