In the Bag

Botkier Bags

The contents of your handbag reveal your true mental state. Inside yours:

a) Diary, wallet, phone. (You’re a control freak.)
b) Full contents of your desk and a pair of trainers. (You’re a commitmentphobe.)
c) Toothbrush, clean pants. (You’re optimistic.)

If you must bear the weight of your entire life on your shoulder, do so in style. Any serious heavyweight should invest in a bag by U.S. label Botkier. The collection was created by Monica Botkier, an ex-fashion photographer who was unable to find a tote stylish enough to be paraded in front of Manhattan’s fashion elite.

The soft leather satchels and hobos come in colours like nero, brown and platinum. And even the evening clutches are vast.

Which means you can carry as much fresh underwear as you’d like.

And your optimism will know no bounds.
