The Botkier Noa East/West Satchel – Functional and Fashion Forward

Botkier released its first collection back in 2003, but the brand has immediately sky rocketed to fame with a cult following that covers top Hollywood celebrities. This is clearly evidenced by the numerous pictures posted online showing celebrities sporting a Botkier bag.

Case in point, here’s one celebrity who loves wearing Botkier:

If you ask me, I would say the reason behind the patriotism for Botkier is quite simple: Botkier offers casual chic and fashion forward looking bags that fill all, if not, most of the practical requirements a busy woman looks for in an everyday bag.

The latest to hit the shelves this season is the Botkier Noa East/West Satchel from the designer’s Holiday/Resort Collection (shown above).

A frontal view of the Noa East/West Satchel tells you of a basic satchel made with luxurious leather, characterized by clean lines and quality workmanship.

However, what impresses me is the view from the side, as it shows you that this piece offers something more than the usual. The unique gathered effect done by folding/pleating the sides inward adds a distinct flair to the bag, proving once again why Botkier bags are such a hit among celebrities.
