Default Opinions on a Yellow Botkier Bag
Hello ladies! I really want to get a yellow bag but I'm torn between the Venice Satchel, the Trigger, and the Jackie. I want something thats classic, but yet a little edgy. Which one do you prefer? Also, does anyone have pictures of any of the three bags in Yellow? TIA!

Here is my thread of the Acid Yellow Trigger:

Acid Yellow Trigger Spring 2009

This is the very first yellow bag that I have ever purchased. I'm not sure if you can call it classic because of the bright color, but the trigger style is surely a Botkier classic. I rarely buy bright color bags, but I love this one!

Oh that is cute. It maybe a lil too bright for me though. Hmm I'm leaning towards the Venice Satchel.

I personally like the venice hobo very much. I think I have seen the yellow color somewhere, but rare. I would love to get a venice hobo in caramel!

Congrats! If you feel like the Acid Yellow Trigger is too bright for you, the Sunshine Venice Satchel should definitely be a better fit. Please do share pics when you get it! Also, heh, yeah, I seem to do better when I'm not on bans... Just sayin'...

The Venice satchel I think is more versatile..not as bold as the Trigger..It would complement more items in my wardrobe so I would prefer that one. Does any one have both? I'd love to see the difference in color by watching them together under the same light!

So I just received my Yellow Venice Satchel and I was so excited! I opened it up and... wth? The straps are all discolored! I bought it supposedly new from an online boutique. I am so mad! Its so noticeable too. The bag itself is so pretty and to get it all ruined like this is so upsetting. I emailed the company already and am awaiting a response.

^ That's not a good look, hopefully you'll get things sorted out and get one in perfect condition. It really is a beautiful bag.

Oh no! WTH?! So sorry you got a bag like this, lilflygirl... Which boutique did you get it from, if you don't mind me asking? I hope the store gets back to you with a decent response and an offer of a refund, because this is pretty messed up, and I'm not too sure it could be easily fixed... Please keep us posted, and good luck!

I got it at Jessie's Boutique. I hope they will give me a refund although I did get it for a very good price. They still haven't responded yet though. Is there anyway to get rid of the discoloration if they don't give me a refund ?

This is the 2nd time within a month that I see people complaining about Jessie's Boutique selling defective Botkier bags! Maybe they should disclose on their site that they are selling defective handbags so people can decided whether or not to risk the chance!

Venice Hobo from Jessie Boutique damaged!
