BLOG FOR DESIGNER HANDBAGS

The Elie Tahari Beverly Braided Tote is one of those bags that has made me an ever-so-slightly better person than I was before I saw it, and that’s to its credit. Also to its credit: it braiding, handles, and overall look. One of the last interesting things that a designer can do with a handbag is play with the texture of leather in some way, and the plush braiding that makes up the body of this bag makes you want to touch it and put it on your shoulder, just to see how it would feel. This bag manages to be neutral without being boring and tactile without being fussy, and it’s not easy to strike either of those balances.
