Botkier bags have been a longtime favorite of the Purse Blog team. There is a category for them on Purse Blog savvy which they so deserve but I still want to talk about them on Purse Blog sometimes as well. Amanda already covered the Botkier Venice Hobo on PB Savvy and now I am here on Purse Blog to share my love of this bag with you as well.
Let the lusting begin. The Botkier Venice Hobo is designed with smooth supple leather. The leather from Botkier is amazing, this I can attest to. Ample front zippers and tassels add an extra dimension that looks super chic. The hobo will fit perfectly under your arm and not rub right under your arm with the 9″ drop. All sorts of pockets are on the inside for storage as well, a zip and three open pockets. And this hobo is extra roomy, dimensions are 16″W X 13″H X 2½”D. I love this bag. A yellow version for $595 at Nordstrom is available (they have a magnificent yellow hue) or opt for black or caramel (which is my pick) at Saks for $595.
I think this is a beautiful bag! And it looks like its a pretty decent size too- big enought to fit all my junk! LOL.

I want one of these in black pretty badly for fall/winter.
I have this bag in Caramel. I honestly cannot say enough about it. I am completely smitten with nearly everything about it! LOVE the leather… the working, useful zippers… the perfect strap and drop… the internal space… and let’s not forget my favorite little surprise: the attached key chain (not a fob, a long chain – my keys are never lost and I don’t have to unhook to unlock the door!)
On the Botkier Forum I gushed about it, and Monica addressed her own love for the Venice line. It’s an amazing bag.
If you’re ready to buy now, LunaBoston.com is another great source. I bought mine there, and I know they had it in both Black and Caramel at my last visit. You can get 25% off with code “grechen” – no restrictions + free shipping… http://www.lunaboston.com
Aside from my totally utilitarian Hayden-Harnett Havana Hobo, I have never loved a mid-priced bag this much. Hooray for the Botkier Venice Hobo, and thanks for featuring it, Megs!
I see nothing special about this bag, it looks sloppy and ordinary, end of story

I adore the new Botkier collection! Am using the Kai at the moment which is FAB but can’t wait for the Taylor!
ohhhhh… this might become my fall obsession…
I bought this in caramel AND yellow from Luna Boston, but forgot to return the yellow when I decided to keep the caramel. If anyone wants to buy it from me at 25% off – I will sell it to you! It’s still NWT in the box it came in.
