Botkier Morgan Satchel

Megs · Apr 11th, 2008, 10:16 AM

As Vlad and I spent time in NYC last week we realized one major thing: fringe is back for fall! I can not tell you how many designers are incorporating fringe into their Fall 2008 handbag lines. Fringe has been known to look ghastly, as many considered the Prada Fringe Bag to be from early 2007. But when done right, fringe can add the extra dimension that sends your bag into a statement piece that is still wearable and not over-powering. I have been a huge fan of Botkier bags and Monica, the designer behind them, is amazing (our interview with Monica to come soon!). The Botkier Bag that I am lusting after for fall is the Botkier Morgan Satchel in grape lambskin leather. This is the small version in the perfect lush color for fall. The supple grape lambskin leather is accented with gunmetal hardware. The top flap zipper opens to offer an additional pouch. I have a major grape crush on this bag and am looking forward to its arrival in June (this is from the pre-fall collection). Price will be $650 and you can inquire further through Botkier.

I think I'd like it a lot better without the fringe.

The color is great, I just have a serious fringe allergy. *L*

I can't wait to see this irl! It looks fabulous!

Nice bag but it'd look better in tan or beige IMO.

I LOVE the color, but I'm not 100% on the fringe. At least they didn't go overboard with the fringe--I'd have to see the bag IRL

Gorgeous bag!

I love it. What a gorgeous bag and the color is fabulous.

Love the color.

Not loving that "fringe" is coming back into style. Yuck!

cathymd · Apr 14th, 2008, 09:30 AM

I love the style and the color, but the best thing is the longer straps!! Yay for being able to wear a purse over a coat.

JAP4life · Apr 14th, 2008, 11:20 AM

I'm not one for fringe, but that color is drool inducing!!

anneonimiss · Apr 15th, 2008, 03:35 PM

Wow, I would usually avoid fringe like the plague, but I'm really liking everything about that bag. I would like to see it irl, too.

[coco] · Apr 15th, 2008, 10:25 PM

Ok the colour freaks me out slightly but I do love the design. Not a fan of fringe but I think it really makes it for this bag. Loving it.
hahaha.... "grape crush". Nice one Megs.

I love that color (reminds me of 07 Balenciaga violet). The fringe is great too. This is a fabulous looking bag!

Love the color and style but the fringe is driving me CRAZY!
