Many Botkier fans have asked me about the Botkier Taylor from the Fall 2009 collection.  As you might already know, the Botkier Fall 2009 collection is very rocker chic.  The Taylor bags bring the rocker chic flavor through their one-of-a-kind tassels design. I finally have the following information about the bags that I would love to share with all of you.

“Leather. Zippers. Studs… the Botkier Fall 09 collection flaunts all the details we love about Botkier. Taking it back to street chic NYC cool. Inspired by the seductive pulse of New York City streets and my favorite pair of worn in, black leather motorcycle pants. Handbags and shoes in a palette of moody darks and sexy neutrals that get better with age. Slouchy silhouettes that live with us. This is quintessential Botkier”.- Monica Botkier

If there is one shape of bag that will make you look slimmer, this is the one.  I noticed that long bags like this one are very flattering.  Forget about starving yourself to look slimmer: Just wear the right shape of bag.

Even though the overall look of the bag is fairly simple, it is definitely worth buying just because of it’s slimming effect.  This bag measures a generous 16.5″ x 5.5″ x 17.  I like the fact that it is roomy but does not look bulky.

There is only one minor gripe that I have towards long bags.  It is harder to reach for your things inside the bag compared to the shorter bags. But hey, if a bag can make me look slimmer without pinching my feet, making me stand on my tippy toes, or holding my breath.  I’m all for it.

You can buy this from Tobi for $486 (sale price)
