It’s the buttery soft leather, the full rounded shape, and the surprising details which have me coveting this Trina handbag from Elie Tahari.
The luxurious leather is embellished with smart vertical seams near the top. This creates subtle pleats which add interest without overwhelming the design.
More than just a way to carry the purse, the braided rope handles add casual style with their knots encircling silver-tone loops. Anyone who’s suffered from the inconvenience of a broken strap will love the extra strength the plaited style provides.
The Trina follows the current trend for oversized bags, but the chic rounded shape ensures you’ll never look like a homeless person, or an Olsen twin, when you’re carrying it. What I love most about such spacious bags is that you never have to leave anything behind. Your wallet, cell phone, cosmetics bag, day planner, compact umbrella, and latest copy of Elle will all have a place inside. The walls are lined with several slip and zip pockets to keep things in order.
The conservative cream and brown shades may disappoint bolder fashionistas, but everyone should have at least one bag in these tones in their closet.
