From fashion shutterbug to fashion arbiter, accessories designer Monica Botkier took her downtown sensibilities and created an eponymous collection of edgy chic handbags and shoes. Her eye-catching accessories are embellished with exposed zippers, fringed trim, and studded hardware fit for the fashionable urbanite.
The bag is extremely well made, the color is right for the season - pastel salmon color with sand trim, not to mention very pretty. Lots of pockets inside, very convenient. Large enough to hold an iPad or e-book, or maybe even a very small laptop. And the size was the reason I had to return it, I am 5 ft tall, and on me it looked like a small suitcase. For a woman of average height or above it will be a great bag.

This cosmetic bag exceeded my expectations. It looks expensive, and the inside lining is protective. I will be buying more Botkier products.

This bag is large but the leather quality, the design and every details are so great. You can feel the sophisticated creation as well as the careful handicraft thru every details and the harmony of color.

Big and practical

This bag has simple design. It's so roomy that you can carry on a laptop or some magazines. The leather is quite hard and not soft at all. When I look into the picture I thought this bag is quite slouchy but it turns out big and hard. However, I can either put my laptop into it or use it as a weekend tote where I can put many things into it and go shopping all day long without any worries.
