New York City native, Monica Botkier launched her namesake bag line in 2003. As an ex-fashion photographer for international fashion magazines, Monica developed a keen eye for detail and functionality in fashion. Going for an urban chic look and catering to busy downtown Manhattanites, her line consists of slouchy patent and metallic totes. Monica shoots the Botkier ad campaigns herself every season and her super-cool creations have been spotted on stars such as Angelina Jolie, Lindsay Lohan, and Kate Bosworth.
