I've been eyeing the Ziggy Botkier for a few months, and I was never sure when or how I could get it / order it.... (Canadian)

I was at Bloomingdales on Monday an I saw the green one (medium) for around 400 something minus 30 % (or that might have been the biasia sign that was 40%), and I decided it was so cute, but green ain't my color and I wasn't going to spend either 300 or 400 on it.

Yesterday I went to Barney's Outlet at Sawgrass and they had the black one sitting there, originally 645, down to 3something, NOW on sale for 159!!!!!!!!!!

I grabbed it and bought it immediately!!!

As I was paying for it, I noticed one weird thing, on the front closure buckle, it's missing the 'botkier' stamp, although it has 4 on other parts of the bag.

I'm assuming maybe mine's just 'one of a kind' or maybe that's what it was so cheap, but regardless, as long as I didn't get screwed and it's real... I'm good to go :)

It's super cute! I'm sure you guys have seen the pics of it's 148348723 times, so I won't bother, but it's a cutie!

I would say that since you bought it Barney's Outlet it's real but that may be the reason it was so deeply discounted, it's probably just a minor flaw in the bag that wasn't caught in any QA in manufacturing. Congrats on such a discounted score!!!

Thanks!!! It's actually the Large one, not the medium, oops!

Congrats! It's a cute bag and what a great price. I love the Barneys Outlet. I just wish I was closer to one (like <30 min driving) so that I could drop by more often. There are some amazing deals on bags there sometimes.

Just an update - I emailed botkier asking them about the missing piece and they replied with this...
