Cynthia Rowley Jane Patent Leather Tote, Handbag of the Day

What does this bag remind you of? It may look like shiny green bubble wrap, but it is actually quilted black patent leather. I like the size and shape, but I just can't get past the bubbly pattern. Maybe it's just a bad photo. The front zipper detail looks good, but is it just for looks are can you actually store things in there? It has a zip top closure and rather chunky gold-tone hardware, including over-sized protective feet. Lined in black twill, the bag measures 12½ high by 16" wide by 5" deep and has 7½" strap drop. $395.
