Elie Tahari Mira Pleated Leather Tote
I would like to introduce you ladies to a designer named Elie Tahari. He is famous for his luxury ready-to-wear line and has been in the business of fashion since the 1970′s. It wasn’t until recently, however, that the New York-based designer added handbags to his collection. His designs are very modern and sophisticated, while still maintaining a sense of timelessness about them. Up until this point though, Elie Tahari bags didn’t really call to me. Perhaps they just don’t stand out enough? I don’t know. But all that flew out the window when my eyes landed on the Elie Tahari Mira Pleated Leather Tote.
Wow! This gorgeous piece features both origami-like pleats and ruffles. Talk about architectural elements making their way into a handbag’s design! I love the look of structured, diagonal lines on an unstructured shape. It really gives this bag a unique and intriguing look. Plus the ruffles in the center are simply to die for! They add just the right amount of interest and they create a focal point to which your eyes can be drawn. This bag has such a luxurious feeling and it is definitely an investment piece. But it would also make a great everyday style, providing you with something you can cherish for many years!

When did Elie Tahara start making bags?
I believe it was in 2006, so not too long ago. =)
I wonder how this bag looks on. It looks nice in the picture, but we all know in real life it might be much different. Loving the rum shade!
This bag is fabulous!!! I love the black version.
A bit expensive if you ask me.
I have a couple piece of clothing by this designer, and I had no idea that she made handbags. I’m going to have to go check this out.
The brown one is really lovely. I can see myself wearing that with like so many different outfits. Such a great color.
Pretty.
I’m not very familiar with this designer but the bags are wow. I’m absolutely in love with the black one. I think it’s time to go shopping again. :)
I’ve had my eye on this bag for a few months! The unique pleated design is so chic!
Gorgeous bag! I would love to see it in real life!
