If you missed our live chat with Monica Botkier this morning don’t worry. We will have the entire transcript up this afternoon for your perusal! Monica shared with us her story of balancing life as a female entrepreneur, designer, photographer and mother to two bouncing babes!
We will also have sneak peeks at many of Monica’s favorite Fall bags later. But to satisfy your craving immediately, we highly suggest picking up the Venice Satchel. It’s rocker chic at its very best! Monica told us in our virtual personal appearance chat: “I am so overwhelmed by the reaction to Venice. This was a group for SS09 that has just gone crazyy so we are bringing it back for SS10 in January. I felt like I needed to get in touch with my inner bad ass and feel cool so I wanted a lot of zips and tassels…”
Oh yes, we’d like to get in touch with our inner bad ass as well! The Venice Satchel is available in three delicious colors for $595 each.
At Botkier website and at Shopbop!

the main event on those size zippers looks like too many balenciaga and tod’s bags combined. and the cool zip strap is clearly a givenchy knockoff. fail. *sigh* monica *sigh*
I agree. There is nothing new in this bag.
Except it costs a third of what those bags cost
I have the Venice in caramel and I love it. I don’t think it’s in any way like Balenciaga
it looks exactly like the balenciaga and the kooba bags and botkier bags are always knockoffs- the quality is not that good and the style is not there
It sort of has this rocker rebel chic vibe to it. It looks really cool and the color is a classic.
