Personalisation has been a trend in fashion for some time now, prompting a rise in name-adorned necklaces, initial-embroidered scarves and beach bags brought to life with brightly coloured lettering. While getting something personalised often takes a little extra time and money, depending on where you go. Aspinal of London, for example, offers personalisation services on many of its bags and scarves for an additional £20 fee.

The latest name to step into the personalisation space is Zara, offering an affordable way to elevate the brand’s bestselling bags. For £3, you can add your initials onto a crossbody (£35.99), canvas bucket bag (£29.99) or a tote bag with compartments (£25.99), and it’s proving to be plenty popular. Simply add two initials (yours to those of a friend, relative, etc) at the checkout, choose from a selection of shades and you’re done. Remember, personalised pieces make for very thoughtful gifts as well.

Zara isn’t the only brand on the high street offering personalised products. Katie Loxton allows you to add three initials to everything from suitcases to pouches for £4.99, The Cambridge Satchel Company charges £7 per letter, and basket bag brand Rae Feather will hand paint your initials onto its baskets without any additional fee. We’ve listed some of our favourite high street personalised pieces below – just take your pick.
