Re: Botkier Bag Sample Sale @ Gilt (6/26)
I've always pronounced it bot-key-air... I hope I'm close 
Gilt had this posted on their site:
Quote:
New York native Monica Botkier launched her line of handbags in 2003. Botkier began her career as a fashion photographer but parlayed her skill and eye for artistry and intricate detail into designing accessories and created Botkier, her eponymous line of handbags. Inspired by the fast paced, on the go lifestyle of New York women, Botkier fashioned bags that were roomy and functional yet chic enough for the discerning eye. Soon her collection of supple leather carryalls reached “It” bag status. The look is custom crafted, downtown sophistication so that, “every piece in the collection combines personal style and luxury with lasting utility.”
Botkier’s fan base spans the U.S, Japan, Scandinavia and the UK and is favored by celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth and Alicia Keys. In July 2007, Botkier was recognized for her contributions to accessory design and became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The Botkier signature approachable designer aesthetic is carried in Barney’s New York, Fred Segal, Neiman Marcus, Harvey Nichols, select boutiques nationwide and now, Gilt Groupe.
