Tianni serves up zips, zips, and more zips with the Elle Tote.
Vertical zippers decorate the front of this rectangular synthetic handbag. At first I thought they might have hidden a practical secret; some hidden pockets or expandable sections perhaps. But no, they’re merely an aesthetic detail designed to liven up the blue synthetic body. They do that, and do it well, but I can’t help feeling a twinge of disappointment that they’re just surface.
The Elle’s interior meets our expectations without exceeding them. It’s very generous, but the pockets do a decent job at helping us stay organized. They’re the stock standard really, a couple of open pouches and a zippered pocket too.
But for the money, perhaps we should be happy that Tianni’s not really skimping. The use of synthetic is a bit of a compromise of course, but it’s one we’ve grown to expect at this price point. At least it does a reasonable job of mimicking the real thing.
At $80, the Elle is an affordable everyday handbag. It might not inspire a lot of handbag envy, but it’ll certainly serve you well.
