The best part about owing a Botkier is......

Dreaming about owning......

musicalhouses · Jul 1st, 2009, 02:56 PM

Ooh can't believe I get to go first!

Age: 22

Occupation: Student

Home: From Singapore but lived in Chicago for 3 years, and later heading off to UK for 1 year (I'll seriously miss Botkier when I leave Chicago! I don't see her bags overseas!)

Favorite designers: Rebecca Minkoff and Botkier (both sadly very unavailable outside of the US). I have some Coach too, but its not the brand I go gaga over.

Favorite Botkier bag: I have a puny Botkier collection - only 2 bags, but I love them both! I have the Jackie Satchel in Black and the Medium Black Trigger. I love them both! The Jackie is great for work, while the Trigger is definitely a classic!

The best part about owing a Botkier is......The leather is always TDF! Whenever I carry one of my Botkiers out I can never stop touching it! And I can always trust Botkier's quality, no need to worry about tarnishing hardware/things falling off or falling apart etc. I also love Botkier's designs, esp the James and Venice lines - love the ruching, the tassels, the exposed zippers, the hardware! To me those elements are what Botkier does best!

Dreaming about owning......Something from the James line, esp either the Hobo or the Satchel! Non-Botkier dream bags will probably be an Rebecca Minkoff MAM, and dream bag I'll never ever get will be a classic Chanel 2.55.

Would love to see other people's responses!

Favorite Botkier bag:I have few... trigger med satchel in black, zoe satchel in gunmetal, sasha med duffel in black, hmm, what else, Stevie convertible in black

The best part about owing a Botkier is...... outside pockets, great design, plus quality and customer service.

Dreaming about owning...... Logan satchel or the Uma satchel, can't decide now.

Favorite Botkier bag: Sasha Satchel. Best Botkier Ever. Please bring it back!!!

The best part about owing a Botkier is......a true original (in my neck of the woods anyway) and incredibly smooshy leather!

Dreaming about owning......Uma satchel in aubergine or Logan in distressed black!

Favorite Botkier bag: Leather Sasha :)

The best part about owning a Botkier is the amazing leather -- it's luxurious for a great price.

Dreaming about owning something from the Uma line

Age: 25 (in a few days, close enough)

Occupation: stylist ( and blogging hobbyist)

Home: currently STL, but I go to Nashville or Chicago at least once a month

Favorite designers: Botkier, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs (and what he's done with LV)

Favorite Botkier bag: Bianca medium satchel, the Trigger

The best part about owing a Botkier is...... The quality. I get so many compliments from people who have never heard of Botkier... the gorgeous, original and high quality design just jumps out at you. Yet, I like how stealth the designs are... I don't have to worry about being specifically targeted because I have on a flashy bag.

Dreaming about owning...... My HG is a Chanel 2.55, black with gunmetal hardware. I've been wishing for a LV LE Stephen Sprouse graffiti speedy in the tonic green color, and someone offered to get it for me for my birthday but I'll be surprised if she managed to track one down... Luckily my birthday is in five days, so we'll see! I will probably purchase a grey Botkier at some point this season.

Age: 27

Occupation: Public Relations

Home: Singapore

Favorite designers: OMG tons! For bags, specifically MBMJ, Miu Miu, Botkier, Treesje, Mulberry

Favorite Botkier bag: Definitely my large Sasha in lambskin

The best part about owing a Botkier is...... The design is timeless. I get lots of positive comments whenever I wear my Botkiers. Botkier bags are unlike many designer IT bags which are commonly spotted and I love making people guess where my bags come from (Botkier is not common here in Singapore). The leather is TDF.

Dreaming about owning...... MBMJ Dr Q Hillier hobo, Botkier Venice satchel, Chanel Classic 2.55, Treesje Avalon mini, Miu Miu mini Bow... I think I have a very long list...

Favorite Botkier bag: The Bryant hobo in black! Looooove the elephant tusk fob and the gorgeous lambskin. I also own the Bryant satchel in grey, Vixen satchel in black, and just bought myself the Logan satchel in black! Maybe Logan > Bryant.... : )

On top of the regular Botkier line, I have a few purses from the Target line.

The best part about owing a Botkier is...... The fantastic pockets and compartments - I love always finding a place to put my stuff in my Botkier bags. I also get compliments on the leather and overall purse design.

Dreaming about owning...... Balenciaga - I've been coveting the Day and City bags
