Botkier Reviews
I will preface my review by saying that I am a bagaholic and I usually fall in love with Jimmy Choo and Chanel bags... I eyed Botkier's Valentina bag collection online for months and just kept coming back to it. I've always adored the shape and simple, elegant hardware featured on all of Botkier's Valentina Satchel bags, but I've never actually owned or even held a Botkier, so I was a little gun-shy to stray to a new brand I knew practically nothing about. When I saw the new grey leopard Valentina Satchel online a few months ago, I fell in love with it. I finally pulled the trigger and purchased it (reassured that I could always return easily if ordered through Zappos). I just got it in the mail today and was just stunned. This bag is just... beautiful. The leathery fabric is so rich looking with just the slightest hint of a metallic sheen that just makes the bag breathtaking. And I cannot say enough about the quality of the construction of the bag. I have owned/held/borrowed many a expensive bag in my life, but very few surpass the quality of construction of this bag. Honestly, I was blown away by the bag's quality, design, material, shape, size and gold detailing... This is officially my new favorite bag for this summer (even surpassing other more expensive designer bags)! Needless to say, LOVE LOVE LOVE. A little expensive, but oh SOO worth every penny. (Oh, and not to mention it was awesome that Zappos got it to me in only 2 days with free shipping...)

This is the best bag. Great blush color for Spring/Summer. Good size. So universal since you can use it as a clutch/cross body bag/shoulder bag. Plus, it's a great size and you can fit a lot of stuff. I want to get this bag in other colors!
I purchased the black and white crocodile style bag. Love this bag! Perfect size, nice light weight leather, great handle length, and a crossbody strap too. Beautiful design. Very minimal, yet sophisticated. The only mini minus is that it doesn't have feet to protect the bottom.
I love this bag. I have it in black. It is very roomy and has become my everyday favorite. The leather quality is very nice. Unlike many barrel bags, this one gives you easy access to the interior. The bag has an outside pocket on the back of the purse that closes with a magnet. It is the perfect size to hold my cell phone for easy access. The front pocket is also very roomy. The hardware on the bag is great quality. I really can't say enough good things about the bag. I love it and it is worth every penny that I spent on it.
I got one in cherry color and I am in love. This bag makes my whole outfit look organized and stylish no matter what I wear. I don't carry a lot of stuff (usually a cell phone, credit cards, keys, and eyeliner) and the size of this bag is perfect for me. Leather is of high quality and looks truly amazing.
I currently own this bag and I love it! It's the perfect size, fits all my daily needs including a book. I like that I can carry it with its top handles or with the longer strap. I actually added additional holes in the strap to make it a true shoulder. The leather is amazing, really soft and buttery. The high quality is really apparent once it's in your hands.
I exchanged another bag for this one after hours of painstaking research. Unfortunately, I'll be returning this one too. It's a beautiful bag, but it's much smaller/narrower than what I'd imagined, and just not worth the price (in my opinion). Cool bag, liked the way it fit with the cross body strap, but not big enough/luxe-looking enough for me for that price. Considering checking out more Botkiers -- this just wasn't what I pictured.
I have two of these bags. They are beautiful in design and very well made. I don't love things, yet I do richly enjoy this beautiful bag. The sale price here on Zappos is a great buy. This is an American Designer and I am happy to have two of her bags. If you're on the fence, let me reiterate the quality is exceptional. You will not be disappointed!!!.... :)
A beautiful handbag crafted of the softest leather that takes a lovely shape when worn. I love this handbag for the design, but the interior is all about being organized, which I love
Bag goes out of shape once items are in it and the strap is not comfortable on shoulder, somewhat rough.
When I took this purse out of the box I was surprised at how heavy it was!! It felt like I had already put all my stuff in it. The color combos are so beautiful but didn't care for the texture of the leather. Unfortunately it will have to go back due to the weight.
