I emailed the seller and asked about authenticity and why the bag was so cheap, and this was the repsonse that i got (via blackberry 5 minutes after my message): "Hi there!! I bought this bag directly from Botkier and have the receipt to prove it. I never buy or sell fakes (just look at my feedback). Anyway, just got it on sale and am passing the savings onto you . I hope that helps!! : ) Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T" at least it doesn't seem to be coming form a huge conglomerate replica seller in china! what do you guys think? too good to be true or the real deal?? thank you so much!

I think from the pictures it looks fine! Also, I usually think it's a good sign to get a personal and helpful response from a seller, rather than a lot of defensive stuff or no answer at all. Maybe she got it at a sample sale? It looks like the seller has good feedback and has sold other Botkiers which also look legit from the pictures.

^ Yeah, it's authentic. Botkier still has some bags on the site deeply reduced, I can't remember if this one was included or not but it's a great steal!

Hi, I bought this one second hand and could use some help in knowing if it is authentic or not. Here are a couple of image links as well as a link to the photobucket album which has more pics. Thanks for any input!

I don't know that particular style, but the leather quality and logo are consistent with Botkier.

The first is definitely real. I think the second is too, but it would be nice to see interior shots.

Hello all! I came across this olive trigger, and I know absolutely nothing about Botkier. I'm sorry to post so close to the auction end, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about authenticity? I went back several pages and did not see it listed, but did come across someone else asking about the purple lining. This one has purple as well!

^ I would ask for better pics of that bag. She's only showing one side...

It very well may be authentic but it seems off to me, maybe it's just the bad pics...

Hi all...
I'm looking at a cognac Trigger on ebay that looks very different from others I've seen. The trigger hardware seen on the backside photo appears with a logo (?), which is different:

The seller was super nice and sent me more interior pictures as well. The interior is white with the name all over, but the Botkier nameplate is in leather with two brass rivets on either side. (Wish I could figure out how to attach the photo... I'm a newbie.) The seller also said this was purchased at a NYC sample sale in Soho three or more years back. Does this look and sound authentic to anyone? Thanks!

Looks real to me...in spring '05 they made the trigger with tassles and the white lining with Botkier written all over. It's just an older trigger and if she said she got it 3 years back it would make sense. Hope this helps!

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum, and fell in love with this Kika satchel. I was hoping you guys could tell me if it was authentic. Thanks in advance!
