Zara Tindall’s edit with Fairfax & Favor offers a closer look at her signature royal countryside aesthetic. Since becoming an official brand ambassador in March 2025, the King’s niece, 44, has worked closely with the Norfolk-based luxury label to spotlight pieces that feel both luxurious and practical.
Renowned for its craftsmanship and heritage-led design, the British brand has cultivated a loyal following over the past decade thanks to its investment-worthy accessories. Speaking with Marcus Fairfax, Zara explained: “For me, the first thing I look for in a quality product is really craftsmanship. It should look and feel great.”
Marcus Fairfax Fountaine echoed the sentiment, adding: “Working with Zara has always been a privilege. Her approach, her values, and her commitment to quality align so naturally with Fairfax & Favor, and we’re genuinely excited to continue our journey together into 2026.”
While the wider collection spans coats and footwear, handbags are among our favourite items for their versatility. From structured top-handle designs to relaxed crossbody silhouettes, each piece blends timeless design with everyday functionality. Made from either smooth leather or rich suede, the bags reflect Zara’s knack for choosing accessories that are refined yet ready for real life – whether worn at the races, on countryside outings, or for smarter engagements.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite handbags from Zara’s collaboration below.
One of our top picks from Zara’s handbag range is this smooth leather bag, which offers two ways to carry and style. The bag comes with a longer crossbody strap and a shorter top handle, so you can carry it as a traditional handbag.
The bag has a shield-shaped clasp, mirroring the brand logo, and, in addition to the main compartment, has an internal pocket for smaller items. It’s fairly compact, measuring 14 x 23 x 7cm, but has enough room for your essentials like a mobile phone and keys.
One shopper described the bag as “beautiful”, while another shared it was “lovely”, adding: “This bag is a lovely bag for summer events. I really like the fact that you can use it in two different ways, with the strap for over-the-shoulder use and the little handle.”
This tan crossbody is the kind of bag you can reach for every day, as it can be dressed up or down. Made from a luxurious mix of soft suede and pebbled leather, it has a countryside vibe while still being smart enough for dinners or evenings out.
The bag has contrasting textures, made from pebbled leather and suede, and has antique brass hardware. It has a chevron-shaped flap opening, with a removable and adjustable strap, which means you can wear it cross-body or as a handbag.
It sits within the wider Aviemore collection, which also includes other styles, including a timeless handbag option if you prefer something more structured.
A little black bag is a must-have for versatility, and this crossbody is a great bet. It isn’t huge, measuring 14 x 23 x 8cm, but is still big enough for your everyday essentials. The bag comes with a long strap, which means it can be worn both crossbody and over the shoulder.
Made from a smooth, structured leather, it has a clean, minimalist finish that instantly makes an outfit look more put-together.
The bag closed with a flap and fastens with gold-toned hardware. It also comes in a rich mahogany colour, though it’s currently out of stock. You can sign up to be notified as soon as it is available again.
