Dun dun dun… it is the battle of the satchels! Today you will be the judge of the bag that wins this contest. On the left we have the Botkier Bianca Leather Satchel while on the right we have the Chloe Betty Satchel. Both of these handbags use supple plush leather and pair two front pockets to give the bag a casual but swanky feel. The Botkier bag is designed with ivory leather and golden hardware. There are double shoulder straps along with a zip top closure. Dimensions are 7 1/2″H x 14 1/2″W x 5 1/2″D. The Chloe Betty Satchel showcases gray leather along with silver metal hardware. This satchel also has a shoulder strap with rings and a zip top. Measurements of this bag are a bit larger at 16″H x 17″W x 6″D. Accenting the Botkier bag are tassel pull tabs while a zip top coin purse adorns the Chloe bag. To me both of these handbags look quite similar and offer many of the same things. You be the judge of who wins the battle of the satchel. I won’t give away the price, but when you do see it, you most likely will chose one bag over the next. Botkier via Saks and Chloe via Saks.
I really like the Botkier bella clutch but when it comes to a satchel I definately love the Chloe Betty Bags(and I love that grey color as well).
One vote here for the Botkier – much more beautiful and expensive looking.
have you heard of besso bags? what are your thoughts on them?
I definately prefer the Botkier. It’s beautiful and elegant. The Chloe looks more like a gym/utilatirian bag. Very normal.
wow this is hard to chose. personally i would love the botkier satchel its so versatile i can see myself using it for work or lunch.
for chloe, be it my favourite label or not, the design of the bag’s rather casual looking i guess its because of the handles. but in a way its cute and i wouldn’t mind a betty either.
but bianca wins this time round!
I’m a HUGE Botkier fan so I’m gonna have to go with the Bianca satchel on this one. I do love Chloe bags but I think you get more for your money with Botkier. You’re not just paying for the label.
Love the Botkier bag because it has a hip & sexy feel while the chloe is just as beautiful, yet has a little more “downtown” & casual vibe.
The Botkier, I love lambskin, so soft, looks so beautiful.
I’m a bit late with this, but the botkier leather attracts dirt so badly, and even after being sprayed with leather protector, that Art Bag in NYC couldn’t do anything with it and I had to trash the bag. If anyone buys the botkier, beware.
I really love the Botkier handbag- its so cute! I really like that its made of leather yet has the gold finishes on it- i just bought a bag similar to it on shopgoldyn.com- great site for all you handbag lovers!
I love the botkier one, it looks much better.
