I've seen many woven tote bags in my time, including several from the Elaine Turner stable, but none quite like this. The external pockets give it a striking structure which I find ...

Elaine Turner gets us beach ready with this casual Terah tote.

The Terah's canvas body is patterned with an earthy abstract print. We're used to seeing bold colors in such casual, summery handbags, so it's interesting to see something more subdued. I'm not sure I'm enamored ...

Elaine Turner clearly thought that her Bianca clutch was good enough to produce a second version, but rather than sticking with the way it was before, she has revamped it. Gone is the exotic exterior, replaced instead with a basket-weave body.

By changing the materials, the ...

Elaine Turner looks to appease women of all tastes with its Bianca clutch. There are several different Biancas to choose from, all with a very distinct evening look.

I think the pick of the bunch is this crocodile embossed purse. No one will think it's an ...

The time has come to buy a refreshing white bag for summer, and this Elaine Turner clutch is right on the money.

When done right, few things look as chic as a glossy patent leather purse. But I'm not sure Elaine Turner has done this sophisticated fabric any favors with the Tammy tote.

I always think patent leather works better for a more structured purse. It's not soft enough to slouch, so any folds ...

Elaine Turner is one of those designers whose style I can never seem to pin down. Just as I think the label is best at creating casual beach accessories I spot a bag like the Lainey which makes me change my mind.

Why should snake and crocodile get all the accolades? Elaine Turner serves up a different kind of exotic with its Madison Pouchette.

Of course, Elaine Turner doesn't dabble in genuine exotics. Instead it's merely embossed the leather with a tortoise-shell finish. The scales are large and irregular, giving the purse a contemporary ...

Green fashionistas are spoiled for choice these days, with cotton canvas, bamboo, straw, and vegan leather giving us plenty of alternatives to animal skins. Grasscloth may not have the profile of many other eco-friendly fabrics, but that makes bags like the Nicole so attractive.

The tightly woven cloth is crafted from several ...

It's difficult to resist the retro charms of this patent leather Leah purse from Elaine Turner.

It's called a minaudiere, but it's a lot sleeker than the other purses that share its name. While Judith Leiber and Kathrine Baumann cover theirs in jewels, this one is all polish and poise. ...
