I am about to pull the trigger on my first Botkier! I have fallen hard for the Venice Hobo. Love the caramel best, but found a great deal on black and love that too :)

Can anyone point me towards any pics of this bag in black? I have found several caramel but haven't seen any real life shots in black.

I have owned Linea Pelle and Belen Echandia in the past and was THIS close to spending my new bag budget on a Treesje Magnolia satchel, then discovered the Logan satchel, which I considered, and then this Venice walked into my life and I know no other bag will do!

TIA!

I'm not sure if there are pics of the hobo in black in this subforum, but there's a thread with pics of the black satchel here: Reveal: Gorgeous New Venice Satchel Hopefully, this will help you get an idea of how the Venice style looks in black!

The Venice hobo is definitely a gorgeous style, hope you take the plunge!

That's awesome, thank you!

Here's a modeling pic I found, lol, but still is a nice way to look at the bag in black!

I have that hobo in black and I absolutely LOVE it! After I got it, I sold all of my other black bags. The leather is so durable. Some of my other bags seem more fragile, but that one has leather that really takes a beating and looks great. It is such a perfect size and I love the zipper pockets on the front. There is a front pocket with a magnet closure that is really convenient for a cell phone.

I can take pics modeling pics if you want me to, but not tonight because I am no longer decent.

LOLOL, that'd be great! I just pulled the trigger on mine!!!! AAAACCCCKKKK!!!

I picked it up on sale at Saks, $415 w/free shipping using the code that just expired, then I got an email with a 10% off code (new registration) and got onto live chat with Saks and they adjusted my order! So out the door for $375 and from Saks, no less. WOOT!

Nice! you are gonna love it

I'll try to take a pic tomorrow.

Lucky! I considered ordering it from Saks as well, but after the duties/taxes were added to my order (to Ontario), it was around $700 USD!

Hi all,
The Venice is absolutely amazing..the mini-pockets are my fave! For everything I almost forget while running out of the house, each pocket is the ready catch-all!

Thank you so much! These are terrific pics and just reiterates my love for the bag. I will add my own pics next week, when my bag arrives. Thanks again!!!

Got my bag and I LOVE it! Very impressed with my first Botkier. Will post pics this weekend - the black is beautiful, the hardware and details are beautiful (love the zipper on the strap!), the interior and exterior pockets are well thought out, it's comfortable, not too heavy, it's wonderful!

Time to save my pennies for my next Botkier acquisition

HeyItsRobin · Nov 6th, 2009, 01:02 AM

awesome! This was the bag that started my botkier obsession.
