I've done some casual browsing for an old school Botkier Trigger. Most of them don't state old so I assume they are newer and not as nice leather. I found one that stated old and they wanted $189. Seems kinda high to me.
Anyone had one of these? Are they quite heavy?

I’ve gotten to where I can tell the age of some of them. The one I have has a leather slot for cards on the inside of the big middle compartment. If the card slots are there its a newer one I think. The leather is DEFINITELY not as good as my green Venice. It’s more plasticky feeling in a way. It’s still soft and nice though. I love the three compartments.

The older more teal/emerald green bags with plain dark lining are old versions. There’s an older style I’m eyeing that was called the Turbo version that has a pearlescent sheen to them and they’re more boxy. I’d really like a nice old black one! I find myself reaching for the trigger much more than the Venice because it’s a great size and like I said, I love the compartments. I don’t find it too heavy but it’s a newer one, so maybe lighter weight of leather.

It is crazy to add up the price of all these poshmark purchases if they were brand new bags [emoji23]

now that you mention it I recall that Turbo name
and I recall there were some that were more square and some that were more east-west.
If I were to buy one, I'd try to make sure with the seller that it was an old one.
As I said earlier I did some one for $189 that was old but that seems high to me. And I'd probably want black and I have too many black bags already
Enjoy your bags :)

Errm...I don’t know how popular the Botkier Nomad was, but it’s a great piece.
RM’s quilted chevron pieces were nice, the ones that are clearly kind of Boy or YSL-inspired...
I had a soft spot for the Hayden Harnett ‘Tron’ collection even though theyre WAY not my style...I was a 70’s/80s baby and the original ‘Tron’ was one of my favorite movies. So it was the nostalgia :giggle:
But the Nomad is one I wish I hadn’t got rid of...it was the squishy satchel, not the boxy crossbody.

Is this the quilted chevron you mean?

Oh also, that Cupid is niiiiiiiice! I’ve now got my eye on that one! It’s so pretty and I love the shape!

If you look for a cupid, suggest you try to find one with zipper pocket on the rear as well as on front. At some point in recent years they eliminated that rear zipper pocket. It's nice and roomy.
The photo I posted of my pink one is showing the rear zip pocket.

Ha!!! I just went to ask you about your Cupid and I saw this! Great minds think alike [emoji23] the one I’m eyeing doesn’t have the zipper but the color is just calling me (it’s a deep plum color). What’s the interior pattern of your Cupid?

black and blue dots
personally, I'd hold out for an older one if I were you
if it doesn't have the rear zipper, it's newer

I found one! I’m suuuuuper exited, thanks for pointing the style out! It was actually hard to find ones with the back zipper. It’s another fixer upper but it seemed like one that’s harder to find and it was SO CHEAP. The inside lining has a big rip so it needs to be sewn. I’m pretty hard on the inside of my bags so as long as the outside looks good, I’m totally fine with it being sewn up on the inside (especially for $20!!).
