SALE: Botkier "Jackie" Satchel 40% Off

Botkier "Jackie" Satchel
$357.00 (was $595-- save 40%!)
Available at: bluefly.com

While yellow is a quintessential summer color, mustard yellow feels just right for summer into fall. It's richer than the sunshine yellows we see so often during the warmer months, but not so dark that it feels out of place on the days when the clouds stay far away. Take that perfect shade of fall yellow and mix it with a new-classic handbag shape and a super sale price, and we're set for a late-in-the-week shopping spree.

The Botkier "Jackie" Satchel is a new favorite Botkier shape that is destined to take its place alongside the Trigger as a signature Botkier bag. In this gorgeous mustard color, the Jackie becomes an ideal handbag for September. Not quite sure that mustard is your color? This chic bag is also available in deep chocolate brown, also at this excellent sale price.

SALE: Botkier Betty Platform Pump 70% Off

Botkier "Betty" Platform Pump
$133.50 (was $445-- save 70%!)
Available at: shopbop.com

I am convinced that if I wish hard enough we may actually get to experience summer here in the SF area. I think it's paying off... it was in the 80s yesterday. And today had to be close to the 80s. Yes, I know you east coast ladies are laughing right now. Anyway, back to the purpose of my rant. We need some summer so that we can get in some open-toed shoe wearing before the rain kicks in! We've had so little sandal weather that I almost feel guilty buying new sandals. Almost.

I still can't resist an amazing sale. Like these glammy Botkier "Betty" Platform Pumps, on sale at 70% off retail. These shoes project serious glamour girl attitude, but at a totally manageable price for such a high-quality shoe. The "Betty" Platform is crafted from metallic snake-embossed leather and features a buckled strap at ankle. The 3/4" covered platform and 4" covered heel are covered in contrasting snake-embossed leather. So fun. Perfect for summer party-going. Assuming I see some summer some time soon. NYC ladies, I may need to live vicariously through you.

New & Hot: Botkier "Marcel" Satchel Handbag

Botkier "Marcel" Satchel
$495.00
Available at: tobi.com

I'm a huge Botkier fan from way back in the day, but I have to admit I haven't been really in love with a Botkier bag in a long time. I used to lurk in the handbag section of Barney's Co-Op, waiting for new Botkier bags to hit the floor. But I haven't been at that level of devotion in years. And I definitely have not been in love enough to actually purchase. But, that may be about to change.

I just ran across this new Botkier "Marcel" Satchel handbag. This bag reminds me of the Botkier I know and adore. The lines are strong and clean. The detailing is luxe, but not too flashy. The combination of cowhide and lambskin is rich and thoughtful. Plus, this bag is chock full of the hidden pockets and covert organizational tools that made Botkier special at the beginning. While it looks compact and sleek, this bag boasts a hidden kangaroo pocket at the front, interior zip pocket, interior pouch pockets and a removable key chain. Love it.

New & Hot: The Botkier "Trigger" in Acid Yellow

Botkier "Trigger" Handbag
$610.00
Available at: singer22.com

Ahh, the bag that started it all. The Botkier label began with one amazing handbag: The Trigger. It ushered in a new kind of arm candy. The Trigger was luxurious, but quite utilitarian at the same time thanks to pockets galore. And The Trigger could go from day to night without missing a beat. The shape is just as relevant today as when it debuted, but The Trigger has received an update for spring 2009.

Shipping April 15 is a brand new shade of Botkier's Trigger bag: Acid Yellow. This standout version of the modern classic is a perfect fit with Spring's crazy colors and amazing florals. Plus, as Marc Jacobs just showed us, pop art brights are going to be just as important come Fall. This sunny new Botkier will see you through the next few seasons in style.

SALE: Botkier "Rex" Handbag 50% Off

Botkier "Rex" Handbag
$319.00 (was $638-- save 50%!)
Available at: ssense.com

I've been completely obsessed with Botkier handbags ever since I snagged my much loved Botkier "Clyde" nearly 5 years ago. Unfortunately, as my love of Botkier has grown, so has the average asking price for a Botkier handbag. I'm sure I don't have to explain, I always have my super-shopper sense on discount Botkier patrol. Today I picked up on a fabulous Botkier sale steal.

The Botkier "Rex" Handbag is a classic that is still spotted on the arm of fashionistas and starlets. The simple shape combined with trademark Botkier embellishments, such as chain detailing and quilted leather, make for a stand-out bag that you'll wear for seasons to come. The best part? It's currently priced 50% off. A steal in Botkier-land.

SALE: Botkier "Stevie" Satchel Only $142.50

Botkier "Stevie" Satchel
$142.50 (was $475-- save 70%!)

I have been a Botkier fan from nearly the beginning. I got my first Botkier handbag way back in 2004 and I've followed Botkier devotedly ever since. I've never seen an in-season Botkier bag priced this low.

Given that I'm writing this several hours before I intend for it to run, I'm taking a risk that this Botkier "Stevie" Satchel will be sold out by the time you get word. But, that's a risk I'm willing to take. The chance to snag an in-season Botkier bag for under $200 doesn't come around every day. Currently available in Silver, Chocolate and Black, this "Stevie" nylon Satchel features ruched magnetic-patch pockets at front, patent strap detail and magnetic pockets at front and back. The details include gunmetal hardware, lined interior, and 3 interior patch pockets. Yum.

New & Hot: Botkier Nomad Satchel

Botkier Nomad Satchel

Long time readers of Stiletto Jungle know that I am a huge Botkier devotee. I fell in love with their insta-classic Trigger bag the moment it hit the shelves at my local Barney's Co-Op and I have adored just about every bag they have come up with since. There's just something about the combination of super functional pockets and compartments with luxurious leathers and lambskins. Mmm. Perfection.

Although my good ol' Clyde is my fave day-to-day Botkier, I have found many Botkier loves through the years. Meet my newest Botkier obsession: the Nomad Satchel. This glammy little morsel of green lambskin love is just begging to come home with me. The look is luxury, but the functionality is signature Botkier, and that color. Wow. That is a stunning green, just right for fall and winter. If anyone out there wants to know what to get me for Christmas...

Botkier "Bianca" Handbag Back In Stock!

The necessity of getting on a waiting list for the latest handbag design from a top label is hardly news. The practice of waiting patiently to get the bag of your dreams has become old hat for most fashionistas. My problem with the process is I'm always worried that by the time my name has reached the number one position I'm not going to want the bag anymore. How pathetic would that be?

My last big handbag crush was the Botkier "Bianca" Satchel in black lambskin. I had it bad for that bag. I even wrote about the Bianca bag here at Stiletto Jungle when it debuted at the beginning of the fall season. Mere weeks after I wrote about my new lustworthy find, the Bianca satchel was gone. The trendy bag had sold out everywhere. Stiletto Jungle was flooded by handbag lovers searching the internet for this super hot handbag, but the Bianca was nowhere to be found.

Imagine my surprise today when I stumbled upon the Botkier "Bianca" Satchel in the new arrivals section at Hawaii-based online retailer Adasa. I practically jumped for joy. The Bianca is back in stock after months of sold out status. This time around Bianca is not only available in super chic black lambskin, it has also been reincarnated in a sumptuous nude snakeskin cowhide. Check out the re-emergence of the hot Botkier "Bianca" Satchel:
