New upscale brand from Zara outfit

Great news for fans of the Spanish brand Zara, who have launched a new, slightly more upscale clothing and accessories line. Not yet in the UK, I checked out their new brand Uterque on a recent trip to Barcelona. I was pleasantly surprised by the collection of well designed, reasonable quality clothes and accessories, which were priced pretty well too. Particularly impressive were the bags, ranging from totes, shoppers and day bags to natty little evening bags. The quality and dye of the leather used felt as though it should be carrying a hefty price tag, but didn't. Contemporary takes on classic seventies and forties designs lent the pieces a sense of longevity that would ensure you get good value out of your purchases. I'll look forward to seeing Uterque on these shores, hopefully sometime soon.
