Confession: I can’t wear heels, but I still have a couple of reasonably priced pairs, and my favorites are from Elie Tahari. If I could wear them, I would do it all the time. They’re fairly comfy for heels, and if I ever feel like I absolutely have to bust out a pair to sit around in at a fancy party, those are my go-to shoes. I try to avoid the necessity since my orthopedist has already made enough money off of me, but sometimes a girl needs her heels.

I’ve never come across an Elie Tahari handbag in person, however, but I can’t help but be impressed and intrigued by the Elie Tahari Dana Leather Hobo.

The leather looks awfully soft, doesn’t it?

This bag isn’t anything earth-shattering, I’ll admit, but it’s a really good-looking basic. The soft, looped leather around the sides creates just enough visual interest without distracting from the simplistic style of the bag, and the wide, flat leather strap looks like it would be very comfortable to carry for long periods of time. This one is a winner, folks. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $498.

Not completely sure on this one. I like the look, but I'd like to see the looped leather on ths sides in person. Not sure I would like it irl.

Tahari is SO well made, but this is a bit plain.

I think i'd need to see this one IRL, but so far, so good!

I would have to see it as well but I am a sucker for this shape. Not sure of the color.

This is enough of a twist on the boring black leather hobo that I'm interested.

Looks quite nice.

I really like this one! The leather looks so soft.

Very plain and cookie-cutter except for the sides which actually make the bag its own just a little bit; however, these sides are not pretty.
