Botkier Shoes

Botkier Shoes

2.22.2008 | by Megs | under: Accessories

monica botkier During Spring 2008, Botkier will be celebrating their fifth anniversary. Monica Botkier, the designer behind the bags, has experienced great growth and success with her handbag line. Her handbags have caught the attention of handbag lovers world wide, and are carried at stores such as Saks and Neiman Marcus and seen on the arms of countless celebrities. Many of you will remember our fabulous Botkier Sasha Giveaway (which is still one of my favorite bags ever!). As this is the case, Monica has decided to move to the next level and launch a Botkier Shoe line. Their inaugural shoe line will be composed of nineteen different styles; varying from chic sandals to retro ballet flats, glamorous hammered ring stilettos and mod, peep toe ankle boots. The Botkier shoes take on a varitey of colors, including beautiful bronze and copper metallics, nude snake skin, bright fuchsia, and royal blue. The prices range between $200-$500 and all shoes are made in Italy. I am looking forward to seeing the shoes in person and trying them on. Botkier has always delivered fashionable and practical bags, so their shoe launch is something to look forward to. Some of the shoes are available on Botkier online now. Make sure to check out Monica Botkier’s new venture and let us know what you think!

Vey old ladyish. The soles look very flimsy too.

Call me an old lady! I really like those silver sandals; I could dance all night in those. Ballet flats don’t work with my short stature but these have different twist, in blue patent leather. Now, the black shoes do have an old-fashioned look but they’re more Retro 1940s than “old lady”.

I must be an old lady too, ’cause I love all of them. :o)

I agree this are very old fashion it feels like i have seen them before, and they are not very youthful or attractive.

Can you please tell me the name of the bag Jessica Alba is carrying in the recent photos of her shopping…it’s a leopard print satchel with chain strap.

Thanks!!!!!!

:roll: she should just stick with designing bags… not flattering at all.

shoes are a whole ‘nother animal. Just because you can make handbags doesn’t necessarily mean you can make shoes.

Kate Spade’s shoes never looked quite right either.

It’s best to leave stuff like that up to the big guys who are really experts, ie: prada, christian laboutin, miu miu, manolo, etc.

 
Comment by AJC on 02/24/2008 at 2:28 pm

No WOW factor here for me, I’m afraid. This combined with rather high prices does not get me interested in her shoes

 
Comment by greenegirl on 02/25/2008 at 12:43 pm

I’d be even happier if the shoes came in a size 11, but according to a lovely lady at botkier.com customer service, 10 is the max.

nothing special about them..she should just stick with handbags in my opinion!
