Wow, this takes me back! My first Botkier was a canvas large Trigger bag, back when Botkier made the Trigger in different sizes. I bought it from Barney's Co-op in South Beach. I loved that bag. I wish Triggers still came in that size...lol...they are too small for me now! I highly recommend the Trigger, though. It's a classic!
 
Mine was the Black Rose satchel in metallic purple. Then I got the Bryant hobo in gray (still the softest leather I've ever felt). Next was the Essex bag in dark brown, and finally, the Sasha medium duffel in black leather. I'd go for the Sasha, because it's so versatile, especially with those convertible straps. My favorite is still the Bryant hobo...just as versatile but the leather is seriously amazing. Not sure if they're still making those...:thinkin:

Mine was a canvas small Trigger bag (in dark pink). Still treasure it.

My first was a Sasha Satchel in pudding which I foolishly sold. I would do anything to have that bag back - it was perfection! I also had a gunmetal Trigger but it was Sooooo heavy - like carrying a bag of rocks. Loved the rocker chic edgy look though.
 
Mine was a medium black trigger, then a large black trigger, then a large steel trigger and finally a sasha in pudding ... still love those original triggers.
 
My first beauty was a cognac Fan Hobo, loved the shape and the uniqueness of the bag and it holds alot. I then purchased a pudding medium Sasha Duffel, from there I went on to acquire a Bombay Tote whose leather is to die for, and I recently made two new purchases. The Jackie Hobo in a rich creamy chocolate brown....love love love this bag, and today I picked up a James Hobo in black at a price I couldn't pass up.
 
I'm still relatively new to Botkier, so my first Botkier was the James Hobo in Deep Purple, purchased just earlier this year. Next up was a deal that I couldn't pass up for a Black Trigger (Spring '09 reissue), a Botkier classic! After that...? Still undecided on that third Botkier! ;) I love some of the new lines though (e.g. James, Venice, Logan, Uma), and definitely hope that they stick around in addition to the classics!
 
the gladiator clutch in white ... there was a definite problem after that :) as it was followed by the gladiator small shoulder in black, two large sashas, a st. tropez from the sample sale, and sashas for a bunch of my friends ...
