I feel like an idiot for asking but, how do you pronounce Botkier?

I always wondered too, and its sad I own a bag and am unsure, so when people ask I probably always pronounce it wrong. I say it "boat-key-air" which I'm sure is nowhere near correct

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.

When I read it I always say "Bot Key A" but figured I was way off. LOL!
Thanks!

I actually just purchased this bag at the Sale. Unfortunately, the black and brown were sold out, so I settled for the dark gold one. Not sure about the color, so wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on the bag and/or the color! Hopefully it won't be an impulse mistake!

An invite is a referral. You have to be invited in to the Gilt Groupe.

Which is why I said.... pm me if you need an invite. As in, I will send you a gilt invite link to access the site.
