The unique gathered look of the Ashlee sets this Elie Tahari handbag apart from those other pleated purses.
Instead of ordinary straight pleats, the Ashlee features diagonal gathers which overlap in the center to create a truly original look. It’s definitely different, but the conservatively colored chocolate leather means the purse never looks too bold. That may disappoint girls looking to stand out in a crowd, but they shouldn’t fret. The Ashlee is also available in gold leather.
This oversized purse has just enough pockets to ensure it doesn’t become a black hole. The slip pouches are hand-stitched, and the zip pocket has a leather pull for easy access. It’s all lined with hardworking linen in taupe, the ideal shade for hiding tiny stains.
The chunky metal chain strap is too heavy for the Ashlee’s delicate design, but at least it has a leather center. While the style may be all wrong, the comfort when carrying makes it easy to forgive this little design flaw.
