Any thoughts on this? I love that it's edgy, large, beautiful color... but what's the real deal on Botkier (aside from the view that it resembles Balenciaga).
Durability? Style?

Those dimensions you have there look about right to me. I just find that it's often the depth of the bag that makes it a small or large bag to me and I consider 2" to be small. I got mine on sale at Bergdorf I think and still paid over $300, so that price is great. I looked at the close-ups of the leather on diabro and it looks similar to mine. Mine is a nice thick sturdy, slightly pebbled leather, no babying necessary, except for the normal carefullness that white bags entail. I say go for it, it's a gorgeous bag at a great price.
I think the reason it is so inexpensive is that Botkier hasn't made that line in a couple of seasons. I think it is a great bag and very versatile. I have a few botkiers and if I get another one it would definitely be the stirrup.
I haven't voted because I don't think it is awesome but I don't think it is a waste of money either - sorry to be so literal, but to me this is a sharp style in a versatile colour that looks like i would be a great daily bag but doesn't make my heart sing. Sorry, that's not much help is it?
