Elizabeth James Tote

[dcooney4]

Do anyone have an Elizabeth James handbag or tote and what are your thoughts?

I have this black E&J bag. It is cute, has pockets in all the right places, is well constructed and is a functional everyday bag for me. It is not terribly luxe in terms of materials though. The leather seems like it will last forever but it isn't a wow that bag must be expensive leather. I was looking at See by Chloe bags when I was looking at this one and this one won due to style and construction. I would get this bag again but would probably try another out of the box brand the next time I am looking at ~ $400 bags.

I think your bag looks great. It has a bit of an edge with the tassel but the style is something that can stand the test of time. Is it a pebbled leather or a type of saffaino leather? How is it holding up?

I bought a Findlay tote for $695 that was covered in studs. I really liked it, but it was already missing several studs right out of the box, so I took it back.

I am sorry to hear that.

It's pebbled leather and it's holding up well. It looks better with use IMO as the leather is getting a little looser and fits the edgy look better.

So glad to hear it. I really like it. The tote I am contemplating has the same tassel as yours.

Does this have the light colored lining?

My bag has a dark lining but maybe they make different versions? Don't know.

Thanks for answering all my questions? I thought since I saw it on Bloomingdales website more people would have responded.
