Elie Tahari delivers the kind of bag that can happily take us from nine to five and beyond with this Beverly tote.
The weave calls to mind the Matelasse finish on the Miu Miu bags we’ve admired of late, but in dark denim it’s a little more casual. Just a little mind you, as the deep indigo shade wouldn’t look out of place in a club or most mid-range restaurants.
That chevron detailed weave is complemented by rich silvery chain handles. They look great, but I’m disappointed on a practical level. Denim centers to protect our shoulders would have made all the difference.
At least Elie Tahari brings function back into focus inside. This is an enormous tote, but the designer has exceeded my expectations on the practical front. Technophiles will love the four open pockets for gadgets. There’s also a zippered pocket for securely stashing valuables, and even a pen slot.
If Miu Miu’s Matelasse bags were beyond your budget, this Beverly tote is worth considering at just $398.
