Botkier

Monica Botkier began career in fashion, not as a designer, but rather as a photographer for the industry’s top fashion magazines. In 2003 with the desire to create an approachable designer brand, Monica created the Trigger bag, which was inspired by her busy downtown lifestyle, and it became an instant classic. The Trigger bag’s almost instant popularity helped to establish the brand as an industry leader and trend-setter, frequently gracing the pages of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Marie Claire, Glamour, and Lucky. In 2008, Monica became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and brought the Botkier brand philosophy to footwear and other accessories.

Botkier handbags and accessories embody luxury through custom detailing, innovation, and quality while maintaining a focus on functionality for everyday use. The Botkier brand has become a favorite among celebrity fashion icons including Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Beyonce, Jessica Alba, and Rhianna, being spotted both on the red carpet and throughout New York and Hollywood.
