No, it's NOT French, it's Polish.

Finally! Thank you, that makes a great difference. Finally I know... Thanks again!

I don't know how it's pronounced now though, I'll just stay with Bo-key-yay or Bot-key-yay untill I know...

i called their store in n.y. (212) 343-2782;and it's botkier as in "bot-key-yer"

it's " yer " like in supplier

one more time just in case it's just being overlooked

Since I now know that the name is Polish, and the correct pronnunciation, I am going to say Bot-kee-yer. Glad we had this thread!

It's nice to know I wasn't the only one with this problem! Now we can all go shop some more!

Thanks! Now we finally know!

Hehehe this thread cracks me up! When I would 'say' it in my head I always switched between "yer" and "ee-yay" on the end.

Now....back to shopping, eh??

So this is a super old thread, but I wanted everyone to know that the designer herself pronounces it "bot-key-air".

Monica Botkier pronounces "Botkier" within the first 20 seconds of this clip for the Spring 2010 line preview:
