Soft Shape, Sharp Details
Easygoing with an edge — the Zara’s sharp angles and lines contrast beautifully with its relaxed, boxy shape.

Infinite Possibilities
With its geometric pattern pieces that fit together like a puzzle, the Zara was designed to be customized. Make it your own with color-blocking, contrast stitching, embroidery, and other custom embellishments.

Designer-Inspired Look
The Zara was inspired by the iconic Loewe Puzzle collection — specifically the now-discontinued Puzzle Hobo Bag, with its slightly slouchier shape and larger foldover flap.

Sewing Machine Requirements

It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather or cotton canvas, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.
