Elie Tahari takes patent leather from the dance floor to the shopping mall with the Rory Shopper.
The glossy black fabric is usually a glammed up affair, but I'm not sure it really works here. The shiny patent body doesn't look too difference at a glance from a common garbage bag. The fabric may be more luxurious than cheap plastic, but it really doesn't look like it.
This tacky exterior is dressed up by some chic tortoise-shell handles. This is a curious choice too. The look is flawlessly retro, but I'm sure they'd hurt my hands. Can you imagine carrying those handles if the Rory was full to the brim with bargain buys? Long, wide patent leather straps would have been much more user-friendly.
At least Elie Tahari gets it right inside. The generous interior can easily carry a full day's shopping. A cotton lining is a practical touch. I suppose Elie had to think of functionality at least once!
The Rory has a unique look, but ultimately the elements don't quite gel. If you're after a shopper to actually shop, this probably won't be it.

As these bags are old lines they’re a bit hard to find at the moment. While I can’t see any there right now, my best advice is to check eBay regularly to see what comes up.
